In conversations with Baptists of many persuasions I find a growing neglect or even rejection of Dispensationalism. Having been trained in a Baptist school in such and more solid than ever in those convictions 45 years later I can't help but think of at least a few reasons why. Your thoughts?

 

Yeah. That was weak at best

 

Yes. This from a Reformed Calvinist Amillennial whose hallmark is literal grammatical hermeneutic.

 

You open the Bible. A ruined creation restored over 6 days time. A qualified man in charge of that creation. A 7th day of glory and rest. A bride ruling with that man. But today we have "kingdom now" teaching. The natural result of 40 years of Lordship theology. And now this Lordship mess is so close to Reformed doctrine that it systematically swallows up every group in sight. But The 7th day is coming. It is not here yet. Israel must repent before that day but Israel is explained away by these Augustian thinkers. But He is now bringing many sons to glory through suffering. Others will have their talent taken and suffer for their carelessness. The qualified man will return and reign. The bride along with Him. And the tares that have spread grievous error that the future kingdom is just a spiritual thing, something in your heart, and as a result have caused many to stumble will be recompensed in that day.

 

Many would disagree. It is the only explanation for Lucifer as the provincial ruler of the creation. God puts a Son in charge of His realms. Lucifer ruled over the heavens and earth and was replaced by another Son in the 6 days of restoration. Adam was disqualified. And another man was sent. He was not ruined by the current ruler. The temptation was to disqualify Jesus as a ruler not to prove whether or not He could sin. On the 7th day that ruler will remove Satan from his heavenly government and install new rulers whose citizenship is there and who have qualified in this age by being faithful while He is away.
