Thanks Mike! Non-dispensational here, but I commend you for your care and charity on the subject. You model very well how theological debate and in-house polemics ought to be done. Great example for all of us.
Thank you Duffey. That means a lot.
Excellent explanation of the key beliefs of Dispensationalism. I plan to send this out to our church family here in Nebraska. This will be a blessing to them. I am a Dispensationalist and have taught these theological truths to our church through my expository preaching ministry for over 30 years because these truths are the result of sound exegesis of Scripture. Thanks and God bless for your faithful ministry to the body of Christ.

Who is now the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary?
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36)
We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24.
===============
Who is really teaching “Replacement Theology” ?
(Did God fulfill His promises to the Jewish people at Calvary? Matthew 26:28, John 19:30)
The advocates of modern Dispensational Theology often accuse others of promoting “Replacement Theology”, or some may even say “Antisemitism”. What does the Bible say about their accusations?
1. Who is replacing Christ as the seed of Abraham through which all the families of the Earth would be blessed in Genesis 12:3, with Abraham’s modern descendants? (See Paul’s interpretation in Galatians 3:8, 3:16.)
2. Who is replacing the one people of God in John 10:16, with two peoples of God ?
3. Who is replacing the one seed (Christ) in Galatians 3:16, with the many seeds?
4. Who is replacing the children of the promise in Romans 9:8, with the children of the flesh?
5. Who is replacing the faithful “remnant” of Israelites in Romans 11:1-5, with the Baal worshipers?
6. Who is replacing the word "so" in Romans 11:26, with the word "then"?
7. Who is attempting to replace the Church made up of all races of people, with one made up only of Gentiles? Why did Peter address the crowd as “all the house of Israel” in Acts 2:36, when about 3,000 Israelites accepted Christ on the Day of Pentecost?
8. Based on Hebrews 9:15, the New Covenant cannot be separated from the Messiah’s death. Is the covenant in Daniel 9:27 connected to the Messiah’s death in Daniel 9:26. Is the covenant with the “many” in Daniel 9:27 the same covenant with the “many” in Matthew 26:28? If it is, some have replaced the New Covenant in Daniel 9:27 with a future covenant made by an antichrist not found in Daniel chapter 9. (See the 1599 Geneva Bible used by the Pilgrims.)
9. Those promoting the Two Peoples of God doctrine of Dispensational Theology often accuse others of teaching “Replacement Theology”, but are they the masters of it? Are they promoting a form of Dual Covenant Theology based on race? (See “genealogies” in Titus 3:9) Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis?
10. Watch the CZcams video “Genesis of Dispensational Theology” to see the origin of this man-made doctrine, which is less than 200 years old. It was brought to the United States about the time of the Civil War by John Nelson Darby. The doctrine was later incorporated into the notes of the Scofield Reference Bible, and then spread through much of the modern Church.
Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas Texas was created in part to promote John Darby’s Two Peoples of God doctrine of Dispensational Theology.
Lewis Sperry Chafer, the first president of Dallas Theological, had the following to say about the difference between Israel and the Church:
“The dispensationalist believes that throughout the ages God is pursuing two distinct purposes: one related to the earth with earthly people and earthly objectives involved which is Judaism; while the other is related to heaven with heavenly people and heavenly objectives involved, which is Christianity.”
Lewis Sperry Chafer, Dispensationalism (Dallas, Seminary Press, 1936), p. 107.
Chafer states that, ‘Israel is an eternal nation, heir to an eternal land, with an eternal kingdom, on which David rules from an eternal throne,’ that is, on earth and distinct from the church who will be in heaven.”
Lewis Sperry Chafer. Systematic Theology. 1975. Vol. IV. pp. 315-323.
John Walvoord, another prominent voice of Dallas Theological stated…
"...it is an article of normative dispensational belief that the boundaries of the land promised to Abraham and his descendants from the Nile to the Euphrates will be literally instituted and that Jesus Christ will return to a literal and theocratic Jewish kingdom centred on a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. In such a scheme the Church on earth is relegated to the status of a parenthesis.”
