Jesus And The Thief On The Cross: The Salvation Of The Thief On The Cross

What We Need to Understand about The Salvation of The Thief on the Cross:

The Thief on the Cross was Saved Exactly the Same way as Everyone Else has Ever Been Saved.

Adam and Eve, Abraham, Jacob, Issac, Joseph, Moses, The Disciples, The Apostle Paul, The Thief on the Cross they were All Saved the Same way in the Bible.

The Thief on the Cross was a Sinner. He Knew that he was a Sinner. He was a Witness to Jesus’s Ministry. He Heard Jesus Preaching the Gospel.

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

The Gospel:

Romans 1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Do You See??? The Gospel is: “Is the Power of God Unto Salvation to Every One That Believeth…”

1st Corinthians 15:1 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:

The Only Way to Be Saved in the Bible is by Believing the Gospel.

The Bible Doesn’t Have 20 or more Different Plans of Salvation in it.

The Bible has Only One Way to Be Saved in it and that is the Gospel.

Let’s Examine The Salvation of The Thief on the Cross:

Luke 10:32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided [him], saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

How the Thief on the Cross was Saved:

He Believed the Gospel. He Believed on Jesus Only to Save him.

39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

The Thief on the Cross Realized that he was a Guilty Sinner. A Sinner Who Deserved to Die for His Own Sins.

The Bible agrees:

Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Thief on the Cross knew Jesus was Sinless, that he was Innocent. “….but this man hath done nothing amiss.”

1st Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Pontius Pilate Found Jesus Innocent. He Found no Fault in Jesus:

John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

The Thief on the Cross Asked Jesus to Save Him:

(It is obvious that he had heard Jesus Preaching. He knew what Jesus taught.)

42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

The Bible Says to Be Saved You Must Ask Jesus to Save you.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans Chapter 10 Can Not make it any more Clear. That A Person is Saved as Soon as they Have Believed on Jesus. Believing on Jesus = Believing the Gospel.

Romans Chapter 10 Teaches Eternal Life (Once Saved Always Saved.) in verse 11.

Romans Chapter 10 Teaches Everyone Can Be Saved, Not just Certain People. Everyone who has been Born can call upon the Lord and Be Saved.

This is what Romans Chapter 10 100% says. So Do Not Listen to Calvinists. Do Not Listen to Anyone that Tells You that You can Lose Your Salvation. These People are All Lost. They are Teaching a False Gospel of Works.

Jesus Tells the Woman from Samaria how to Be Saved:

John 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Jesus told the Woman of Samaria if she had ASKED Him, He would have Given Her Eternal Life.

Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

If ANY PERSON Asks Jesus to Save them Believing he will Save them, Jesus will answer their prayer and he Will Save them immediately.

The Thief on the Cross did not get Baptized. Because Baptism is not a requirement for Salvation.

The Thief on the Cross did not Repent of his Sins. Repent of Sins is not Found anywhere in the Bible.

The Thief on the Cross did ONLY ONE THING:

He Believed On Jesus to Be Saved. He Believed The Gospel. Jesus Answered Him Immediately. The Thief on the Cross was Immediately Saved when He had Believed on Jesus and Asked Jesus to Save Him.

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Do Not Believe Liars that Say the Thief on the Cross was Saved Differently than anyone else.

The Bible Does Not Say that the Thief on the Cross was Saved Differently than Anyone Else.

Do Not Believe:

That You have to Be Baptized to Be Saved, You have to Live a Sinless Life to be Saved, You have to Surrender Your Life to Jesus to Be Saved, You have to Give Your Life to Jesus to Jesus to Be Saved, You have to Repent of Sin to Be Saved, the Bible Doesn’t Teach this Anywhere. The Thief on the Cross did not have to do any of this to Be Saved.

The Thief on the Cross was Saved by Simply Believing on Jesus Only to Save him. He Believed the Gospel.

Repent of Sins is an Invention of the Baptists. (Today Every False “Christian” Church teaches that you have to Repent of Your Sins to be Saved. All Denominations have Adopted this FALSE GOSPEL.) They also say to Turn from your Sins. Charles Spurgeon, Billy Sunday, Billy Graham and Every Major Evangelist for over 200 years has taught this False Gospel: “Repent of Your Sins to Be Saved.”

Repent of Sin is Not in the Bible.

Run Immediately Away from Any Church, any Pastor, any Evangelist, anyone that Tells You that the Thief on the Cross was Saved Differently than we are today. These People are LOST LIARS. They are in the Dispensationalist Cult that Teaches up to 20 different Plans of Salvation.

1st Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 5 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. 6 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things. 7 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service. 9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself. 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth. 12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

The Bible is Clear that the Only Way to Be Saved is By Believing the Gospel.

All False Teachers Deny that the Gospel is the Only Way to Heaven. They Add Works to the Gospel. Many Simply Just Deny the Gospel Completely. This is Why False Teachers Falsely Claim that the Thief on the Cross was Saved Differently than We are Saved.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

False Teachers Will Tell You that the Thief on the Cross was Saved Differently than we Are. Because the Thief on the Cross was Saved by Believing the Gospel Only. He Did Nothing Else But Simply Believe on Jesus to be Saved. He Believed the Gospel Only to Save Him.

“If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”

Anyone that Teaches Anything Other than The Gospel Only to Be Saved is an ACCURSED LOST LIAR!!!

Lying False Teachers Say that the Thief on the Cross was Saved Differently than we Are Today.

These Lying Unsaved Devils are in Nearly Every IFB, Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Church, and in many other Denominations. They Teach Many Different Plans of Salvation.

KJV Only IFB Churches are the Most EVIL VILE Churches in Existence.

Because they Lie about Nearly Everything.

Their 1st Lie is that they are Bible Believers. They are Not Bible Believers. They Base Everything They Teach and Believe Not on the KJV Bible. They Base it on the False Unbiblical man-made Teaching of Dispensationalism and on John Calvin.

