Yes, sorry John 10:16 is what I meant....Thanks Dispy, was thinking in that direction as well. We went over this verse Sunday and it was preached from the viewpoint that the "sheep not of this fold" as gentiles. I was trying to look read it from a Mid-Acts viewpoint but wanted to be sure.

I agree that it isn't responsible Theology when no other view was given genuine consideration. Case in point is why I am here trying to understand certain aspects of Dispensationalism and why I also read works by other theologians of the CT, PD, and NCT flavor. I also believe in testing...

OK, thanks for clarifying! The article you posted above was very helpful as well! I am reading some of L.S. Chafer right now, trying to get some clarification on a few things. A lot in my library is dispensational by nature but I do not think I had connected the dots until I set out to...

So, in accordance with God's plan the Church is destined for heaven while Israel is destined for the earthly kingdom?
