What is Mid Acts Pauline Dispensational…

[@maxhay9911]

8 years later and this video is still edifying me. Returning to it after a particularly nasty exchange on the internet where I was called a wicked heretic. Coming here for comfort and a refreshing on true Bible teaching. Thank you Justin and Grace Ambassadors for your continued ministry. Your faithfulness, study and workmanship are carrying a blessing further than you may know. Love in Christ from a Christian in New Zealand 💛🕊

Excellent teachings. I wish I learned right division early on, all confusion was dispelled as soon as I got it, and I haven't looked back either. Better late than never. :)

[@ClinToneCust23]

I was saved at 9 years old when an independent baptist minister came to our home and gave us a bible study. For the next 32 years i learned and studied Independent Baptist Doctrine (Even taught, was licensed and ordained by members of like minded churches) Yet in my search for the truth had many many questions.. The one thing that led me to Mid-Acts Pauline Dispensationalism was what others taught. I was saved by trusting in the Death Burial and Resurrection of Christ (the Gospel) but it seemed that other baptists added things like repentance, prayer, and lordship. I found grace ambassadors and others who taught salvation correctly but i thought they were wrongly interpreting dispensation teaching.. I finally realized that if they were the only ones i could find who have salvation correct maybe i should listen to what they have to say. I have had to completely restudy the scriptures but have found more truth than i did before.. Grace Ambassadors and mid-acts Pauline dispensationalism have definitely helped me determine the truth of scripture and I believe have been used by God in my pursuit of THE TRUTH.

[@BrotherRyan]

I am 27 and just recently seen all the modern rudiments and traditions of Independent Baptist Churches and their magnifying water baptism rather than the one baptism of The Spirit by grace through faith in the gospel and Jesus blood on the cross, and one that I go to in particular is not rightly dividing as they apply context for Jews to the Church, and they are saved.. But give the Lords prayer rather than the gospel of 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4. i have had a lot of red flags in a few months. Thank you for your testimony regarding finding this information. It was in my suggested KZbin so I checked it out, and have been praying for revelation on this topic and God is showing me and my older brother this. Problem is it is such a minority I don't have a mid-acts dispensational church where I live, but still going to keep seeking and using online ministry to study and keep reading on my own by Gods living word, in Spirit and truth, rightly dividing the word of truth, using discernment. Praise God! God bless you brother!

[@harvestworkers626]

@Clinton Callaway ... think about this for a second, brother. Is there really such a thing as Grace Ambassadors or mid-acts dispensationalists, etc.? Are not both of these groups just two more of the many thousands of other denominations out there? What is a denomination? It's basically nothing more than a division of Christ's body. Here's what Scripture shows us. According to 1 Cor. 10:32, God has only three people groups in earth today. An individual is either a Jew, or a Gentile, or a member of the Church of God. That's it. There aren't any other groups to classify individuals under. Please know that neither a Jew, nor a Gentile, believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. The only people to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ are members of the Church, the body of Jesus Christ, and these members were at one time either Jews or Gentiles. Once a Jew or a Gentile believes on the Lord Jesus Christ, they are no longer a Jew or Gentile, but a new creature in Christ. 2 Cor 5:17 God bless!

[@ThePreparedNorseman]

After studying the bible, I had come to a conclusion close to equal to mid acts pauline dispensationalism, not knowing there existed such a thing. After spending a lot of time with my buddy Google, searching and searching for a "direction" within Christianity that had the same view of things. And then, I found the "Grace movement" and that led me to the mid acts pauline dispensationalists. It's nice to know that there are like minded people out there, sadly i do not think there is much talk about this view over here in europe/scandinavia. Just wanted to share that!

