Dispensationalism Forum Statement of Purpose
Please see the Statement of Purpose for the General Theology forums.
This forum is for discussing and debating the theological topic of Dispensationalism. Dispensationalism is a doctrine or system of interpretation that teaches that biblical history is best understood in light of a number of successive administrations of God's dealings with mankind, which it calls "dispensations", which God progressively reveals to accomplish His plan. All members who participate in the Dispensationalism forum are self-identified Christians through adherence to the Christian Forums' Statement of Faith and the Trinitarian nature of God. It is expected that people who post in this forum will respect all members of the Christian faith.
Some key beliefs of dispensationalism include:
There are several thread tags available for members to use if they would like to discuss aspects of Dispensationalism with other Dispensationalists and not be derailed into a Dispensationalism vs Non-Dispensationalism debate.
The thread tags are:
Dispensationalist Only
Classical Dispensationalists Only - the church starts at Pentecost
Mid-Actis Dispensationalists Only - the Church starts in Acts 9 with the salvation of Saul of Tarsus or Acts 13 with Paul's first missionary trip
Acts 28 Dispensationalists Only - the church starts at Acts 28:28
If there isn't a thread tag, then non-Dispensationalists may also participate in the thread.

Some key beliefs of dispensationalism include:
- There is a distinction between God's plan for Israel and His plan for the New Testament Church
- The start of the Church depends on interpretation and various dispensationalists will see it as beginning on Pentecost, mid-Acts or Acts 28.
- Progressive revelation of God's plan revealed in the covenants He makes with man.
- Premillenialism - there will be a future millennial reign of Christ
