My View has changed on these issues:

What views have you had that have changed due to the discussion here on Baptist Board?

Could be political
Could be Doctrine
Could be denomination
could it be any other issue

On the other hand
have any of your views been strengthen because of the discussion here on BB?

 

[John of Japan]

My dispensationalism has become stronger.
1. I've seen allegorical interpretation in action many times, and been strengthened in my grammatical-historical hermeneutic.
2. I've seen how weak or even ridiculous many of the arguments are against dispensationalism: that it is Catholic (false), that it is new in history (So?), that Christians replace Israel (So, God lied to Israel?), etc.
3. I've seen the nastiness of some opponents of dispensationalism.
4. I've seen the lack of comprehension exhibited by many opponents. Come on, how can you oppose something you can't even define correctly?
5. I've seen how poorly some opponents define basic words such as "apostasy." One opponent says dispensationalism is apostasy, showing the lack of even a basic understanding of Bible teaching on what apostasy is.

As “iron sharpens iron” there has been a confirming and refining.

As John said in the above post, my dispensational thinking has been strengthened.

In the historical premillennial mode, I remain looking up to see the redemption coming, but also acknowledge as did Dwight Pentecost that the Scriptures are basically silent when it comes to the United States.

Details on things I had previously to believed to affirm my previous belief. Some words used in translation may need to be abandoned. But I really have no say to cause it. Not yet. Maybe never or not in my life time. The Translations to watch. The KJV. NASB it's editions. NKJV. ,MLV. F35GNT. Of course some of others are also changing. Opinions change. God's original word has not changed. Only our limited understanding. Hopefully toward His original.

My eyes have been opened more on the Reformed/Calvinistic issues, as I see the way the misuse and abuse the Bible in their "support" of their unbiblical THEORIES!

The Biblical needs to be placed side by side against the unBibical that God may open eyes that all may see His truth.

I agree.

There are those who do abuse the Scriptures no matter the “theory.”

All theories have extremes.

7For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8For both if we should live, we live to the Lord; and if we should die, we die to the Lord. Therefore both if we should live and if we should die, we are the Lord’s. 9For unto this, Christ died and lived again that He might rule over both the dead and living.

10But why do you judge your brother, or why also do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11For it has been written:

“I live, says the Lord,
that every knee will bow to Me,
and every tongue will confessb to God.”​

12So then, each of us will give account concerning himself to God.

. . dispensationalism . . . .

There are dispensationalisms and there is God's dispensations that He has set to be. ,By God's grace we may understand His.

I believe in a Biblical literal dispensationalism. But not pretriblationalism. And other details I may differ on. I believe salvation was always been by grace through faith. From Adam to Noah to Abraham to Moses to Christ. And between Moses and Christ other important history.

I went from Armenianism to Calvinism

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

I went from Armenianism to Calvinism

And I’ve been convinced that Doctrines of Grace are indeed biblical

 

[canadyjd]

I am always willing to change my views based on scripture. However, even well thought out explanations of dispensation theories have not swayed my view: there is no 1000 year reign on earth, or that the rapture does not occur on the day of Christ 2nd coming, immediately followed by the judgment. There is no separate future for Israel and the church.

After carefully considering scripture, I have changed from being pro-death penalty to believing Christians should not support the death penalty.

Thanks to all who engage in civil debate.

peace to you

 

[Iconoclast]

My views on the 5 points have been totally strengthened seeing the error of those who oppose the 5 getting worse and worse. Moving further away from dispensationalism and its wooden literalism has freed me to explore other ways believers have seen these truths concerning the gospel of the kingdom, the current reign of the Lord Jesus Christ. and working on improving a proper biblical worldview.
I see also the need for developing more of a daily, and constant communion with God in order to be more of a public witness.

 

[John of Japan]

That is entirely possible theologically.

And other details I may differ on. I believe salvation was always been by grace through faith. From Adam to Noah to Abraham to Moses to Christ. And between Moses and Christ other important history.

Very few dispensationalists would disagree with you. I would not disagree, nor would Ryrie.

What brings critics to think that dispensationalists believe in salvation by works in previous dispensations is one ambiguous statement in the Scofield Bible, and that's all. None of the major writers after Scofield (Ryrie, Chafer, etc.) believe that salvation needed works in dispensations previous to the Church Age.

 

[just-want-peace]

My views have NOT changed due to any input on this board. I still believe in "interpreting" everything literal UNLESS the context indicates otherwise.
I have absolutely no problem with conflicting views except those who INSIST that all other than their view is heretical, or insist that everything should be "spiritual"!
I have no patience with those who are so adamant that they are the only ones "spiritual" enough to really know what certain passages mean, & everyone else is simply changing the Word to suit themselves. Many of these quote scripture that, to me anyway, have no bearing on the subject, & when questioned about same, offer no response except more unrelated scripture. Simply explaining the reasoning would go a long, LONG way to avoid controversy & enable others to understand the stance.
To these I would say - Physician, heal thyself!

After saying all that, I have come to respect other views as I have learned other's reasons for views different from mine, so overall I would say it has been positive for me!!

 

[RighteousnessTemperance&]

Depends on what is meant by changed. My appreciation of certain differences has broadened and in some cases deepened. This is because, more often than not, issues and comments have set me in search of more information.