John F. Walvoord, The Rapture Question.1979, p. 25
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are there two peoples of God in John 10:16? (See also 1 John 2:22-23, 2 John 1:7-11.)
What is the land promise to the Old Testament Saints in Hebrews 11:15-16?
(See what Joshua said about the Old Covenant land promise in Josh. 21:43.)
Based on 2 Peter 3:10-13, is this earth “eternal”? Will it be replaced by a new earth?
Based on Acts 2:36, and Romans 9:6-8, and Romans 11:1-5, and Hebrews 12:22-24, and James 1:1-3, can faithful Israel and the Church be separated into two different groups?
Who is the New Covenant promised to in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and is it fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 12:18-24?
Will modern Orthodox Jews ever be saved outside of the New Covenant Church, if the New Covenant is “everlasting” in Hebrews 13:20? (See also 2 Thess. 1:7-10) If the New Covenant has made the Old Covenant “obsolete” in Hebrews 8:6-13, why would God go back to the Old Covenant system during a future time period?
Read the recent book "The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism", by Daniel G. Hummel.
I’ve seen you post this elsewhere I think. Very very good points. I find it worthwhile discussing this with everyone in my life who is dispensationalist. Most have never even heard the word dispensationalist and all think I’ve gone “liberal” and have spiritualized the Bible to suite my heretical beliefs. Nothing could be further from the truth! I think this is common when covenantalist and dispensationalist talk about their differences. But it’s worth it as when we are challenged to defend the truth we are personally sharpened in a variety of ways and hopefully serve those we are contending with.

Thank you for the kind words. They are very rare these days. My wife and I once attended a conservative Bible Church. Then a man who was a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary started teaching Sunday School. He recommended we read the book "Things To Come", by Dr Dwight Pentecost. After I read that book, I started doing some research into who first taught modern Dispensational Theology. What I found surprised me. The doctrine is less than 200 years old. Watch the CZcams video "Genesis of Dispensational Theology" to see the original source in black and white. It came from a book written by a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest named Manuel Lacunza, and Edward Irving's English translation of that book during the 1820s. Irving taught doctrine from the book at the Albury Prophetic Conferences starting about 1826. John Nelson Darby taught the doctrine at the Powerscourt Prophetic Conference a few years later. After Irving died during 1834 Darby became the chief promoter of the new doctrine.
Once the doctrine was incorporated into the notes of the Scofield Reference Bible, the doctrine spread like a virus through evangelical churches in the U.S.
And now we have many Dispensationalists attempting to ignore the history of their doctrine, and claim it goes back to the first century Church. The Apostle Paul "dispensed" the Gospel in the same way a soda machine dispenses cans of soda. Some of the older preachers did talk about a dispensation of Law and a dispensation of Grace. However, they never claimed God had a Plan B of salvation for modern Jews outside of the Church.
Great video. We need more of this on social media.
Thank you. I'll be doing more.
Muchas gracias por la clara y oportuna explicación querido hermano Vlach!
Thank you for this video Michael
Nice. Its good to cover the basics.
Keep these video coming!
Thanks Mike. This was helpful.
Cool. I get to go to seminary for a refresher... ;-)
Someone please send to Joel Webbon 😂
It’s hard to dialogue with someone who typologizes and spiritualizes as much as he does.
I still like to watch Joel Webbon to a certain degree but lately it’s been packed with Post Millennial theology.
I swear I’ve listen to the Jeff Durbin episode a few times and still don’t feel like it’s articulate in a clear scriptural way
Be careful!! He’ll tell you you’re smearing him!!
Joel webbon? Eeh, Jeff durbin, Greg bahnsen, and Bruce gore would be a better recommendation
There's not much point of doing that:
Pastor Joel Webbon of right response ministries has a dispensational theology background.
Just like most of us that are now post-millennial we grew up dispensational in the Calvary Chapel era so we actually know chapter and verse all the mistaken beliefs about Rapture & second coming and the continued predictions that keep being wrong because the base theology of dispensationalism is highly mistaken.
Those failures are a KEY treason we're now Postmillennial Partial Preterist.
