Quote of the Day


Regarding salvation, dispensationalists believe that in every generation
men are saved by grace through faith, but they also recognize that the
content of their faith differs from dispensation to dispensation. Ryrie (p.
123) explains salvation in Dispensationalism as follows: "The basis of
salvation in every age is the death of Christ; the requirement for salvation
in every age is faith; the object of faith in every age is God; the content of
faith changes in the various dispensations. It is this last point, of course,
w h i c h d i s t i n g u i s h e s d i s p e n s a t i o n a l i s m from c o v e n a n t theology.” 

(Fruchtenbaum, I, p. 326)

Quote of the Day


The plea that the prophetic portions of the Bible present problems over which men disagree is not a worthy release from its claims.  There are no more problems in Eschatology than in Soteriology.  It happens that, owing to the central place accorded Soteriology by the Reformers and in subsequent theological writings, that it has had a measure of consideration not given to prophetic truth.  Disagreements as divergent as Calvinism and Arminianism have never been urged as a reason for the neglect of Soteriology, but disunity of the slightest degree among teachers respecting Eschatology has been seized on as a reason for its neglect.
