Approximately 20 years ago when the Lordship Salvation controversy was raging, John MacArthur referred to himself as a “leaky dispensationalist.” It seems that this was largely in response to allegations by dispensationalists that he was in danger of abandoning dispensationalism in favor of Reformed theology. The accusation went beyond an affirmation by MacArthur of all [...]

Norman F. Douty on Amillennial Hermeneutics
Posted in Amillennialism, eschatology, Historic Premillennialism, Norman F. Douty on November 19, 2011 | 9 Comments »
One reason why I don’t blog more regularly is that I haven’t committed to doing so on a regular schedule. In addition, as I’m sure many bloggers have found, coming up with original posts of substance on a regular basis is also rather time consuming. (While he is certainly much better read and educated than [...]

Master’s Seminary Professor Michael Vlach is now blogging. Thus far he has 20 posts on the NT use of the OT, from what is perhaps best classified as a Progressive Dispensational point of view. I’m still working through some of these issues (albeit very slowly of late) but I always find Dr. Vlach’s writing to [...]

About a year or so ago, a group calling itself the Nicene Council (made up largely of partial preterists) issued a statement under the name The Ninety-Five Theses Against Dispensationalism. While their aim is true in some cases, overall the statement merely reiterates the myths and misunderstandings about dispensationalism that Dr. Michael Vlach dispelled in [...]

Note: The following is an edit of a comment I left on SBC Impact, and to some degree it still reflects that context. Rather than see it buried in an old thread, I thought it best to post the main points here. Too often with discussions in which eschatology is the subject, opposing views are [...]

Michael J. Vlach. Dispensationalism: Essential Beliefs and Common Myths. Los Angeles: Theological Studies Press, 2008. $8.45 In my opinion, this 73 page book by Dr. Michael Vlach of the Masters Seminary is an excellent resource. The book consists of four parts.
