Dispensationalism

  • Dispensationalism takes it’s name from the idea that God deals with different groups of people in different ways or dispensations. When the Rapture comes God will take up the Christian Church. All of those who have come to Christ from the Birth of Christ to the moment of the Rapture will be taken up and then God will deal with the salvation of the Jews.

  • I have come to the conclusion that Dispensationalism is firmly rooted in a misunderstanding of the nature of nation of Israel.

Dobson, Dr. James.

Door Fellowship Church

  • Wayne Holcombe is the Pastor of The Door Fellowship Church.

  • The Door Fellowship, 470 Pine St., Williamsport. 18509

  • I recently had the chance to visit the Door again and I was really moved by the deep deep love of God in that building. Pastor Wayne was traveling but his sons did a great job.

To Understand my faith better I have decided to construct these pages. They are strictly educational, non-commercial and to foster scholarly discussion. All Bible quotes are from the King James Version unless otherwise stated. I use the KJV because while not a perfect translation it is literal and out of Copyright. All mistakes are my own and if you differ from my thoughts I welcome your comments. J. Barry O'Connell Jr.
