What Is the Relationship Between Dispensationalism and Free Grace?

Covenant Theology, Dispensationalism, Eschatology, Free Grace, John 3:16

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Sam Marr are answering a question about the relation of dispensationalism and free grace theology. What is a dispensation and why is there a relationship to free grace – i.e. why do they seem closely akin to each other? How does this relation compare to other viewpoints in theology and perhaps different brands of free grace theology? Thank you for listening!

Gentry and Johnson have an online article titled, “Ninety-five Theses Against Dispensationalism.” See here. I have selected three that I will touch on here and speak on at our conference, May 19-22. Dispensationalism is new and is inconsistent with Christian scholarship (Thesis 1). Imminency is contradicted by Matt 25:1-9, Luke 19:13, & Acts 1:6-7 (Thesis

What Is Dispensationalism? Part 2

Even non-dispensationalists recognize that the commands of the NT are not the same as the commands under the Law of Moses and that the commands before the Law of Moses were different still. Scofield, in his study Bible, suggested that there are seven total dispensations, with one of those, which he called kingdom, being future.

The topic for our May 19-22 annual conference is “Dispensationalism and Eternal Rewards.” Many people do not know what dispensationalism is. The word dispensation occurs in some English translations (KJV, NKJV, ASV, JUB, Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, TMB, YLT, Wycliffe) in four NT verses (1 Cor 9:17; Eph 1:10; 3:2; Col 1:25). Other translations of those

The Church Is Not Israel (Luke 9:1-6)

April 3, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Church, Dispensationalism, Israel, Kingdom, Kingdom Gospel, Luke 9:1-6

There are fewer dispensationalists today than in years past. Among other things, dispensationalists believe that there is a difference between Israel and the church. However, most Bible teachers say that the church is the new Israel or that the church has replaced Israel. Those who say that the church is not Israel are often held

Dispensationalism: It Might Be More Important Than You Think

October 16, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Baptism, Dispensationalism, Israel, John the Baptist

One of the characteristics of dispensationalism is that it makes a distinction between Israel and the Church. When you discuss such issues, it is common to hear people say that it is no big deal. We shouldn’t get bent out of shape over such things. There have been a lot of godly men and women

Those Crazy Non-Dispensationalists (Luke 3:7-11)

January 19, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Church, Dispensationalism, Israel, John the Baptist, Luke 3:7-14

As an Army chaplain, I was around people from various theological backgrounds. As a dispensationalist, I was in the minority. I even attended a couple of seminaries that were non-dispensational. On more than one occasion I have been called crazy. I was the butt of many jokes. Those who called me crazy pointed out that

Pop Dispensationalism

I recently read The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism by Daniel Hummel. In the book, he coins the term pop dispensationalism. I don’t know whether or not it’s used popularly. While I had never heard the term before, I understand what it means. I think a number of people are just like me in this

Why Do So Few Believe in the Judgment Seat of Christ?

May 9, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Bema, Dispensationalism, Judgment Seat of Christ

Jack emailed me a great question: “Why does it seem like only dispensationalists believe in the Judgment Seat of Christ?” For those who are not theology nerds, a dispensationalist believes that at various times–or dispensations–in the world’s history, God has changed His commandments. For example, today God allows us to eat pork or shrimp. We
