We look at a video of Dr. George Antonius critiquing a video by Pastor David O’Steen concerning what was Cornelius saved into, the kingdom or the body of Christ. The first thing that we see is that Pastor O’Steen contradicts himself when he uses the terms ‘prophetic program’ and ‘mystery program.’ Dr. Antonius points this out and also uses these terms. The…

Sermons on Right Division (Page 2)
There are many videos on YouTube refuting Mid-Acts dispensationalism. We begin looking at what the critics say about us and determining if it is true. The first subject concerns the idea that the church had to begin at Pentecost because that is where the baptizing work of the Holy Spirit began. https://www.gracealive.org/sermon-series/why-i-am-a-hyper-dispensationalist/
One common objection to Mid-Acts dispensationalism is Romans 16:7, where Paul says that Andronicus and Junia were in Christ before him. That should surprise no one. Everyone who was granted eternal life before Paul’s salvation was in Christ before him. There is no eternal life outside of Christ. This is made clear in Ephesians 1:10 and Colossians 1:18-20. Romans 3 tells us…
In Acts 1, after Christ is caught up into a cloud, two angels question the disciples as to why they are gazing up into heaven. Why did they ask that question, and what significance does it have to Israel’s prophecy and their future?
Jesus Christ gave the keys to the kingdom to Peter. The Rock on which that kingdom church would be built was Peter’s confession: ‘Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ This is the same foundation that Paul establishes the body of Christ upon. Although the foundation is the same, the churches had to be different. If they were the…
In this study we look at the eternal destiny of Israel and the eternal destiny of the body of Christ. These are within the one purpose of God, but two different destinations. We also look at the return of Christ, and how that offers blessings for the church and blessings for Israel: again with the same purpose but different places. Finally we…
God’s Word has different divisions within it. First, there is the division between His purpose and plan for the earth and His purpose and plan for the heavens. Then there are the divisions between the tree, the time of tribulation, the throne and the mystery. There is also a division between the gospel of the circumcision and the gospel of the uncircumcision.…
Many metaphors are used for the nation Israel. One important one to understand is that they are sheep. Christ came to seek and to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel. It is helpful when reading the gospels that we understand that Christ is a Shepherd coming to save his sheep. Christ sought out the children of Abraham, Isaac and…
In this section of our statement, we find that there may be a better way of stating our beliefs. Again we have a few discussions on the accuracy and clarity that is contained in the old statement. The main focus is that God has one purpose – to gather all things in Christ, but has two places – heaven and earth. For…
A look at rightly dividing the word of truth, and what happens when it is wrongly or not divided.
