    OR.....it proves dispensationalism was D.O.A. and after it was shown to be flawed, a mad scramble has gone on, all kinds of damage control, trying to repair the breaches.....so we get doublespeak, partial fulfillment when the scripture indicates no such thing.
    It is defective it it's view of the Covenants, and must seek to explain away that which holds it all together.

    KYRED SAID;
    Originally there was......then when it got picked apart they had to change it.

    Even those who offered it up front felt the pressure and could sense the mistakes in it....to their credit, they did try and address it like here;

    There are problems in both it and Covenant theology, hence the New Covenant Theology, which to me is closer top what the Bible actually teaches!

    Yeshua1,
    You are saying this, but here is what was already quoted from dispensational persons;

    1]Christians are not party to a covenant of any form—new or old.

    Are Christians in any covenant? This dispensationalist says NO.
    The first question does not speak about national Israel, does it?
    yet you answer;

    [National Israel} will still have a plan for it from God,
    to be fulfilled at the Second Coming,
    It is not speaking about the second coming
    while the Church will have both saved jews/gentiles in it...
    the dispensational writer says Christians are not in any covenant....

    2]The very concept of covenants is exclusively associated with Gods earthly people Israel

    Do you believe only national Israel has a covenant that results in salvation?

    3]Christians are not party to the new covenant. The new covenant is not made with the church.
    Do you believe that Christians are NOT IN THE NEW COVENANT?

    THOSE ARE THE THREE QUESTIONS......3 QUESTIONS....3 ANSWERS..

    The New Covenant is Exclusively for Israel and Will be Fulfilled by Israel in the Future A view popular among early dispensationalists15 and still found today16 is that the new covenant is exclusively for Israel.

    15E.g., J. N. Darby, Synopsis of the Books of the Bible, 5 vols. (reprint ed., New York: Loizeaux, 1942), 5:330. In his discussion on Heb 8:7–13, Darby states, “We enjoy indeed all the essential privileges of the new covenant, its foundation being laid on God’s part in the blood of Christ, but we do so in spirit, not according to the letter. The new covenant will be established formally with Israel in the millennium.” Commenting on Heb 9:15, Darby adds, “The way in which the apostle always avoids the direct application of the new covenant is very striking” (5:340). Similarly, on Heb 10:15–17 Darby says, “He does not speak of the covenant in a direct way, as a privilege in which Christians had a direct part” (5:360).

    I did, and if I'm following your gist here this is distinctly Jewish, straight out of the Talmud.

    Can you provide some scriptures that make this distinction of Noahide Covenant people from Mosaic Covenant people and New Covenant people? This is getting rather complicated.

    That may not be the consensus of Dispensational opinion. Some Dispensationalists believe the New Covenant only applies to Israel. Others believe the formal ratification occurred prior to Pentecost.

    Some Dispensationalists, as noted above, deny the New Testament saints are under the New Covenant, but only Israel. Currently salvation is the same for Jews and Gentiles, but some Dispensationalists teach that Jews under the Old Covenant were saved by the works of the law, or via some other means.
    All Israel or only those of Israel who are alive at the time of the fulfillment of the prophecy?

    There are as many different views on Dispensations as there are of the Covenants. :)

    In listening to R.C. Sproul today, he lamented Dispensational Theologies (DT) false teaching that there doesn't have to be any transformation of a person, ever, when they trust Christ for salvation. He also stated that Campus Crusade for Christ was one of the largest proponents of this false teaching, and that the unfortunate outcome is that these people falsely believe they are saved. He also spoke of how churches are saturated with this false teaching.

    This was via a podcast series, and I believe it was titled 'The Dividing Christ' or 'The Barren Fig Tree'. I listened for several hours to him today while working on a project, so I forget which one it was, but it was on his series on Luke.

    Here are a couple links:

    http://renewingyourmind.org/2016/08/20/the-parable-of-the-barren-fig-tree

    http://renewingyourmind.org/2016/08/06/the-dividing-christ

    There are going to be a lot of people responsible for others that they have taught this error to.

    This is one reason that DT is preaching a false message of the gospel. I believe this to be a grave error. Now, not all who hold to DT teach or believe this error, John MacArthur Jr. for instance.

    I want to edit to add some Scripture for this, that refute the error that there need be no change: Romans 6:20-23 (especially note verse 22); 2 Corinthians 3:18ff; Hebrews 12:14; Luke 13:8ff (on the parable of the Fig Tree as mentioned above). Note also the near entirety of 1 John as well.

    That seems to be either Old Scofield studt bible notes though, or else Hyper Dispy, that deny that we are under any NT scriptures except for paul!

    The Church, starting at pentacost, has been ubder the New Covenant, as that One was made by the shed blood/death of Christ upon the Cross, and one must be born again in order to get saved, and all who are saved are under the New Covenant!

    One cannot be saved and not under that One...

    This is a very through survey of the different options held by Dispy regarding the relationship between the Church and New Covenant

    It is Jewish but it applies only to gentiles today.

    Gentiles who believe the OT only and do not want to convert to Talmudic Judaism can come in under the Naohide Covenant and worship Jehovah.

    Read further on the internet. Have a Dr appointment.

    I would rather read further from scripture provided from you that describes this other way for Gentiles to worship Jehovah, which you seem unable to produce.

    I believe there's going to be those that teach the false killjoy doctrines of Lordship Salvation/MacArthurism that will be responsible for driving the sheep away. And for the record I've known many godly Dispensationalists.

    The DTS paper you directed us to proves you are wrong about Dispensationalists and the New Covenant. Read under the heading,

    The New Covenant is Exclusively for Israel and
    Will be Fulfilled by Israel in the Future

    Not when it's in the spirit of Pharisaism. Attack and find fault with everyone is IT's modus operandi.