[@jafojafo5412]

Nobody argues that simply read the book of Revelation. But the Gospel of the Kingdom was given only to Israel. Even Jesus said that Himself … He came only to save the House of Israel. This is why Jesus called the Apostle Paul and revealed to Him the Gospel of Grace. Which is totally different than the Gospel of the Kingdom. Simply look at what Peter preached on Pentecost … it focused on WHO Jesus was and WHAT they needed to do. It is totally different than what Jesus revealed to Paul as the gospel of Grace read 1 Cor 15: 1-4. It’s all about believing and accepting WHAT Jesus did. A totally different message.

[@Saratogan]

Harry Ironside was not a Baptist minister. For a time he was pastor of Moody Church (nondenominational) but for the majority of his life he was Plymouth Brethren from whom dispensationalism comes.

[@mlayton1904]

I thought dispensationalism came from the bible, Jesus gave it to Paul. Paul said; Ephesians 3:2 KJV - If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: Colossians 1:25 KJV - Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 1 Corinthians 9:17 KJV - For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. Ephesians 1:10 KJV - That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: So Ironside was the founder in gentile America 2000 years after it was revealed? Interesting perspective.

[@Saratogan]

@@mlayton1904 You do know what dispensation in the Greek means, right? Dispensation is οἰκονομία which literally means economy or administration of a household. Every traditional homemaker is therefore a dispensationalist. 😄 BTW, Since the time of Augustine, the "church" has mostly been postmillennial or amillennial. The dispensational structure of time or the οἰκονομία of God's household was a doctrine recovered by a small group of Christians in the 1830s who saw it essential to support their eschatalogical doctrine of a literal premillennial return of Christ to complete the final οἰκονομία of God's household in time -- the οἰκονομία or administration of God's houshold under the literal Kingship of Jesus Christ for 1,000 literal years.

@@mlayton1904 huh? Of course it is. I was just humoring you with the etymology of the word that we translate as dispensation. Do you not enjoy studying in the original? I thought that my second paragraph was very Biblical. Ephesians 1:10 is very dear to me in my understanding of the Divine plan.

[@bugsocsollie1694]

By the Grace of God Paul preach and so did "they," but they didn't preach "the Grace of God" (I mean they did, but that isn't what he is referring to here to the Corinthians), they Preached Christ and that He rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:12), and the reason he is even bringing it up to the Corinthians is because some of them do not believe in resurrection. They are carnal (1 Corinthians 3:1-2) and can not handle the meat of the Gospel but can only take in the milk of the Gospel. He is telling them that it's time to grow up (in their faith, and understanding of Christ and spiritual things).

[@DrGeorgeAntonios]

You defined what it isn't, but not what it is. Is there a video where you define what it is? Thanks.

[@breese50]

I think it’s anything mystery - anything revealed to Paul not a part of prophecy, which includes the body of Christ, salvation by faith alone apart from law, covenants, or even Israel. Keeping the mystery/prophecy distinction seems to be the simplest way to remember it.

[@TeachingChurch]

I live in the capitol area of Mid Acts churches. I graduated from Grace Bible College and have had dealings with the GGF. West Michigan area. I’m totally disappointed in the grace movement in this area. Totally hiding themselves from the community. Nobody outside those churches know anything about MAD. Grace bible and the ggf have sold out. It’s hard to get the MAD teachings out when the grace movement itself won’t even show the communities and other churches what they believe. It’s a disgrace. I really don’t think you understand how bad these churches, college and ggf have fallen off the track.

[@rpamplona3156]

is there anybody in the early christian churches like the Corinthians, Romans etc. who were not baptized? I believe that they were all baptized although Paul may have baptized few of them. Baptism is not only for every Jew who believe in Jesus but it is also for every Gentile who believe in Jesus.

[@staza1]

You are thinking of the term baptism to mean water dunking. But John the Baptist says he baptizes with water, but one is coming who will baptize with the spirit. So he distinguishes the two. Yes some of the early apostles and early converts did water baptize, but Paul said he only baptized a few so he greatly downplayed it. The early apostles and converts in early Acts were still operating under the law mindset. Baptism is of the spirit and not of water. You don't actually believe that you can't be baptized with the Holy Spirit into Christ unless you are dunked in water, do you? That is a human ritual that is only a symbol of what is happening in the spirit. It's a work. We are saved by faith alone.