Yes, this is the Basis of Almost Every KJV Only IFB Church.

Dispensationalism and John Calvin.

Dispensationalism Teaches as many as 20 different plans of Salvation. The Bible Teaches Only One Plan of Salvation in the Bible for Everyone that has Ever Lived. Dispensationalism is a man-made Lie.

The word DISPENSATION is in the King James Bible ONLY 4 times. All 4 instances are in the New Testament.

The Apostle Paul wrote the 3 books with these 4 occurrences. 1st Corinthians, Ephesians, and Colossians.

1st Corinthians 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

So, what does Dispensation mean in these 4 scriptures?

Think of the word DISPENSE. Dispense means to distribute, or to give out.

A candy dispenser gives out candy. A gumball machine is a dispenser of gumballs.

Dispense is the act of distribution or distributing something. To deal out. To give out. To grant something.

A soap dispenser gives out soap. Do you understand what the word dispensation means now?

It’s really that simple. The definition of the word dispensation is even explained right there in Colossians.

Paul says, “according to the dispensation of God which is GIVEN to me for you.”

Paul is telling us all about the GOSPEL and giving the Gospel to us just as God gave it to Him.

In other words, he is a DISPENSER of the Gospel. That’s what we’re supposed to be. DISPENSERS of the Gospel.

We are supposed to be DISPENSING the GOSPEL to as many people as we can so they might be saved.

We are supposed to be BRINGING or GIVING the GOSPEL to others. Do you see this?

False Churches, “Christians” They Lie and say that the Thief on the Cross was not Saved the Same Way We are Saved today.

Why? Because the Thief on the Cross Did Nothing to Be Saved. He Did Not Work for his Salvation. He Did Not Get Baptized. He Did Not Repent of his Sins. He Simply Asked Jesus to Save Him. He Believed On Jesus. He Believed the Gospel Only to Save Him.

Please Stop Believing “Christians” Who Say a Prayer will not Save anyone. The Bible Says you must Ask Jesus to Save you. Everything you Ask of Jesus is a Prayer.

Yes, it has become Popular for Pastor’s, “Christians” to Say there is no Salvation Prayer in the Bible. That God does not Hear the Prayer of the Lost…

They say Just Believe…. And that is it….

Why would they Stop A Person from coming to Jesus in Prayer and Asking Jesus to Save them…. Why?

Why?

They do not want to see people Saved that is Why. No Saved Person who knows the Bible would ever tell a person seeking Salvation to not Pray and Ask Jesus to Save them.

Jesus told the Samaritan woman she should have Asked.

Romans says: …to Call upon the Name of the Lord to Be Saved.

The Thief on the Cross Asked Jesus to Save him.

Obey the Bible not what any person says.

After the Thief on the Cross Asked Jesus to Save him Jesus replied:

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

So according to Jesus if you Ask him to Save You, he will Save you Immediately.

False Pastors / Evangelists Preach that Salvation is a Process. That a Person must do certain things to be Saved and they must understand specific Doctrines to be Saved.

NO! NO! NO! This is a LIE. Salvation is not a Process.

Salvation is Knowing You are a Sinner, that Deserves to Die for Your Sins. A Sinner that Deserves to Go to Hell for Eternity.

Salvation is Believing that Jesus Died, was Buried and he Rose again on the Third Day to Save you from the Penalty of All of Your Sins. Salvation is Simply Believing on Jesus and Asking Jesus to Save You from Hell.

The 7 Churches In The Book Of Revelation Explained.

Beware Dispensationalist Pervert The 7 Churches in the Book of Revelation. They Pervert Bible Prophecy. God Clearly Warns us not to Add to His Words.

It is almost impossible to Find a Book. A Church. An Evangelist. Christians that understand that the 7 Churches in the Book of Revelation were REAL CHURCHES. Dispensationalist False Theology has corrupted most Churches. Bible Prophecy has become a way to make Billions of dollars. False Teachers get rich selling their False Prophecy Doctrines.

Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

This is God Talking Directly to the people who invented Dispensationalist Theology.

God is talking to ALL Dispensationalists. They have ADDED Words to The Book of Revelation, Teachings that are not There. Why else would God have given this Warning? Dispensationalist Have Absolutely ADDED to the Book of Revelation.

This Warning should be enough for you. To not Follow Dispensationalism. To not Spread its False Teachings.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

God Warns Against ADDING or SUBTRATING from His’s Word.

Dispensationalist’s will throw out these verses. Because God is Directly talking to the Jewish people. Let me remind you. That you cannot just throw out Bible verses for any reason.

2nd Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Every Scripture that is about Not Adding To. Not Subtracting From God’s Word. That is about the Truth of God’s Word. Is Always Bible Doctrine for Everyone at any time in History. This should be Crystal Clear to Everyone who Claims to be a Christian.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Matthew 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

In Matthew 22. Jesus is talking to Sadducees. Jewish Religious Leaders.

Leaders who had the Authority over Jewish people who practiced Judaism. They taught the Scriptures. And devoted their Lives to reading and following the Scriptures. Jesus is calling them out for their IGNORANCE OF THE SCRIPTURES.

This applies to everyone who claims to be a Christian Pastor. An Evangelist. To Any man who is Teaching the Scriptures in an official capacity. They  all have a responsibility to know what they are talking about.

No, marriage in Heaven is an established Bible Truth. This is what Jesus is telling the Sadducees. The Counterfeit Christian Church gets this Wrong today too. They think there will be marriages in Heaven. Within the Resurrected Christian Church. Today’s Modern day Pharisees and Sadducees. 

To follow Dispensationalism after seeing how they ADD to the Bible. Is Asking for God’s Judgment against you.

There were Seven Real Churches that the Apostle John wrote to.

Dispensationalist, ignore that these were Seven Real Churches. They Pervert the Scriptures. Turning each letter written to a real Church into a period of time. That describes the Christian Church through Fictional Church Ages. 

The Letters to the Seven Churches in the Book of Revelation

Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

When you read the Bible. 

It is essential to know who the passage is being written to. Some Bible Doctrine is a Universal Truth that applies to everyone. Four examples are: God is One God in Three Persons. Jesus is God. There is only one True Gospel in the Bible. And God Hates Sin. Some Doctrine. Applies only to the People the Scripture was written to. If you cannot apply Doctrine from a passage to you. It will still have a spiritual application. The Bible tells us the true History of God’s dealing with mankind.

The Bible is full of prophecies. 

The Book of Revelation is a very prophetic book. No one understands completely everything written in it. People need to say I do not understand this passage instead of inventing False Doctrines. These people do not understand because they are Lost False Teachers.

It is important to teach only what the Bible says.

Too many Greedy Writers. Pastors. Preachers and Churches Pervert the Scriptures. They make Billions of dollars Writing Fiction Books. Making Movies. Building Churches etc.

There are prophetic passages in the Letters to the Seven Churches. I heard one Dispensationalist Pastor say. The existence of Seven Real Churches that had the same names as the Churches in Revelation, does not change the Truth of what Dispensationalist teach.

That is like saying. The 10 lost tribes of Israel are the United States of America. Something many Bible Perverters say. Dispensationalist have invented a False Church History. What Dispensationalist teach concerning the Seven Churches is mostly Fiction.

The Term Bible Believer Means Nothing. It is a Self-Righteous Term. It Does not Mean the person. The Church that uses this Term is Saved.  Most people who use this Term are Lost.

IFB Baptist Bible Believers claim the Bible is almost all literal facts. A History of Past, Present, and Future events. The Bible must be read literally. Unless a passage is clearly written as a Parable. As a clear illustration. Bible Believers do not teach the Bible this way though. They are huge Hypocrites. Their adding to the Bible and subtracting from the Bible goes against their own rules.

I have never seen any Church that Adds to the Bible and Subtracts from the Bible more than they do. They throw out whole books of the Bible. Using their Dispensationalist Theology that splits the Bible up. They will say that was written to people in a different Dispensation. So we can ignore those scriptures. Those scriptures do not apply to the Church Age Dispensation.

The Divisions they use, Dispensations, are not in the Bible. They are invented. Just like they have created Fictional Church Ages. That do not exist in the Bible. They are the worst Bible Perverters in the world.

Please understand when you read the Bible. The Bible is a Book of History. What is written in the Bible has happened. Or will happen in the future.

Beware of Dispensationalist False Doctrines. They teach that the letters to the Seven Real Churches in Asia Minor. (Modern day Turkey.) In Revelation 2 and 3 represent Seven Ages of Church History. Guess what this is not found in the Bible. It is made up.

The view that these Seven Churches. Represent Seven consecutive periods in the History of the Church. Has no basis in fact.

Simply put. The Bible does not say. Or even imply. That the letters to the Seven Churches. Is about Seven Future periods of Church History.

Nobody is able to accurately pinpoint. When each invented Age began and ended. Variations in the conclusions. And in charts of different expositors. Prove that there is no consensus among them.

Different suggestions. Have been put forward. Some expositors try to find ecclesiastical organizations. And movements in some of these stages. Thus trying to insert too much prophesy into it.  All attempts at this are speculative and subjective. There is no objective hermeneutical guideline in reaching their conclusions. Their speculations are not Biblical.

It is Heresy. To label and identify the Seven Churches as relating to specific Time Periods in History.

The Scriptures do not say. That the Seven Candlesticks are Seven Church Ages. It clearly says that the Candlesticks are Seven Real Churches. Churches that existed at that time.

John Walvoord, a respected prophetic scholar. Admits that, “The prophetic interpretation of the messages to the Seven Churches, to be sure, should not be pressed beyond bounds. As it is a deduction from the content. Not from the explicit statement of the passage.” (The Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter 52.)

J. Allen also admits. That, “sometimes prophetic interpretation can be pressed too far. And owe much to the imagination of the commentator.”

In support of the prophetic view. He writes, “To deny its existence. (In the book of Revelation.) Is to exclude a line of thought. That Christ meant to become clearer. As the age moves to its climax. His coming for the church.” (Revelation, 13:8.)

C. I. Scofield. Clarence Larkin. And numerous other Writers. Invented / invent things out of thin air about the Seven Churches. Fables you cannot find in the Bible anywhere.

Dispensationalist are “Bible Believers?” No They Are Liars. That Add To And Subtract from the Bible.

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 

The Seven Churches were REAL Churches. That existed at the time John wrote the Seven letters to them.

Each letter was a Specific Message to a Real Church. Some of these Churches. Had a closer relationship with Jesus than others. Jesus gave each one a short “report card.”

Ephesus:

“…thou hast left thy first love…”

They lost their first love for Jesus Christ. Which in turn affected the love they had for others.

Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Smyrna:

Was warned it was about to face persecution.

Revelation 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Pergamum:

Had fallen prey to a cult called the Nicolaitans. Heretics who taught that since their bodies were evil. Only what they did with their spirit counted. This led to sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to idols.

Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

Thyatira:

Had Jezebel a False Prophetess who was leading people astray.

Revelation 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Sardis:

Had the reputation of being dead, or asleep.

Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Some of the passages written to Sardis are not just Historical. They are talking about the Great Tribulation.

Verse 3 “… If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”

Verse 3 is difficult. It could be talking about about the Rapture of the Church or it could be talking about the Rapture that happens during the Great Tribulation.

Verse 5 “… I will not blot out his name out of the book of life…”

Right Now in the Christian Church. A person has Eternal Life and their name cannot be Blotted out of the Book of Life.

During the Great Tribulation. A person who was Left Behind can Believe on Jesus. And have their name written in the Book of Life. When people who went to Church see they have missed the Rapture. Some of them will Believe the Gospel. Even people who never went to Church but knew about the Rapture. Some of these people will also Believe the Gospel.

Any of these people. If they take the Mark of the Beast. Than their name will be Blotted out of the Book of Life.

In the Great Tribulation there is No Eternal Security. Because of the Mark of the Beast. Again, if a person who Believed the Gospel takes the Mark of the Beast. There name will be Blotted out of the Book of Life. Because they took The Mark of the Beast.

A person is Saved the Same way in the Great Tribulation. By Believing the Gospel only. As we are today. In fact, there is only one plan of Salvation in the Bible.

They do not have Eternal Security. Because at any time they can take the Mark of the Beast. It is not a Works Based Salvation. Because No Work they have Done will get them into Heaven. Not taking the Mark of the Beast is not a Work.

Taking the Mark of the Beast is Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. The only unforgivable Sin.

People who take the Mark of the Beast. Are Claiming Satan is the real Jesus Christ. Making Jesus Works the Works of Satan. Which is what Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is.

Philadelphia:

This Church had a little strength. And kept God’s word. They did not deny Jesus name.

Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Historical:

The Synagogue of Satan is mentioned twice in Revelation. Once in Jesus’ letter to the first-century church in Smyrna. And once to the church in Philadelphia. In both cases, the Synagogue of Satan is opposed to the mission and message of the Church.

To the church in Smyrna. Jesus says. “I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9).

To the church of Philadelphia in Asia Minor. Jesus says. “I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you” (Revelation 3:9).

In short. The Synagogue of Satan. Was a group of unbelieving Jews. Who were Persecuting Christians.

These groups were guilty of Slandering the church in Smyrna. And opposing the Church in Philadelphia.

The majority of the persecution the New Testament Church faced. Came from the Jewish community. Even most of the Roman persecution. Was an effort to appease the Jewish authorities.

This is true of Pilate’s condemnation of Jesus. (John 19:1–16.) And Paul’s imprisonment by the Roman governors Felix. (Acts 24:27.) And Festus. (Acts 25:16.) This pattern held true throughout the Roman world in the first century.

As long as Christians were considered a sect of Judaism. They were Safe from Roman persecution.

They were exempt. From the required observance. Of certain aspects of Roman state religion. However, as Christians were expelled from synagogues. And denounced by the Jewish leadership. Rome began to see Christianity as a new religion. That did not have these same exemptions. Therefore, Christians outside the protective umbrella of the synagogue. Were open to Roman persecution.

The Synagogue of Satan say they are Jews. (The people of God.) And they Persecute those who Believe in Jesus the Messiah. In reality, by rejecting Jesus The Jewish Messiah. They have renounced their status as “True” Jews. That is why Jesus calls them “liars.”

This distinction between ethnic Jews. And faithful Jews. Is also seen in Romans 9:6. (“Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.”) And Romans 2:28–29. (“For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter.”)

By their Persecution of the True people of God. These unbelieving Jews had become a Synagogue of Satan. A gathering of people who were actually following Satan’s wishes.

Laodicea:

Had Lukewarm Faith. Its members had grown complacent. Because of the riches of the city.

Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

The Laodicea Church Period. Is said to be happening Right Now.

At this Current time in Church History. I do not buy it. The Bible does not say this. Today’s Church is much, worse than the Laodicea Church was. Jesus questioned if there would be “ANY FAITH” on the earth. When he returned. Talking about the Rapture of the Church.

The Laodicea Church was Lukewarm. Not Ice Cold. Like the Church is today. Today people get Saved. Go to a Church that does not preach the Bible. And live like the devil the rest of the week.

Luke 18:8 “I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”

Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

This famous verse is not talking about Jesus knocking on the door of the Lost. Jesus is knocking on the door of the Laodicea Church. Because they are so far from him. That he is knocking on their doors saying. “Hey let me into your Church.” “I want to fellowship with you.”

Dispensationalist reject that these Letters were written to the real Churches in Asia Minor.

They Invent, ADD to the Bible, their own Fables about these Seven Real Churches.

They say the message to the Church in Ephesus. Is really to the Church Period at the end of the Apostolic age. Please show this to me in the Bible. Where is that in the Bible? FYI it is not in the Bible.

The letter to the Church in Smyrna. Represents the “Period of the great persecutions to A.D. 316.” Where is this in the Bible? It is not in the Bible.

The letter to the Church in Pergamos. Represents “The church under imperial favour. Settled in the world, A.D. 316 to the end.” Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to Church in Thyatira. Represents “A.D. 500-1500. The triumph of Balaamism and Nicolaitanism. A believing remnant (vs. 24-28.)” Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to Church in Sardis. Represents “The period of the Reformations. A believing remnant (vs. 4, 5.)” Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to the Church in Philadelphia. Represents “The true church. The church that preaches the Gospel.” The Church period right before the church becomes Lukewarm. Where is this in the Bible?

The letter to Church in Laodicea. Represents the final state of Apostasy in the church. The current Church Age we are now living in. Where is this in the Bible?

This Heresy is not found in the Word of God. It is complete Fiction written by men not by God.

These Seven Letters to the Seven Churches are exactly that. The churches were named. “1 The church at Ephesus.” “2 The church at Smyrna.” “3 The church at Pergamos.” “4 The church at Thyatira.” “5 The church at Sardis.” “6 The church at Philadelphia.” And “7 The church at Laodicea.”

These Seven Churches had problems like all churches do. The Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle John to write letters to these churches. To help the churches get straightened out. Would somebody please show me in the Bible. Where these Seven Letters represent The Seven Invented Church Ages. Of Church History Claimed by Dispensationalist?

Please Ask Jesus to Save You. If you have not already. Believe the Gospel Only To Be Saved.

1st Corinthians 15:1 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:

Explaining Dispensationalism.

Is Dispensationalism in the Bible? Did Jesus, Peter, Paul, or John Teach Dispensationalism?

No Dispensationalism is not taught in the Bible. It is a man-made False Teaching. You have to Study Your Bible to Make Sure You are Not being Taught False Doctrines.

Hebrews 4:12 “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.”

The Bible not any Pastor, not any Church is where the Christian Faith comes from. Dispensationalism is Not in the Bible.

Get out of Churches that are teaching things that do not line up with what the Bible says. Leave right in the middle of the Church service. I have.

1st John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Verse 1) This is so Powerful. We are humans living in a universe filled with spirits. There are devils among us, fallen angels. They are unclean spirits.

Churches are Full of people Possessed with or Influenced by Unclean Spirits, Including False Pastors, Teachers and Evangelist, this is where False Teachings like Dispensationalism came from:

When you are in Church you have to contend with evil spirits. The WARNING: TRY THE SPIRITS WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD… IS A SERIOUS WARNING WE NEED TO HEED. SOME CHURCHES ARE LOST WITH A SATANIC PASTOR WHO HAS AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT IN HIM. HE IS ONE OF THE FALSE PROPHETS THIS VERSE IS TALKING ABOUT.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Verse 6) The spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Right here we are told to know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. The verse is saying “know we.” That Christians by virtue of being Saved know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Do not doubt your feelings, they are given to you by God.

I have walked into Churches with an Evil spirit in them. I have talked with Pastor’s who were Lost. They had an Evil spirit I could sense. I flatly told a Pastor that he was Lost. By the way he looked at me with Hate I had a strong belief he was full of devils.

Trust God and reject all the contradictions Pastors teach like Dispensationalism.

When you hear things that do not add up, reject them. Ask God to open up the Bible to you so you can learn the Truth. Any Saved person reading the Bible and seeking the Truth will be shown the Truth of the entire Bible by the Holy Ghost of God.

Dispensationalism is not in the Bible.

Like all cults, Dispensationalists hide the fact that they are Dispensationalists, who believe and teach Calvinist Doctrines. They prey on ignorant people. Some of these Churches use the term Reformed instead of Calvinists to hide that they are Calvinists.

Awhile ago people woke up to the Fact Calvinism is a man-made Religion with very radical teachings. Because people were becoming aware that Calvinism is a Cult, Churches dropped Calvinism from their public profile. And started saying Reformed. All Reformed Churches teach Calvinism.

After new converts are well involved in their Church they will be taught their Dispensationalist beliefs. Before then they will just say. You are too new to our Church to be able to understand Dispensationalism. In time you will learn it. They seduce people slowly into their Heresies.

Beware of IFB Churches. Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Churches. Almost all teach Dispensationalism.

They are by far the Worst. Because they are the Biggest Hypocrites. They claim to be “Bible Believers” (A Note the Term: Bible Believer is a very Arrogant Term. It means, I believe the Bible and you do not. Only my Church Believes the Bible.)

They, in fact, do not Believe the Bible. The people in these Churches hold to the teachings of their Pastor’s their Leaders over what the Bible says.

“You cannot Believe the Gospel only to Save you.” I was told by an IFB Pastor. “Believing the Gospel is not how a person is Saved,” he said to me. His excuse for saying this was: “There is no Repentance in the Gospel. The Bible teaches you have to Repent of Your Sins to Be Saved.” Salvation cannot happen by Believing the Gospel only.

They are intentionally Rude. Yes, they think it is Manly to be Angry, Mean Spirited in their Sermons, in their Conversations. 

“I can sense you do not like what I am saying. Go on get out of here all of you who cannot handle tough preaching. I will not water-down my preaching for all of you effeminate girly men. You weak hearted women.”

The go to insult I have discovered by IFB Preachers is to insult men’s sexuality, their manhood. If a man is offended by the Pastor’s Harsh language, his swearing (Oh, yes they do Swear from the pulpit.) he will say something like this: “Go ahead get out of here. We have enough women in this Church already! Get out now! Yes! I am staring right at you! I can see you wincing at my Preaching! Get out now and never come back!”

This type of stuff does happen frequently. I have sat through too many Nasty Sermons from Non Saved Pastors.

I have heard a Pastor like this say he once cleared out over half the Church with his Preaching. That it was Good Riddance. He wanted to have a Church with strong people. Not weak kneed people.

If you hear a Pastor bragging like this about his Tough Preaching. Who is Swearing at, and Insulting the Congergation. Speaking to them with slanderous words. Leave and do not come back. This is not spiritual and being a good Preacher. It is most likely a Lost Demon filled person.

Pastors Twist the Scriptures to give them an Excuse for their Harsh Words in Sermons: Jesus Swore. Yes He Was Very Harsh to People who he was Preaching to.

This is just plain lying. Jesus was never harsh in his Teaching and Preaching in his Conversations with his followers. Jesus was only Harsh with False Teachers and the Jewish Religious Leaders. He called out the Pharisee’s and Sadducee’s with colorful words, who were only there to find fault with him.

Being a Loud Mouthed Rude Swearing Pastor is the calling card of many popular IFB Pastor’s. Who loved it when Peter S. Ruckman was alive being rude to everyone in earshot. Ruckman would laugh. “Wow, it is dead in here. I can see that you cannot handle tough preaching. You do not like my colorful words. I do not care one little bit if I upset and offend every person in here. Everyone could walk out right now and I would be OK with it. In fact I think I would have really accomplished something today if I did clear you all out…”

Ruckman enjoyed how much he offended people during his Sermons.

