This article warns us of the warning signs of Hyper Dispensationalism.

I wanted to look at those signs.

Article: "Insistence on 5 [or more ]points of Calvinism."

As far as I know there are only five points of Calvinism:

TULIP

T-otal Depravity

U-nconditional Election

L-imited Atonement

I-rresistable Grace

P-Perseverance of the Saints

I only believe the first and fifth points of Calvinism and its not
because I'm a Dispie or a Calvinist, its because I read the
scripture.

I believed the first and five points before I even knew what a
dispie was.

In fact something is seriously wrong with anyone's theology if they don't believe the first point.

If you don't believe the first point, then you believe that there is
something good in you that helped you come to Christ.

But this quote says, 'Insistence on 5 [or more ]points of Calvinism.'


First of all I dunno of more than these five points and the particular Jews that created this test probably don't even know what these points are.

Article:

"Talk of the Jews having to obey the entirety of the Law to earn
Salvation"

This is allegedly another sign that one is a hyperdispensationalist.

This is not true of the dispensational online book that I sometimes quote from.

They say,

"We have no illusions as to man's utter inability to please God by
works as such in any age. Man has always been saved essentially by the grace of God, through faith. There could be no other way to be saved. This is a fixed principle to which Hebrews 11 bears abundant testimony and it should be self-evident to those who accept as facts the utter depravity of man and the infinite holiness of God.

Article goes on:

"Seeing the Jews as Having a Different form of Salvation"

Rather than commenting on this one, I think the previous message dealt with this point as well.

We should be able to agree that there are things said in the bible
that are not applicable to us.

For instance, I should not be concerned about making animal
sacrifices anymore or cutting my beard. (Leviticus 19:27), or
whether my flight is on the sabbath. (Matthew 24:20)

So everything should be judged in light of the whole counsel of God and context.

Take books like James for instance which in the very first verse
say, 'To the twelve tribes scattered abroad.' Now if there wasn't
something to them specifically, what was the purpose of saying that?

"Studying the Bible dispensationally may seem confusing at first but actually it dispels confusion, explains difficult problems,
reconciles seeming contradictions and lends power to the believers ministry.

If I should step inside a modern United States Post Office all would doubtless seem very confusing to me. But it would be a mistake to suggest piling all the mail neatly in one corner and handing it out promiscuously to all corners as some would do with the Bible. The postal employees must "rightly divide" the mail so that each person receives what is addressed to him. What seems like confusion to the novice is really a simplification of the work to be done in getting each person's private mail to him.

It is granted that in the Bible even that which was addressed to
those of other dispensations is given to us for our learning and
profit, but we must not confuse this with our own private mail or
make the mistake of carrying out instructions meant particularly for others.

While I am reading mail addressed personally to me, a friend may hand me, for my interest or information, mail addressed to him. His mail and mine may all prove informative and profitable, but I must still be careful not to confuse the two, expecting to receive things promised to him or carrying out instructions addressed to him.

This site goes on:

"The belief that Jews have NO access to Salvation during this post-Golgotha period."

I don't see anything in what I have studied about Dispensationalism that teaches such a thing.

The closest teaching that I can think of is that in THIS PRESENT
DISPENSATION, the Jew must come to God INDIVIDUALLY not through his group affiliation.

So rather than Group Think:

'...to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.' (Romans 1:16b)

AND

'These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, GO NOT INTO THE WAY OF THE GENTILES, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' (Matthew 10:5 ff)

AND

'(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that WE SHOULD GO TO THE HEATHEN, and THEY UNTO THE CIRCUMCISION.' (Galatians 2),

It is whosoever will, (Acts 10; Romans 3:23,24) and the result is
that presently and spiritually there is no difference. (Acts 15;
Galatians 2).

'And the voice spake unto him again the second time, WHAT GOD HATH CLEANSED, that call not thou common. 16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. 17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, 18 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.' (Acts 10)

'Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ
UNTO ALL and upon all them THAT BELIEVE: for THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;' (Romans 3)

"Belief that the Jews must both believe in the Atonement of Christ AND Obey the whole of the Law during the Tribulation Period in order to be saved."

BJ responds:

I've seen no indication of this from the online and dispensational
book that I quote from.

Still, one has to ask themselves what the purpose of a temple in the future Millenium will be.

It is the dispie that is more consistent in his literal
interpretation in believing that this is a literal temple, not an
allegorical one.

The dispie almost always will believe in the eternal security of the believer.

So when scriptures are used out of context by Catholics etc., such as:

'He that endures to the end shall be saved.' (Matthew 24), it is
the dispie that must add that the context of this is during the
Tribulation/Jacob's Trouble, when the prophetic program for Israel is resumed. (Jeremiah 30:7)

Do In order to Be.

Presently, Those that are saved endure to the end. (Hebrew 6:9;
Philippians 1:6)

Be in order to do.

Reading the book of Revelation does leave one with the impression that during that time it is more works oriented. Not that works ever saved but at different times they were an expression of one's faith as God commanded them to do so.

But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. (Hebrews 6:9)

The Article Goes on trying to critique Dispensationalism: 

"Beliefs that the Jews do not inherit the Heaven of 'saved' Gentiles but that they instead inherit the Earth." 

BJ Responds: 

Dispies are for the most part silent on the nature of the afterlife,
because scripture isn't real specific in explaining it, except in
describing a New Jerusalem and saying things like:
