I am, I think, in the final stages of leaving behind my dispensational background. I haven't been in too much of a rush about it as I was laboring under a misconception. I thought it was all about eschatology. I just was not all that interested in eschatology while I was rediscovering and deepening my understanding of the doctrines of Grace. I did not realize how much more was involved in the doctrine of Dispensationalism. I have just finished reading Gerstner's Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth.I had no idea how the doctrine has perverted the gospel and soterology, etc. Now I understand why so many of my Baptist friends espouse such Armenian ideas, all the while vehemently denying that they are Armenian. This was a difficult read, and I am sure that I will want to read it again after I let it percolate in my mind for a while. I just never picked up on the fact that dispensationalism had more to it than the eschatology. Am I dense? Or is it that that has been the main focus of discussion on the PB? Well, I know better now. Thank you Dr Gerstner.
