to fish for a coin to pay tax. In
Matthew 10 Christ gave the apostles special missionary instructions, which to my knowledge no Christian missionary today follows. He instituted buying swords in Luke at one point. These are dispensational issues. All Christians are to some extent dispensationalists to the extent that they do not regard the Law of Moses as their rule of life. Moreover, they recognize that God made Adam a gardener, told Noah to build an ark, and permitted polygamy in the OT by such great OT saints as King David. Yet Christians generally do not feel that they should be gardeners, make arks, or practice polygamy. One cannot be a Christian without being a dispensationalist to some degree.

of being saved by belief in Jesus, of being saved by repenting before sinning, and of simply being saved by the choice of someone else. Also, if Jesus had not been crucified, what would the doctrines be? Salvation by repentance with Godâs help? Also, should the biblical accounts of Jesus death be considered important at all, or simply annoying gratuitous violence in an historical record? Jesus at the beginning of his ministry preached repentance and prayer, and not the atonement. Therefore, there is room for an article on doctrines. --
810:. Via Chafer, the founder of the non-denominational Dallas Theological Seminary, the movement spread around the world via DTS students who came from many denominations and non-denominational Christianity. It should also be remarked that Chafer apparently was a disciple of C.I. Scofield founder of what became the non-denominational Philadelphia College of Bible (much like DTS). Scofield was pastor of a congregational Church (not baptist). Thus Chafer had 2 inputs (Lutheran Peters and congregational Scofield).
992:" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Knowledge are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the

normally think of the 5 points as
Calvinism. At any rate, bringing in baptists is irrelevant. "Baptists" so far as I know, only agree on one thing as to being baptists: water baptism of believers only. After that affirmation they may hold extremely wide difference, some being Arminian, some disbelieving the Bible and calling each other "moderates." (
1174:
Ultra-dispensationalists do not believe that the Church was founded in Acts 2 on the day of
Pentecost; they delay its foundation to some time later in Acts, perhaps even near the end of the book, and they may believe they should not practice the Lord's Supper or water baptism, as these things are not
1165:
The modern dispensational movement applies the dispensational interpretation more than others do, however. And there are degrees of dispensationalism. Generally dispensationalists affirm normal interpretation (literal is preferred unless there is manifestly a figure of speech or symbolic language).
1147:
The article is just so faulty that I can't see trying to fix it piece by piece, but dispensationalism is just one faulty part. The idea of dispensationalism is that on the one hand God has given eternal principles to angels and men which are constant (like Love God and Love
Neighbor as Self), but on
1161:
Similarly in the history of the world as recorded in the Bible, God instituted a system of animal sacrifice with the Law of Moses, a system valid only for Israel and for a limited time. When God instituted the Church, he enacted water baptism and abolished circumcision per the NT. Christ sent Peter

This term is used broadly to refer to mainline
Methodism as well as its various offshoots. It can also denote specific denominations--in the U.S. (and apparently in New Zealand) the "Wesleyans" are a more conservative/radical offshoot of the tradition, but in Britain for a long time the "Wesleyans"

I nominate this article for deletion as it runs on and on but has no citations. Moreover, it requires complete re-writing and is likely to have NPOV problems due to the many and conflicting points of view as to theology (for example, the attempt to include "tradition". If such an article ought to

As it stands, the reference in the article to dispensationalism is inaccurate. I see no way really to fix this article, and I don't think there is any way to write it without one group trying to cram its POV down the throat of others, as by an attempt to include tradition, a Roman
Catholic POV.
816:
Speaking of
Calvinism, Chafer was a 4-point Calvinist (TULIP) perhaps like Calvin! Dispensationalists may be even 5-point Calvinists. But they do not follow the theocratical nature of Calvin with trying to take over the government as in Geneva. I suppose some would call that Calvinism, but I

Dispensationalism is not a fundamental, neither was the historic fundamentalist vs modernist controversy a baptist vs other polarity. The fundamentals are basic
Christian beliefs which one must hold to be a Christian, like the deity of Christ, per fundamentalists -- the fundamentals are not
877:"Present Day COntroversies" seems laden with POV. In particular, the focus on Pentacostalism and the charismata seems too in-depth for this article, and should be a seperate article or included in a different article. There are plenty of other contemporary debates in modern theology.

Also they distinguish Israel from the Church as two different groups with a different history and destiny. They believe that the special promises to Israel in the OT (the land of Israel, a kingdom on earth) remain valid and were never transferred to the Church.
1095:
Biblical Theology isolates revelation from particular authors or movements in the Bible and addresses the systematic topics as presented by particular authors as well as topics emphasized by those authors and includes topics like the following:

This is like the Pope forbidding divorce, yet he may give a dispensation for an annulment to some particular person. Or like some ecclesiastical entity having married clergy but deciding at some point it time they should be

The history of dispensationalism can be traced 1) to England with John Darby, brethren, not baptist. 2) In the USA dispensationalism can be traced from Judge Joel Jones (a presbyterian, one time mayor of Philadelphia in his