[@Gwyntog-21]

@@staza1 amen brother.

[@staza1]

You are so wrong. Do you really think the water has magical powers to save you? As Paul said, the water is nearly a symbol. It washes away the dirt, but God is washing your spirit and cleansing you and offering full forgiveness. People love to give water and bread and wine magical powers. Do you really think that's the way it works? Think about it. Jews got baptized because everything they did revolved around obeying laws and observing rituals. Water had to do with cleansing, which many mosaic laws and rituals revolve around. Paul didn't baptize because in our new age of grace, we are already cleansed when we repent and turn and believe and have faith. Water is just water. No magic powers. It's faith in Christ that brings on God's power as he cuts out our old heart and gives us a new heart.

[@J_Fine1582]

I just read through all the comments. Everyone who criticized clearly didn’t understand what was being taught. Amazing! It may be useful to ask Christians who are resistant if they are obeying all things whatsoever Jesus commanded, such as obeying the Pharisees in Moses’ seat, the dietary laws, having their righteousness exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, obeying all the commandments and selling all that they have (rich young ruler). The key is to get them to actually think about what Jesus said to do.

[@aletheia8054]

[@princesslillifee7622]

Is water baptism for the Church the Body of Christ? What did OUR (!) apostle Paul say about baptism in this dispensation of Grace? 1. Corinthians 1 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 1. Corinthians 12 13 for by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. Ephesians 4 4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Do you know what the Ministry of reconciliation means? It takes two for the process of reconciliation. God made the first step: He reconciled himself to the world. He would never reconcile himself to sin. So what did He do? Christ paid the price for the sins of the whole world. That was the necessary atonement, directly followed by God forgiving the world all trespasses. Today, sin is not imputed to anyone, ALL sin was put on Christ, buried with him. When Christ rose again, all sin stayed in his grave and is not ever to be re-imputed to anyone in this dispensation of Grace. That's our good news of today the Gospel of our salvation: the work was finished on the cross, once and for all. Now sin is put out of the way between God and man. Hallelujah 🙏🙏🙏 Now it's your turn: be ye reconciled to God. Believe that all your sins were forgiven by God when Christ paid the price for every single sin. This is salvation today: believe, your sins were completely forgiven on the cross when you were His enemy,as the sins of the whole world were paid and forgiven there. Believing that, trusting in Christ alone is what saves you today. In this very moment, Christ's righteousness is imputed in your account, by His spirit you are baptized into Christ, sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption, eternal life and all spiritual blessings are yours, you are a new creature, a member of the church, the Body of Christ, your Destination is heavenly places. Paul, our only apostle,did not say one single word in all his 13 epistles how to get your sins forgiven. Because salvation is to believe they already are. This is our ministry, Ambassadors for Christ, ministers of reconciliation. Share the good news that God has forgiven all the worlds sin and is not imputing them, today is the day of salvation!

Sounds like you introduce a division contrary to Paul’s teaching here in 1 Cor 1:10-13 “I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas[b]”; still another, “I follow Christ.” 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?”

[@roel4450]

You mean to say that RIGHTLY DIVIDING means no water baptism, no lord's table, no matthew, no mark, no luke, no john, no portions of Acts, no james, no philemon, no hebrew, no 1Peter , no 2Peter, no 1John, no 2John, no 3John, no revelation to you, and still you can call yourself a christian? you say you are of Paul but Paul can't help you in the judgement day because he is not even for himself, and all Paul is doing is pointing you to the Lord Jesus word, life, death and teachings. Where can you find Jesus account of life, death & teachings, is it not recorded in the Gospels of Matthew Mark Luke & John, the book of Revelation.? Is Jesus then divided?

