well apparently the church constitution did mention dispensationalism, not as one of the "core doctrines" or whatever that you need to be a member, but as one of the side things that the church believes. so once it came out the pastor didnt believe it anymore there were months of meetings deciding whether to kick him out or modify the church charter. in the end he was forced out and then the people who forced him out left anyway. and the new pastor was an absolute charlatan.
Well it's about the same with my church organization. If you don't adhere to dispensationalism you can't hold a license (as of 2005). I was asked to obtain a license but I declined because I knew I couldn't agree to all of the organization's guidelines.
i dont really see the big deal about it tbh. i probably believed in it when I was younger, dont agree with it now, and dont really think it's important enough to argue over.