He would have people thrown out of services who were wincing, reacting to his Sermons in a negative way. Far be it for him to see honest reactions to his harsh words. “Pastor, do you have ushers, some men that could remove that man right there from this Church. I have repeatedly asked him to leave. He is disturbing me with contorted facial reactions.”

Pastors who treat Congergations like this get loud Amen’s from Devil filled men in the Crowd. Yes I do 100% believe Churches have an Amen section of Devils that are Lost and filled with unclean spirits. Their constant Amen’s at every other word the Pastor is saying is not godly. It is in my opinion Devil’s praising the Satanic Preacher.

They are often combative and dismissive of people who ask them questions they cannot answer.

Dispensationalism is a Non-Christian Cult. Pushed today by Cult Leaders Robert Breaker and Dr. Gene Kim on You Tube. They were taught by Peter S. Ruckman.

Ruckman was their Cult Leader, he died in 2016. He was the prototypical Cult Leader. He ridiculed everyone who had the gull to call him out for his Cult. He made Black Lists of people, of Churches. Who crossed him. Or had the courage to speak against him to Call Him Out for his False Teachings. For the way he ran his ministries, his Church. He published some of these lists, over and over again in his books.

People who Ruckman worked with. Church members of his, were made examples of for simply disagreeing with him. Ruckman told everyone to shun them to never speak with them again.

All Ruckman Churches Blacklist, Shun former members.

“Mr. Jones, and his family are no longer welcomed at this Church. Do not associate with them. If you do you will not be welcomed here either.” This would be followed by calling them out as Heretics.

I saw a Ruckman Pastor humiliate his only Deacon for secretly owning and watching a TV. He and his family were labeled Heretics and kicked out of the Church. The person who reported this was befriended by this family. They gave him a real home to call his own. They fed him home cooked meals, were his friends.

IFB Churches use Fear and Brain Wash their Congergations into Believing Their False Doctrines.

This is what Hitler did with his people. “Kids report everyone, including your Parents for breaking rules.” The Pastor hailed this ungrateful SPY as an example of what he expects from everyone in his Church. A Church filled with Fear. The congregation became more distant and cold to one another.

Ruckman fought with everyone. He is responsible for several Church splits. He loved the name given to his followers by his critics: Ruckmanite. He used it as if he himself had coined the term. He even called himself a Ruckmanite.

Peter S. Ruckman was Happy, Extremely Excited that he had risen to the status of Cult Leader.

He would go on long rants in his Sermons, in his Books, in his literature about his Cult Leader Status. He’d repeat Ruckmanite! Ruckmanite! Ruckmanite! That is what they call you. Be proud of it. It is a complement.

His Cult followers would shout “Ruckmanite!” back at him. Or at the “Pastor” of another Ruckman Church to show their allegiance.

If you do not agree that Churches that teach Dispensationalism are Counterfeit Christian Cults. You need to see what the Dictionary definition of a Cult is.

Britannica Dictionary definition of CULT- 1) A small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous a satanic cult. 2) A situation in which people admire and care about something or someone very much or too much: He criticizes the way journalists promote the cult of celebrity in modern America. [=the tendency of people to care too much about famous people] a cult of personality = a personality cult. 3) A small group of very devoted supporters or fans

All Ruckman Churches are Cults. All Dispensational Churches are Cults.

Ruckmanites All were / are a bunch of brain washed Cultist. They only know what Ruckman taught and what the few people he recommended taught. They do not study the Bible for themselves. It is obvious if you talk with them. They are blind followers following blind leaders.  

Like the major Cults Ruckman started his own School. His classes were mostly taught from books he wrote. Cults control everything about your lives, all the information you see.

They keep people in line, in the Cult by Fear. Fear of being belittled. Fear of loosing all of their friends. Fear of loosing their status in the Church. They Fear leaving the Church would show everyone they were never Saved. People who leave or get kicked out of the Church are often said to have been Lost Wolves.

Robert Breaker and Dr. Gene Kim (Plus hundreds of others False Teachers. Disciples of Ruckman.) are riding Ruckman’s coat tails.

In no way are they the only people who teach Dispensationalism, today. They are just the most vocal. Part of the Independent Fundamental Baptist, IFB, Cult secret Reformed Calvinists.

IFB Baptist Churches are not all Dispensational Calvinists Cults. Some are Saved Churches teaching the Truth. I know of many that are trying to separate themselves from the IFB Cult Churches.

Do Not Trust Your Christian Faith with Cultist.

Dispensationalism is a man made Lie. Beware they twist the Scriptures. Like all Cults they throw out Scriptures that do not support their beliefs.

Instructions for Pastor’s.

2nd Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Verse 2 Preach the Word!!! This means to Preach the whole Bible not just some of the Books Paul wrote. It means to not add a false spin to what the Bible says. Like: “Repent, means to Repent of Sin.” Guess what Repent of Sin is not in the Bible.

The rest of the verse means to be Faithful, to always be doing your job as a Pastor, Evangelist, whatever your responsibility is. To encourage your flock. To teach correct Doctrine.

To Rebuke, Reprove people according to the Correct Doctrine. Meaning if you correct, discipline, people in the Church. Make sure you know what the correct Bible Teaching is concerning the Rebuke / Reproving you give. Do not incorrectly Rebuke people. You better be correct if you start to Rebuke people.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Verse 3 applies to all Cults. Hypocritically these Cults use this verse and verses like this one to point the finger back at the people who accuse them.

The way to distinguish the Truth from Lies is to analyze their teachings. If they do not match up with the Bible than you know that you are dealing with a Cult.

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The word DISPENSATION is in the King James Bible 4 times. All 4 instances are in the New Testament.

The Apostle Paul wrote the 3 books with these 4 occurrences. 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, and Colossians.

1st Corinthians 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

What does Dispensation mean in these 4 scriptures?

Think of the word DISPENSE. Dispense means to distribute, or to give out. A candy dispenser gives out candy. A gumball machine is a dispenser of gumballs.

