Dispensational Truth

2 Timothy 2
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

This passage is the basis of and also may be a symbol of Dispensationalism. That being said....

I don't know how it happened. I'm sure it was God's will. But, over a period of years, maybe ten, I came to have a Dispensational view of the Bible. I came to read most passages of the Bible literally.  I came to see God's plan, His grace and His promise, provided separately to the Hebrews and to the gentiles. And, I am waiting, patiently and prayerfully, for Jesus' return. From the day I read Scofield's short book, "Rightly Dividing The Word of truth," I had no doubt that I had found my answers for a fruitful, fulfilling Christian life.

And finally, for most of my life, I have considered myself a Baptist. Many Baptists hold Dispensational views. Then again, many do not.
