Dispensational Clarifications pg 131 Virkler disparagingly presents dispensationalism as “a changing theory”

• Modification of four previous erroneous beliefs

• 1) The Postponed-Kingdom theory
• At 1st Christ intended to setup an earthly kingdom with Israel at its center.
• When Israel rejected him, Christ withdrew the offer of an earthly Kingdom
• Christ set up a 'spiritual' kingdom – the church – instead.
• In actuality and in context the Scriptures affirm that God's offer would first be given to the Jews and then to the Gentiles.
• 2) The Nature of the Two Kingdoms
• Scofield erroneously differentiated Kingdom of God (eternal) from Kingdom of Heaven (earthly)
• 3) Assertion of two entirely separate people of God, his heavenly and his earthly people
• In actuality the phrase “people of God” refers to both Israel and those outside Israel ,i.e. us.
• 4) The Notion of two covenants in the dispensation of Grace
• The new covenant includes all believers whether Jew or Gentile
