I'm back.
This is little bit off the track. But, I still discuss focus on salvation issue relate with this topic.
I want you to ponder very serious.
I would like to discuss with you about dispensationalism issue relates with salvation.
I notice over 90% of dispensationalists believe in eternal security salvation.
Most IFB(Independent Fundamental Baptist) and SBC are dispensationalists. In America, about 98% or 99% of IFB and SBC believe in onced saved always saved same as eternal security salvation.
Many SBC & IFB pastors were graduated from college, their colleges which teaching on dispensationalism. That why, many SBC & IFB pastors were learning from their teachers on dispensationalism. Not only on dispensationalism, also, they were learning from their teachers on security salvation.
That why many IFB & SB pastors are teaching on dispensationalism & security salvation to their congregation today.
I would like to explaining you what dispensationalism teaching on salvation. They teaching there are salvation plans of different ages.
1. Old Testament Period - Conditional security salvation: Faith on God, Obeying the laws, doing daily animal offerings to forgive their sins often and often.
2. New Testament Period - Unconditional security salvation: Saved by the grace through faith, not of works. Only believe on Christ, plus nothing.
3. Tribulation Period - Conditional security salvation: Grace gones, Holy Spirit departs. keep faith on Christ, take Golden Rules, do not worship the beast, do not take the mark of the beast
4. Millennial Period - Unconditional security salvation/conditional security salvation: Unconditional salvation apply to people who already saved during New Testament Period prior rapture, have glorified body, nothing to be worry about salvation. Conditional salvation apply to people, who missed rapture, survived through seven year of tribulation period, will enter into millennial period with their own flesh. These people who still have flesh after they survived tribulation period to enter millennial, will have to obey their King(Jesus). Have to offering animal sacrifices before their King for to forgive their sins often and often. Survived tribulation saints will have to be dsicplined by their King with the rod. If they refuse to obey their King, will die during millennial, will go to hell.
Does the Bible actual teaching according what dispensationalism teaches?
Their teaching is unbiblical.
Let's start discuss with Old Testament verses and New Testament verses, to see which one is conditional salvation or unconditional salvation.
Let's start with Exodus 32:31-33.
"And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. And the LORD said unto Moses, 'Whosoever hath sinned against me, him
will I blot of my book."

IF any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

Conclusion: Tell me, does the
whole Bible teaching us of unconditional security salvation? If so, then tell me, are these which shown are so overwheliming of warning with conditional? Then do you think there are half of unconditional security salvation & conditional security salvation in the whole of the Bible? If so, is there two or more different plans of salvation in the Bible?
