Changing salvation to a future event is a pretty big deal. My big thing with it is it robs the church of the present spiritual reality, changing spiritual things into physical things, so that the spiritual reality can't be recieved.
In short it makes weak Christians that just want to be taken out of the world, it makes Christians who have given up on humanity.
It's essential stuff to me, all that really matters.
:)
It also teaches a difference between "the church" and "Israel".
A teaching that has been around since the early church fathers.
Early Church Fathers like Justin Martyr (2nd century) and Irenaeus (2nd century) acknowledged distinctions between God’s dealings with Israel and the Church in their writings. They recognized that God had specific plans for both groups.
Jesus, Peter, John and Paul (1st century) disagree. They recognized that God has only one church, one bride, one peculiar people, one olive tree (with both Jew & Gentile) as branches!
Israel has been set aside for a "time":
Romans 11:25:
This verse in Romans 11:25 highlights a temporary period in which Israel has experienced a hardening, allowing for the inclusion of Gentiles. It speaks of a mystery concerning God's plan, indicating that this setting aside of Israel is temporary and coincides with the time of the Gentiles coming into God's redemptive plan.
Other verses that discuss similar concepts or themes of Gentiles being included in God's plan while Israel is temporarily set aside:
Luke 21:24:
Acts 13:46-47:
Romans 11:11-12:
These verses in Luke, Acts, and Romans collectively address the temporary shift in focus from Israel to the Gentiles in God's redemptive plan. They reflect the idea that Israel's partial hardening or setting aside allows for the inclusion of the Gentiles, serving a larger purpose in God's ultimate plan of redemption.
The followers of Jesus Christ don't follow the early church fathers.
Dispensationalism makes it's doctrine into what the church should be following, then they fight to keep their system king.............just like the OP says.
System bound.
It is painfully clear you are not familiar with the writings of the early Church Fathers - disciples of the Apostles.
You would do well to familiarize yourself with them.
Yup
:)
The promise to be spared from the hour of testing that comes upon the unbelieving world does not make Christians weak. It gives them hope and confidence in the promise of Christ and His Word. Fulfilling the great commission until the last elect of the church believes before removal (before the hour of testing) is not giving up on humanity.
“Essentials” are already defined as essential to salvation. That means you don’t get to redefine terms and their meanings.
:)
I don't see the unbelieving world address in the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Chapter 13 is a description of Babylon.
The carnal man is being worked out of the church through judgment throughout the book.

Nothing you say or post can change it.
Change what?
I can't change the dependency on the system?
True, but I can be a light in the world that is looking for light.
Jesus Christ makes all things new.............but when? We process in time, you have not contemplated some things because it is not time yet...........me too.

You spiritualize almost everything in the Word making it mean practically whatever you want it to mean - rendering it meaningless. Your sole hermeneutic you claim is the "Holy Spirit," which is just a Sunday school way of saying "my feelings."
~ 2 Peter 3:16
~ 2 Timothy 2:15
I don't remember talking to you about "everything" in the Bible. I've been studying the Bible as a disciple of Jesus Christ since the 1980s, before that I was raised in a fundamentalist church since the 1970s. I'm familiar with the scriptures and I don't go against them.
The Holy Spirit must open the meaning of scripture for you. I don't worry to much about hurting your feelings, but I will take the time to discuss your feelings, it's important we communicate such things, the Holy Spirit does work closely with our feelings. Mostly I've spent decades working the inner working of the Spirit of God, and I do get a feeling when doctrine is amiss. I don't always know why a thing is amiss and sometimes I never figure it out, but I don't "hear" a doctrine if the Holy Spirit isn't confirming it in my being. It's a spiritual reality, our fellowship with the Father and Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit (1 John 1)
I spent decades studying Paul's Epistles, I read them over and over until I got a feel for them. I'm not struggling with Paul, are you?
Rightly handling the word of truth is very important to me, that is why I war with dispensationalism.
I'm not sectarian, so I follow no man's system, I'm authorized to war with false doctrine by the scriptures, and the Holy Spirit.
Let no man take your crown.
The sixth church type in Revelation had already overcome the religious right (those that say they are Jews), you learn to stand on the truth and the crown is the crown of life from Revelation 2:
Revelation 2:10 be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
The second church type is dealing with the religious right, being persecuted, the religious right tries to make you submit through force.
The death is the carnal man that has the need to be accepted by the religious right. It is being beheaded as in Revelation 20:5:
Those that reign with Jesus Christ must conquer Babylon...........daily