Dispense is the act of distribution or distributing something. To deal out. To give out. To grant something. A soap dispenser gives out soap. Do you understand what the word dispensation means now?

The definition of the word Dispensation is explained in Colossians 1:25.

Paul says, “according to the dispensation of God which is GIVEN to me for you.”

Paul is telling us that God has charge him with Dispensing (Giving. To Distribute.) the Gospel to us. Just as God had given it to him.

Paul was a DISPENSER of the Gospel. That is what we are supposed to be. DISPENSERS of the Gospel.

We are supposed to be DISPENSING the GOSPEL to as many people as we can so they might be Saved. Every Christian has the God given responsibility to be Dispensers of the Gospel. To BRING, to GIVE the GOSPEL to others. 

Explaining what the 7 Dispensations are. And why this teaching is not Biblical. Why it leads people to Hell.

Dispensational Truth by Clarence Larkin. Has influenced countless people to Falsely Believe that God divided the Bible up into different Dispensations.

Other heavily followed people who wrote on Dispensationalism were: C.I. Scofield, John Nelson Darby and Dr. Peter S. Ruckman. People / Churches who follow them are Cults.

I am not saying that everyone who Believes and follows these people are Lost. (Many are lost because most of these people believe in the False Gospel of lordship salvation.)

Being Rude is not how Christians should Behave.

Dispensational Churches have a Very Arrogant and Hateful Attitude when they speak to people outside of their Cult. They know everything. You are just an ignorant flea to them. When you point out all their False Doctrines they cannot defend their teachings with the Bible.

They will tell you to read Clarence Larkin book Dispensational Truth, or Ruckman’s. If you are talking online they will send you a link to a nearly 2 hour YouTube Video of Ruckman teaching Dispensationalism. Or another similar video.

These books and videos do nothing to prove the Bible teaches Dispensationalism. They show confusing Charts, that are suppose to confirm Dispensationalism. What they do is twist the Scriptures. Adding commentary that is not in the Bible to explain their False Teachings.

Try to Have a Dispensationalist Explain to you what they Believe.

I doubt you will find one Pastor or Church member that can explain Dispensationalism to you. Without using a book that will explain it for them. They cannot take your Bible and show you Dispensationalism in it.

The only Division God made in the Bible is the Old Testament and the New Testament. It is important to understand what a Testament is.

Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

A Testament is God’s contract with Mankind on how he is dealing with man in regard to Mankind’s Salvation.

God gave Israel the Law in the Old Testament. The Testator of the Old Testament were animal blood sacrifices. Sheep, Goats and Bulls typically.

The New Testament Testator was Jesus. Jesus Blood Atonement for the Sins of the World, began the New Testament.

In the New Testament Salvation is defined as the Gospel:

1st Corinthians 15:1 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:

A person is Saved by Believing in Jesus as the only way to Heaven. Believing that Jesus Death, Burial and Resurrection is the only possible payment for your Sins.

Were Old Testament believers saved by Jesus too?

Yes. Jesus’ Death, Burial and Resurrection gives Eternal Salvation for all Believers. Whether they lived before or after him.

In both the Old and New Testament Everyone is Saved By Grace, through Faith.

The Law was given to Show all Mankind that no one could keep the Law. The Law showed us that we were Sinners in need of a Saviour.

The death of animals were the Testator of the Old Testament to show that Sin required a Blood Sacrifice.

Believers in the Old Testament were not Saved by being obedient to the law of God. The Bible clearly teaches this:

Romans 3:20 “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”

We are not good enough to earn Heaven. That is true for us now, and it was also true for believers in the Old Testament.

Old Testament Believers were not Saved by animal sacrifices:

Hebrews 10:4 “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”

The Old Testament animal sacrifices pointed towards the One Sacrifice that Jesus would make on the Cross to bring Eternal Salvation.

Like New Testament Believers, Old Testament Believers were Justified by Grace through Faith.

Abraham:

Genesis 15:6 “And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”

Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

You must understand that there is only One True Gospel. The Bible in Galatians 3 said that God preached the Gospel to Abraham.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Dispensationalism’s biggest Lie is there are many different True Gospel’s that Save. Yes, they believe there are many different ways for people to be Saved.

They teach multiple plans of Salvation / multiple Gospel’s. When the Bible clearly says there is only one True Gospel / only one plan of Salvation for all of humanity.

Abraham was not Saved by Works. No one in the Bible is Saved by Works. Abraham, Plus you and I, Everyone in History, that has been and will be Saved are, Saved by Faith in Jesus without works.

The Seven Dispensations given by most Dispensationalist are:

1) Innocence – Adam under probation prior to the Fall. Ends with expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Some refer to this period as the Adamic period or the dispensation of the Adamic covenant or Adamic law.

2) Conscience – From the Fall to the Great Flood. Ends with the worldwide deluge.

3) Human Government – After the Great Flood, humanity is responsible to enact the death penalty and ends with the dispersion at the Tower of Babel. Some use the term Noahide law in reference to this period of dispensation.

4) Promise – From Abraham to Moses. Ends with the refusal to enter Canaan and the 40 years of unbelief in the wilderness. Some use the terms Abrahamic law or Abrahamic covenant in reference to this period of dispensation.

5)Law – From Moses to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Ends with the scattering of Israel in AD70. Some use the term Mosaic law in reference to this period of dispensation.

6) Grace – From the cross to the rapture of the church. The rapture is followed by the wrath of God constituting the Great Tribulation. Some use the term Age of Grace or the Church Age for this dispensation.

7) Millennial Kingdom – A 1000 year reign of The Lord Jesus Christ on earth centered in Jerusalem, ending with God’s judgment on the final rebellion.

God did not make these divisions, they are man made.

You will not find these divisions spoken about by anyone in the Bible. Moses did not Teach Dispensationalism. No one in the Old or in the New Testament spoke of these divisions.

