Why I am not a Mid-Acts Hyper Dispensationalist Part 2

Описание: A Closed-Casket Funeral for Mid-Acts Hyper-Dispensationalism

This message is not an academic exercise. It is not a debate for sport. It is a biblical burial.

When I first began preaching, I believed that simply preaching exactly what the Book says would result in universal approval. I was wrong. Not about the power of the truth, but about people loving it. The Bible never promises that men will love the truth. It teaches the opposite.

JOHN 3:19
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

The Word of God is not gentle toward error. It exposes, judges, and cuts. That is why false doctrine fights so hard to survive.

HEBREWS 4:12
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

In this sermon, Mid-Acts hyper-dispensationalism is identified honestly and examined carefully. Not a caricature. Not a straw man. The exact claim is stated plainly and then tested against Scripture.

The system asserts that Peter’s doctrine of the new birth applies only to Israel and Jewish believers, while Paul alone teaches regeneration for the Church, the Body of Christ. Peter’s salvation language is labeled national, provisional, and earthly. Paul’s salvation is redefined as positional rather than regenerative.

That claim collapses when Peter’s own words are allowed to speak.

1 PETER 1:3–5
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Peter writes to saved people. Redeemed people. People begotten again by resurrection life, kept by the power of God, with an inheritance reserved in heaven. That is not national anticipation. That is present salvation reality.

The sermon exposes why deception persists, even when false doctrine is confronted with direct quotations from its own founders. The issue is not lack of evidence. It is blindness.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:3–4
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Peter and Paul did not preach two salvations. Scripture does not allow that division.

ACTS 15:11
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

This message demonstrates that regeneration is not metaphorical, not national, and not optional. Life precedes inheritance. Birth precedes growth. Resurrection life is essential to salvation for all believers.

The gospel itself is clear, complete, and sufficient.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:1–4
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Salvation is not earned. It is not worked for. It is not maintained by effort. It is received by faith in the finished work and shed blood of Jesus Christ.

ACTS 16:31
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

ROMANS 3:25
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

If you have never trusted Christ alone, the Bible leaves no room for confusion.

JOHN 3:7
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

This sermon is for those who want truth more than tradition, Scripture more than systems, and Christ more than camps.