To give you just one key thing that I never knew as a dispensationalist that makes me now believe post-millennialisn is that Jesus Christ reigns as King RIGHT NOW, as is described in Psalm 110:1 and quoted again over 12 times in the New Testament seven times in Acts alone.
There's not a single verse that says that Jesus is going to leave David's throne at the right hand of God, in order to take up a lesser earthly throne in a purportedly rebuilt 3rd Temple.
The dispensational system in its prophecy charts messages and imagination proposes this but can never demonstrate it from from the Scriptural text.
There's WAY more errors / omissions & blind spots than space allows me to cover.
To discover a dozen or more, carefully watch & study RC Sprouls masterful series:
"The Last Days According To Jesus" - here on CZcams.
He shows in explicit detail how the Matthew 24, Mark 13 & Luke 21 chapters were fulfilled entoto in the conflagration & destruction of Jerusalem in AD 68-70.

Dr Ken Johnson does some good presentations on the beliefs of the early church (2nd snd 3rd century) concerning eschatology. Well worth watching.
You and Ken are pretty much on the same page.
Are these slides available? Thanks 🙏
I like when people cite these mantras "grace alone" "faith alone".... If it is grace alone then it cant also be faith alone based solely on the word alone.
Does your faith alone include the type of faith mentioned in Colossians Chapter 2? Particularly verse 12?
Odd….this is exactly what I read in my Bible. ;) thanks for the video. I’m currently pre-wrath in my rapture view, but I like how you say rapture timing is not an essential.
...simply put, whether the rapture is pre-trib or mid and even post (which make no sense to me), our hope is layed out in 1 Thessalonians and we all need to be about our Fathers business and be ready.
...yeah, it's what I see in the overall plan in The Bible.
Thanks for the video. this is how I've always heard dispensationalism explained as well. Make me wonder why it's called dispensationalism if it's not really about the dispensations. It seems to me the biggest problem we have today is a lack of teaching on sanctification. A lack of warning about false philosophies of our time. What does the Christian Life look like? How should we be living as Christians?
I would love to hear what the view of dps's is on JN Darby. How his life is perceived, the church groups he led and the outcomes there. I suggest it is a very important exercise to undertake.
Secondly, the same applies to the worldview of those subscribing to the Rapture idea. How will their Christian lives manifest?
Why is it that the USA has over more than 150 years, supported the ideas of dispensationalism and birthed
at least three major christian linked aberations characterised by heavy gnostic overtones? (Mormons, SDAs and JWs, to which you could add the "faith movement " with their overenacted eschatology ). Thank goodness for ( albeit what appears to be a minority)some excellent scholars
I may have it wrong, but there's a biblical teacher called Les Feldick, who I think teaches that you have to keep in mind (in scriptures) Who is talking, to whom are they talking, and then look at what is being addressed. Also with that, the idea that the PRIMARY focus of Jesus teaching is geared towards the Jews and Israel and lays out The Kingdom of God, and the twelve Apostles generally follow that also, but Paul on the other hand is focused primarily on the Church and the people in the Church, whether Jews or gentiles, but mostly towards the gentiles. This may seem obvious, but his conclusion is that the Church and the Jews/Kingdom (while sharing the same salvation) are two fundamentally different gospels, because the two groups are driven by different tasks, purpose and destinies. I'm sure I'm explaining this poorly, but basically, the two groups are, so to speak, under two different dispensations, have different purposes, or different fates. The Church for example being The Bride of Christ, and the Jews having more to do with The Kingdom of God on earth once Christ returns? Something like that anyway. As I said, I may be totally delusional, but that's what I thought that he was saying. And if it's correct (& I'm NOT sure if it is) it explains the difference between the various outlooks on eschatology and the end of days.
Also, I apologize that I can't tell you which one of Mr. Feldick's (many) videos lays this out. 🙏✝️🙏
For the most part, I agree with dispensationalism. However, they see the resurrection happening at the pre-trib rapture.
For the pre-trib rapture, I see dead bodies. There is a flash of light and dead bodies (Luke 17:37; Matt 24:27-28). We leave our bodies on earth. Our body will not disappear.
