A comparison of dispentional system of the Ante-Nicen Age:

[John3v36]

Another topic I had going the following statement was made with my following comments I thought I would make it its separate topic.
==================================================
Last time I checked, the Rapture did not show up in the writings of Justinus Martyr.

As for other aspects of Dispensationalism. Proof please!

=============================================
If you are looking for the word Dispensation you will not find it but you will find the concept.
the convent view point can not be found till the 3rd century.

Johnny,

Where exactly does the Bible teach premillenialism?

This doctrine can be broken down into three basic parts.

Pre - before

millenial - 1000 years

ism - ain't so

In Christ,

[John3v36]

The fact that the rapture was expected at any moment. Would make it premillenial.

 

[Chemnitz]

The fact that the rapture was expected at any moment. Would make it premillenial.

Not necessarily, belief in the imminence of the end of days does not make it premillenial as amillenialist believe in the imminence of the end of days.

Really? I see several different views of the same time period interspersed with a few interludes culminating in Christ's return and the new heaven and new earth.

I see that as well.

I see none of the schems prior to Nicea (325AD)
were at all predictive of the length
of nor the name of what we now call the
Church Age (AKA /also known as/ Time of the Gentiles, Age of Grace, etc). And none of the
7 churches of Revelation/7 sub-age schemas
today is predive either. To believe that
all 'dispensationalism' is about is these
7 churches of Revelation = 7 sub-age schemas,
is to Limit God's Economy (AKA: Dispensation).
God is not limited by our bad guesses.
