During this dispensation, salvation is by faith and works, don't take the mark, etc. During the dispensation of grace, it is faith alone.
Where did you get the two dispensations from? Is the gospel not for the Jew and gentile? Isn't it the same gospel for either of them?
Show me where the is a different set of doctrine concerning faith and works to the Israelites and the gentiles.
Nicolatians has the meaning you said but also has the meaning of follower of Nicolas of Antioch. https://www.christianity.com/wiki/people/who-were-the-nicolaitans-in-revelation-why-did-god-hate-their-practices-so-much.html
- The Nicolaitanes are the followers of that Nicolas who was one of the seven first ordained to the diaconate by the apostles. They lead lives of unrestrained indulgence. The character of these men is very plainly pointed out in the Apocalypse of John, [when they are represented] as teaching that it is a matter of indifference to practise adultery, and to eat things sacrificed to idols. Irenaus, Against Heresies book 1 chapter 26 verse 3.
"After the resurrection, obviously, anyone at any time can be saved by faith alone, but God set aside the nation of Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in."
Acts 15:11 does say that gentiles saved by grace in Jesus when the Jews are demanding converts to accept the mosaic laws. Hebrews 9:13-14 says Jews also need Atonement from Christ sacrifice on the cross. In my understanding the Jews have the same gospel and doctrines as the gentiles do.
I think where we differ is the difference of what you see as works to what i see the works in the book of James. James is not talking about keeping the mosaic or Roman Catholic law type of works but is talking about acting out good deeds, like the good Samaritan parable.
We are both right and the original commenter was right as well. James is saying we need to prove our faith by acting out the change of heart. As Paul wrote in Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Sorry for the long reply.