1 Thes 4:13-17 is the second coming with the only resurrection for the saints on the last day, last trump (John 6:39-54, 11:24, Rev 20:4-6, 1 Cor 15:52).
Rapture means your soul/spirit is taken. Resurrection means you get a new earthly body (1 Cor 15:40, 50-52, 1 Thes 4:13-17).
A literal interpretation of scripture shows that Israel and Judah were sister nations married to the LORD. Israel was the 12 tribe nation which became part of David's kingdom 7 and half years after David became king of Judah. 10 tribes of Israel were torn from David's house and given to Jeroboam who started a competing religion in his nation, Samaria.
God divorced the 12 tribe nation but kept the remnant tribes of Levi and Benjamin as refugees in Judah while the 10 Samaritan tribes of Israel were exiled.
When children of Judah came back from Babylonian Captivity, the only tribes that returned were Judah, Levi, and Benjamin. Zechariah who prophesied after the Babylonian Captivity declared the return of the House of Joseph (i.e., the father of Ephraim and Manasseh to whom Jacob gave, both, the birthright and the blessing that came from the Angel that named him Israel) as a future event.
Zechariah is the same prophet who prophesied the separation of Israel and Judah by cutting the staff "Bands" into 2 sticks after Ezekiel prophesied the restoration of Israel and Judah with the image of 2 sticks becoming one.
Hosea prophesied the coming situation between Israel and her Husband by naming one of his kids by Gomer "Not my people" and another "Not mercied". Hosea prophesies, also, about a restoration of matrimony to the Lord- something the Lord could NOT do while under the law of Moses. To remarry the divorced Israel, the Lord would have to, both, die (and let the law of the husband pass away) and be resurrected.
Both Paul and Peter used the prophecies of Hosea to explain how the gentiles were coming into God's new covenant with Israel.
jon fienberg, sounds really legit man
The distinction between the church and Israel with a special separate plan for Israel is the major doctrinal error with Darbyism. Mark and avoid.
The Israel we see today is not the Israel of God (Gal. 6:16)
I am a Dispensationalist, and as far as Soteriology goes, I think Provisionalism fits much more snugly with Dispensationalism along with pre-mill, and pre-trib than Calvinism and Arminiasm.
Would like to hear more of why you think so if you are willing to explain
@@SirThighmaster Just saw your reply. Out for the afternoon, but will respond later when I return. This subject is worthy of a thoughtful post.
Hello Sir, back on station for the moment. I trust the opinion of a large number of Bible Scholars of our day and in days past on their interpretational style. I guess the hermeneutical style seems more nested in common sense, ie, read the Bible in its plain sense unless directed not to…and of course there is room for interpretation here. I see this camp using this method consistently all the way to Tribulation.
So given some of this backdrop mentioned, the Historical Grammatical Contextual method of interpretation seems to fit in not only in this eschatology but also Soteriology,. SirThigh, I am new to Soteriology in its formal sense, I have spent a good amount of time in eschatological teachings. So coming from this point I see the Provisionist using a method of interpreting that most disposationlists use, which is what I described, even though most premills are Calvinist or at least a good amount. I trust this method of interpreting scripture
So as for now there is more work to be done, I might be wrong, I am not grandstanding it, I am seeing a bridge of the interpretative method that I trust.
So much more to say, but this hopefully will give some foundation as to how I am approaching this subject. A scripture like Jacob I loved Esau I hated is an example. I do agree with Leighton it’s a judicial hatred, not a predetermining as the Calvinist would understand it. I simple see it as a Time clock issue, we don’t understand how God can know the future and not predetermine it such a way that the person who cry’s out to the Lord, would be reject in a arbitrary, I believe the mystery is in Gods ability to Know, and yet we have freewill, if not than it is a believable illusion.
Hey Sir,
Been a tough day today had to put our family pet down so I just wanted offer something
What our your views?, I enjoyed his video.
Happy Fourth🎉
God bless
@@robertleo7486 Man so sorry you had to put a family pet down - that is no joke. I am sorry to hear that and pray that God blesses your family with endurance through it.
