Pg. 121 “Without doubt the most frequently
heard objection against dispensationalism is
that it is supposedly teaches several ways of
salvation. In particular, dispensationalists are
said to teach salvation by works in some
dispensations and salvation by grace in
others.”
Pg. 121- John Bowman (1956)
If any man is saved in any dispensation other
than those of Promise and Grace, he is savedby
works and not by faith! [The Dispensationalist] is
clearly left with two methods of salvation on his
hands-works for the majority of dispensations,
faith for the rest—and we have…to deal with a
fickle God who deals with man in various ways at
various times.

The confusion stems to some degree from our
use of the word “grace” to describe our current
dispensation. It is argued that we then then
believe that there was not grace prior to this
dispensation. This argument falls flat as the
dispensation of grace accentuates the grace of
God, but does not remove grace from previous
or future dispensations. God is always gracious.
Consider James 4:6 that demonstrates that even
in a given dispensation God can “give more
grace”.

Dispensationalism DOES NOT teach 2 ways
of salvation, it teaches ONE WAY OF
SALVATION!
HOWEVER, some dispensationalists have
made unguarded statements but so have
Covenant Theologians (pg 123)…Allis and
Berkhoff.
Salvation is always by Grace through Faith

Chafer, “The law was never given as a
means of salvation or justification.”
Scofield, “Law neither justifies a sinner nor
sanctifies a believer.”
William Pettingill, “Salvation has always
been, as it is now, purely a gift of God in
response to faith.”
SALVATION IS BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH
IN EVERY DISPENSATION!

Covenant Theologians also have promises
explaining the law under their covenant of
Grace. Consider the quote on page 118 by
Berkhoff

relationship and progression of Patriarchal
– Law – Grace.

Display by God’s electing Israel
Displayed in God’s frequent restoration of His
sinning People
New Covenant, which was announced during the
law period, was also a display of grace
God displayed His grace under the law by the
enablement He gave
It was during the period of the law that God
revealed Himself experientially to His people as
Yahweh
The great covenant with David was made during
the Mosaic economy…an act of great grace!

nationalities

Church’s Ending?
 Ephesians 3:20-21

Romans 11
 1, 11-Not cast away forever

9-Bride, lamb’s wife-Church
10-Jerusalem-Israeli flavor
12-12 tribes-Israel
14-12 apostles-Church
There remains a distinction in the New Jerusalem of Israel
and the Church and they are both “peoples” of God
collectively that retain their identity as a “people” of God.
“Every Nation and All People”
