Thank you. A refreshing article. I concur with every position you have brought out, except I have drifted in some respects from dispensationalism and am loosely camping out in New Covenant Theology, which allows the literal hermanutic, premill, israel and the church distinct. I learned much from dispensationalism and have kept most of it.
Thanks for your comment, Greg. As I state on the "Beliefs" page, these divisions are rarely clean or simple, and theologians frequently hold positions that cross multiple camps, combining elements from different schools of thought.
For example, John MacArthur, is Calvinist in his soteriology, Modified Dispensationalist in his hermeneutics, and Lordship Salvation in his evangelism.
And yet, his friend, R.C. Sproul was Calvinist and Lordship but aligned with Covenant Theology rather than Dispensationalism.
The critical issue is straightforward; you cannot properly evaluate a teacher's message until you understand the framework behind it. Thanks.