Thank you for the explanation! I guess what you seem to be saying is that, in your experience, provisionists seem to generally use a consistent grammatico-historical method of interpretation. For me I have to confess that it seem my experience is more like the opposite - but that is the nature of anecdotes I suppose. Would be interested to hear what you have to say after you dive into soteriology more!
@@SirThighmaster Apreciate your warm remarks 🤝
The bible clearly says" Let no man deceive you, for these things must happen first". Anyone who gets a different message from the bible is not reading God's word, but an altered version that leaves out or changes verses to fir the pre trib rapture doctrine. One of Satan's biggest achievements against mankind. May God show the truth✝️
The problem is the manifold wisdom of God within scripture is above most people's heads ...thats the problem most readers don't rightly divide the word causing a ton of error in gaining context ...the Bible teaches a pre trib view , the only way to see it is too rightly divide the scriptures .....
it seems to me dispensationalism is a way for a lot of people to remove the words of Truth spoken by Jesus out of their religion so they can ignore gods commandments through Jesus ou tof their doctrine and try to get to the Father by ignoring the way Jesus showed us through the Truth of his words, to the eternal Life promised by the Father to those who keep his commandments. all because one of the writers of the new testament preached a false gospel of doing what jesus said people would do in the end, saying lord lord, we've cast out demons in your name and done great works in your name, but he will say i never knew you. because they didnt do the first works of repenting from sin and taking hold of the covenant keeping the commands of god by following the commandments, and failing to keep the commandments of Jesus of loving one another like he has by doing good works to the least among us. A careful reading, will find that everyone in the new testament upholds the commandments as required, and holds doing good works as required except one man. to think that this is new "dispensation" through Paul is just ignorance as paul himself said that one shouldnt listen to someone who opposes the words of Jesus, which he does. And this is all easy to see when we remember that Jesus said thhat the heavenss and earth would pass away before the law passes away, also before his words pass away. Paul also tried to divide the flock into as dispensationalism does as well, but jesus said he had other sheep to bring, reffering to those not of israel, and there would be ONE FLOCK, and ONE SHEPHARD, and that flock is those who follow Jesus, whether jew or gentile, and that Shephard is Jesus, Liste4n to him and not the man who contradicts him. and leads you into the broad way. but follow Jesus through the narrow gate.
Very articulate. Though you really need to dump the pre-trib rapture falsehood.
Watch a film by Paul Wittenberg called AFTER THE TRIBULATION,
THE BEST EXPLANATION OF HOW DANGEROUS DISPENSATIONALISM IS !
You've been deceived by inductive reasonings of men... That's what dispensations under the form of time divisions are, the fruit of inductive reasonings. You need to study logic, on the matter of deductive, inductive, and abductive reasonings. You must recognize where the authority of inductive arguments ends. So, the super simple verse you need to twist is Revelation 20:4-5. It says the resurrection after the beheadings due to refusing the mark of the beast is the first resurrection. If that resurrection is the first, then, there cannot be a pretrib super massive resurrection of the dead (and rapture of the living), because when you are FIRST, YOU ARE FIRST. The word FIRST is an axiomatic word. A word that does not need to be explained. If you pretend the FIRST RESURRECTION is in 2 PIECES, then you can, in the same manner, TWIST ANY WORD in the bible to fit your theology. Do not claim you interpret literally the bible, if "FIRST" DOES NOT LITTERALLY MEAN "FIRST". And here is where you need to realize that the Holy Spirit put a super simple verse, KNOWING THE PRETRIB RAPTURE LIE WOULD COME TO EXIST, and the HOLY SPIRIT put a verse to CLEARLY REFUTE IT. Tell me, how could the Holy Spirit could have told you the first resurrection is the first (not in pieces), if you would allow yourself to twist such a simple verse? The Holy Spirit has no mean anymore to warn you, if you're going to twist AXIOMATIC WORDS. You failed at logic, by adopting dispensationalism... Your system is refuted by the bible (Rev 20:4-5), and you need to twist a simple, PURE AND REFINED word ("first"), to justify your doctrine... A dispensation is a RESPONSIBILITY, in the bible... NOT A TIME DIVISION...
