Subject: Hyper calvinism and Backsliding? |
Bible Note: I think you are assigning more value to Dispensationalism that there is. The only exposure to Dispensational theology that I have been exposed to was via personal reading of Clarence Larkin and Dake. There were perhaps others I don't recall. I have never heard a sermon, teaching, or seminar on Dispensationalism. I think the term gets thrown around a lot in connection with End Times theology. We the AG believe in Millenniumialism, the rapture, Second coming, not in that order but as far as teaching on the common divisions on the Dispensationalism that does not occur generally within the AG denomination. That is not to say some pastor some where has never have taught on it. I think the general principals of Dispensationalism can been clearly seen when we look at how God interacted with man down through the ages. I checked with three other AG pastors and they all say about the same thing. Dake once was the fair haired preacher of Pentecostalism. When his bible came out you almost had to use it or be a "heretic" . However many errors, bad theology and just plain false teaching in his theology had come to light and only the very die hard cling to his teaching. Frankly my perception of Dake Dispensationalism was send in your money and get a "full colored" chart of the Dispensations. What s important is the knowledge that down through the ages God interacted with man in many ways. These interactions were planned by God from the beginning and each accomplished God's purpose. |