[@jahsoul357]

If you use the words of Paul to justify Christ instead of the word of Christ to justify Paul, there is a fundamental flaw in your "Christian" theology. The writings of Paul was primarily doctrinal and specific to each church that he was addressing. Taking this approach would mean that you have to have skipped over Matthew 24:14 or you are calling Christ a liar. No in between

[@staza1]

Wrong. Jesus spoke in the red letters to Jews before the cross. Jesus appeared to Paul and commanded him to tell us everything Paul said. So listening to Paul is listening to Jesus. Jesus told you to obey the law of Moses in Mat 23:2. If you call yourself a Christian, why do you not obey him? Why do you sin and still eat pork and not properly observe the Sabbath on Saturday? Why do you not obey Jesus'words! It's because you know down deep he wasn't talking to you there. Now go ahead and respond and tell me what Jesus REALLY meant. You're so desperate to want the red letters to apply to you that you will twist Jesus'words to make them apply to you. Keep searching. Go deeper.

[@thelastgirlyouknow]

@@staza1 Jesus is not speaking of obeying the Levitical law here. The law and prophets both work together to point towards the coming of Christ and his fulfillment of them all. Keep searching.

[@staza1]

@@thelastgirlyouknow You just proved my point. The only way you can continue to believe that ALL of Jesus's words were commands to you, is to say "Jesus didn't really mean that. What he really meant was ..." Go read the passage again. There are many more passages just like it where Jesus tells people to obey and observe the Moses law. He also outright says he only came for the 12 tribes of Israel. So you'll need to tell me what Jesus "really meant" for all those clear statements too. Don't you see it? Paul explains that Jesus was born "under law". He was speaking to Jews under law, before the cross! There was no blood shed for sins yet, so the only way to please God and get forgiveness was observing the law. So Jesus preached the full weight of the law to bury people to show them out was impossible to follow it Keep searching.

[@thelastgirlyouknow]

@@staza1 that is not what I was saying. What I am saying is that Jesus fulfilled the old covenants and instituted the new covenant by His blood on the cross. This new covenant is what saved everyone, for all time. Believers in the old testament that were under the law were not saved by their obedience, but by the faith that their obedience was fueled by. They did not yet know who the messiah was, or how he would come. In fact, many Jewish people believed (and still do today) that there are two messiah, a suffering messiah and a conquering messiah. We can see now that Jesus is both. Jesus was speaking in terms of what was already revealed in the old testament since, of course, he had not suffered yet. And he purposefully did not disclose to even his closest disciples when or how he would die. This teaching is heresy, please don't take that lightly.

[@harvestworkers626]

1 Cor. 10:32 disproves this teaching. The disciples were clearly members of the body of Christ as was Paul. A person must belong to one of the three groups mentioned in the verse above. They must be either a Jew who never believed in the Lord Jesus Christ or they must be a Gentile who never believed in the Lord Jesus Christ or they are a member of the Church of God, made up of both Jews and Gentiles who HAVE BELIEVED on the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church age began when the Lord Jesus Christ gave up the ghost and the veil in the temple was rent in twain from top to bottom (Matt 27:50-51), thus indicating that God was now going to dwell in a house NOT made with hands, which was the new believers born again spirit.

Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. The Apostle Paul received the gospel of salvation directly from the Lord Jesus Christ and not from any man per Gal 1:12. Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. The gospel the Apostle Paul received directly from the Lord Jesus Christ is found in 1 Cor 15:1-4. This is the gospel of salvation that is relevant today and by which we are saved by today. 1Co15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: The moment someone believes the gospel personally, that the Christ died on the Cross for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day has received the gift of eternal life. The moment you believe, you’re eternally sealed with the Holy Spirit and are born again from above (Eph 1:13).

I stead of criticizing it, how about you actually listen and study it and then see if you disagree with the name or the doctrine. Those who truly study the Bible for many many years and struggle with the inconsistencies and contradictions, are the ones who end up believing in mid Acts dispensationalism and appreciate it the most.

Any system that claims there is two Gospels is in heresy! So glad I came out of dispensationalism.