How can the Greek word translated as "first" in Rev 20 be axiomatic, when there is more than one sense of the word that could apply here? For example, it could mean "preimminent". Also, this is not the "first" resurrection in the Bible; how do you explain that?
mid acts dispensationalism is where the truth is.
Jesus spoke the truth, its actually in the gospels where he did his teaching and said to repent from sins, or sin no more, and most explicitly in john chapter 14 through 15, where he says to keep the commandments as he did, and you will be loved of the father, and then they will abide with and send a helper. and goes on to say those who do not abide will be cast out and burned as a fruitless branch. this is also where he says those who just say lord lord and havent done the works of following his words by doing what he said, would be told he never knew you. basically these are the people who through concepts of man made doctrine like dispensationalism lie and contradict jesus and say the law passed away which he said wouldnt pass away until heaven and earth passed away support saying that all one needs to do is believe in his death burial and resurection and say Jesus is Lord. when Jesus in those chapters i suggest you read above gives instruction that goes well beyond the Lord Lord crowd.
Jesus is the way the TRUTH and the life.
You friend don’t know what your talking about.
Are you telling me that only the 4 gospels are scripture? Surely not…
It seems what you do is hold the 4 gospels in higher regard and not understanding passages like eph 2:8-9 where we are saved by faith WITHOUT THE WORKS OF THE LAW, you reinterpret it in the context of the 4 gospels so that it makes sense to you.
What you need to understand is that there are 2 ministries;
1. Jesus Christ according the prophesy which he gave to a physical nation called Israel, through the gospel of the kingdom in order to redeem the earth.
2. Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery, given to the apostle Paul after acts 9 to give to the body of Christ which is a new creature both Jew and gentile by the gospel of the grace of God, for the purposes of redeeming the heavens.
You deny scripture like the below verse where 2 gospels are clearly stated
[Gal 2:7 KJV] 7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision [was] unto Peter;
In doing so you don’t rightly divide the scriptures but mix them to your own destruction.
You know not what you speak of nor what you affirm.
@@ChathuraImbulagoda oh yes i fully deny any part of scripture that goes against what Jesus Christ himself explained in the gospels, mainly john chapter 14 through chapter 17, where he said contradicts all the easy believism that suggests you can get to the father without repenting first. because Jesus said himself, there was one flock and one shephard. Jesus himself said to keep the commandments, jesus himself said stop sinning, only if you keep the commandments do you fall under grace. if you consider removing Jesus as Rightly dividing the scriptures that will be to destruction because you cant remove the way the truth and the life from the gospel, because then there is no gospel.
Read acts carefully, Act 15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
whats this but that is Peter, chosen by god to give the gospel to the gentiles, the uncircumcision... and wait, paul was at that council. why would paul say a thing that contests what peter said?
also in that council, it was agreed that gentiles should avoid certain dietary things, meat sacrificed to idols, and that gentiles shouldnt be circumcized. after which Paul goes and circumcises a gentile.
Act 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
Act 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
notice there it says giving the holy ghost as he did unto us. if you open your bible to john chapter 14, you'll find that jesus says if you keep the commandments, then you will be loved of the father, and then we will abide with you and send a comforter. so just like them, you must repent first. and Paul is a liar who eats meats sacrificed to idols, paul is a liar who claims to hold peters position as an apostle, which required being with jesus from baptism to ascension, where he was not. and claiming further a position that was given to Peter.
Later in revelation you'll find Jesus in the letters to the 7 churches, speaking against pauls practivce of idoltry through the eating of meat sacrificed to idols, and even mentioning that they found a false apostle. thats Paul.
Jesus said there's one flock, Peter said theres one flock, but who is paul. read him with scrutiny, he shows himself to be a liar. because john says those who dont keep the commandments and the law and say they know jesus is a liar and the truth is not in them. so yes my friend, I follow Jesus, and throw out Pauls apostasy which he taught, and clearly followed. rebuked by Jesus' own words. Who knows who paul actually spoke to on the road to dasmascus a few years after Jesus ascended. because jesus told his disciples before his ascension that when he does return every eye will see. and if they say he's in the wilderness do not believe them. well thats where Paul met him, in the wilderness on the road to damascus. and then he went out and contradicted jesus' teaching and tried to abolish the law that jesus said would not pass away until heaven and earth passes away. im still sitting here. listen to jesus, Paul is your equal, Jesus is your Lord. you can call it a new dispensation, i call it the first antichrist gospel.