Jesus never referred to the Dispensation of Innocence, of Human Government etc… in any of his Sermons, or in any of his many teachings. Jesus did refer to the Old Testament Scriptures often without ever mentioning anything Dispensationalist teach.

None of Jesus Disciples taught Dispensationalism. You will not find anyone in the Bible teaching Dispensationalism. So why would you believe this man-made teaching?

Rightly Dividing The Bible does not mean to Divide the Bible anyway you choose to.

It means to understand some Bible passages are Covenants to the Nation of Israel. Those passages are not Bible Doctrine for the Christian Church. To obey the Law was an instruction to the Nation of Israel. Obeying the Law was never a requirement for Eternal Life. Obeying the Law would Bless Jews and the Nation of Israel in their Earthly Life it was not required for Salvation.

Rightly Dividing the Bible will keep people from teaching False Doctrines like Replacement Theology.

Christians need to understand that everything in the Bible was not written with the Church in mind. The Church does not replace the Nation of Israel for example.

Some Scriptures in the Bible are talking about Angels, Satan, the Supernatural Spiritual realm. You cannot apply any of these Scriptures to Christians when the focus is on Spiritual Beings not Christians. For example when the Bible says:

James 2:19 “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”

James 2:19 is not saying that Jesus will Save Devils. It is not saying that the Bible was written for Spiritual Beings. It does not mean that Jesus died for Spiritual Beings like Devils. Jesus died for mankind only.

False Teachers use James 2:19 to teach that Believing in Jesus only to be Saved is not enough. You can tell them correctly that they are not Rightly Dividing the Scriptures. That James 2:19 is not a Salvation passage, Jesus died for mankind not for Spiritual Beings.

Beware False Doctrines were put into your Study Bible by False Teachers.

Numerous Study Bible’s add cross-references and notes that falsely teach Dispensationalism and many other False Doctrines. The cross-references in Bibles are not from God.

Do not base your Christian Faith on the notes and cross-references in Study Bibles.

Let’s look at each False UnBiblical man-made Dispensation:

1 Innocence: Were Adam and Eve under a probation period? No. Adam and Eve were given the opportunity to Love God freely. God gave Adam and Eve a Free Will the ability to Accept or to Reject God / Jesus.

That is exactly how it is today. Everyone can either use their Free Will to Accept Jesus Free Gift of Salvation or to Reject Jesus. Adam and Eve Rejected God. Creating the need for Jesus to offer himself as a living sacrifice for the Sins of all Mankind.

2 Conscience: Seriously? Everyone from Adam to the Last person to be born is under Conscience.

The definition of Conscience:

1a: the sense of the moral goodness or blameworthiness of one’s own conduct, intentions, or character together with a feeling of obligation to do right or to be good. “She had a guilty conscience.”

When Adam’s and Eve’s eyes were opened their Consciences were immediately activated. The forbidden Fruit was the Fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil. Which is the dictionary definition of Conscience.

Genesis 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

3) Human Government: They associate the Tower of Babel with Human Government. That is really making things up. There were many other Cities with Human Government before the tower of Babel was built in Genesis Chapter 11.

Genesis 4:17 “And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.”

God did not scatter humanity because of Human Government. God scattered humanity because they were all acting together as one. Not because they built another City.

Genesis 11:6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

4) Promise (Covenant): We covered most of this already. Abraham was Saved by his Faith. Abraham is the Father of the Covenant of Faith. God made Covenants / Promises with Abraham and his decedents the Jewish Nation of Israel. Many of which will happen in the future. These are not transferable to any other Nation or people’s.

5) Law: Again the Law was given to prove that Works can never Save anyone. The Law was never a Gospel. The Gospel of the Law for example. A way for people to be Saved.

6) Grace: Grace is from Genesis to Revelation. It is by God’s Grace that people are able and allowed to Live. Without God’s Grace. God would have killed Adam and Eve for rejecting him for the knowledge of Good and Evil.

Noah would not have found God’s Grace. The Flood would have killed everyone on the Earth. From the beginning to the end of the Bible we see God’s Grace. His mercy given to people. God showed Lot Grace. God could have killed Lot with the People of the plains who he destroyed with Fire and Brimstone.

God could have wiped mankind out beginning with Adam and Eve’s Sin and continuing through to the end of the Bible. God never had an obligation to Save anyone. Salvation is God’s Mercy, his Grace.

7) Millennial Kingdom: The Bible does not call the Millennium a Dispensation. The Millennial Kingdom will happen and is written about in many different books of the Bible. It will be a 1,000 year period of time.

God does not divide the Bible into Ages or Dispensations. God’s division is The Old Testament and the New Testament.

The Dispensationalist’s do not mention Eternity as one of the Dispensations Why not? It is the rest of time after the Millennium.

In conclusion God’s promises:

The content of the Faith of Old Testament Believers has two aspects:

1) Trusting in the God who created the Heavens and the Earth.

2) Living according to God’s commandments. Always trusting in God’s promises.

The most important of God’s promises was the promise of the Messiah.

Many prophecies in the Old Testament pointed towards the Messiah. There certainly was a joyful expectation of God’s Salvation through the Messiah, a prophetic understanding of it. Jesus said to the Jews:

John 8:56 “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.”

Hebrews 9:15 “And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.”

Hebrews 9:15 proves that there is no difference in how people were Saved in the Old Testament and in the New.

1st John 2:2 “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

The whole world means for every person that ever lived. Please do not Trust everything you hear, everything you read outside of the Bible.

The Bible is our Final Authority not the Fables of men.

Beware of False Teachers. Of Churches that add words to the Bible. They invent things that are not Biblical.

Of course, the most important question is have you been Saved by Jesus? Please put your trust in Jesus right now.

Please ask Jesus to Save you.