@@michaelv1838 your a full blown heretic for denying the full canon of scripture.
your not even saved because you think salvation comes by works of the Law.
the Gospel that saves (DBR) is found in Pauls epistles not in the 4 gospels.
@@ChathuraImbulagoda you got that "full blown cannon" from the roman catholics that have you pray to dead men. another abomination of idolatry against god.
Salvation comes from the words of Jesus Christ who said to keep the commandments of the Father as he has.
Paul is an apostate and false apostle exposed in revelation. and you ignore every command of Jesus.
read carefully. scrutinize paul, and accept anything out of the mouth of jesus as truth, you keep thinking he lied, but he said his words wont pass away until heaven and earth passes away, they will be in affect until the last day, follow them.
it is not a "New dispensation" when a wolf in sheeps clothing shows up and tells you to ignore the words of the messiah and the commands of God. thats what you call a temptation from the devil himself. it is actually in the law, that that man should be put to death.
There is no such thing as a pre-tribulation rapture.
The tribulation period that Joshua "spoke of in Matthew chapter 24 has already been fulfilled the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70Ad was the beginning of sorrows and then the wars in Jerusalem commenced from 115ad through 1967ad the six day war these wars were the great tribulation that Joshua ( aka ) Jesus spoke of this great tribulation was the time of Jacob's troubles the world as a whole is not identified as Jacob only Israel is identified as Jacob but most false preachers insist on teaching that tribulation will come upon the whole world this is false doctrine and should not be received.
Amen 🙏!

He’s right. Fulfilled in 70 AD. The Israel today is a Harlot. God divorced Israel, the book of Revelation is the Divorce decree against Israel, executed by the Romans in 70 AD. Jesus was speaking to THAT generation. I pray you see.
Dispensation is truly error of 125 years, thanks to Darby, Scofield and Herzl. The early church and fathers knew nothing of dispensation for hundreds of years prior.
The Left Behind Series creators have created such deception in millions of lives and will be held accountable.
@23:35, Dr. Vlach makes the unbiblical assertion that, "The Church did NOT exist in the Old Testament".
Stephen refutes this nonsense when he says,
" This is the one who was in the congregation (Gk. ἐκκλησίᾳ, ekklēsia; aka. the CHURCH!) in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai."
[Acts. 7:38].
Stephen was well aware that the "church" consisted of all the people of God who were of the faith in the Old Testament; and he had no problem at all in calling them, "the CHURCH".
Dispensationalism refuted by Scripture, once again.

Jews and gentiles are saved today without distinction. Both are members of one Body of Christ, also known as the church. The Body of Christ is not found in the O.T.
Did you actually READ Acts 7:38?
Stephen said the CHURCH existed in the OT. Please just read the text!@@aworkman
@@ryangallmeier6647 Yes I'm very aware that a church is in the O.T. but it was not the Body of Christ which is also an ekklēsia. It is more correct than to say that the Body of Christ did not exist before, however, it is a church of believers.
" Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad."
[Jn. 8:56].
Abraham was of "the body of Christ"; Abraham believed in the Messiah!
You're making unbiblical distinctions between the OT Church and the NT one.
All believers from all time are ONE UNIFIED WHOLE..."in Christ".

@@ryangallmeier6647 Eph 2:11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh-who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands- 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
What can you say about Pentecostals who believes in dispensationalism and continuationism? I am a Pentecostal and I believe Dispensationalism and that the gifts are for today. Some Pentecostal didn't believe or has ceased believing in dispensationalism because of its Cessationistic belief.
You can be a cessationist or continuationist and be dispensational.
@@michaeljvlach7388 thanks
You can say with certainty that pentecostals suffer from a disconnect : they simply do not grasp the linkage of the gifts to the Kingdom of God - and generally also do not see the Kingdom manifesting through those
