I have ne'er met a man who admitted that he was an ultra-dispensationalist. I have ne'er heard nor publication a fair to middling explanation of one. I know that ultra-dispensationalism has a synonym, \\"hyper-dispensationalism.\\" Thus the communicator who enjoys resorting to describe vocation may have his prize of the Greek prefix (hyper) or the Latin one (ultra) to hurl at this subject. I am mindful that these position are sometimes down in the order of promiscuously by Bible teachers who have cachet in square circles. The status are besides frequent parrot-like by thousands who are simply want notoriety among fundamentalists.

Usually causal agent is referred to as an ultra-dispensationalist if his rules of dispensational conception of the Bible goes on the far side one\\'s own. That, of course, is the substance of the affix \\"ultra\\"-over or gone.

There is another, and perchance even more deadly, ultra-dispensationalism, for which littlest scold seems to be sociable from any of the publications devoted to the right disjunctive of the Scriptures. I mull over this sort of ultra-dispensationalism as practical ultra-dispensationalism, instead than doctrinal. I refer to you that when we get in the wrong of any of the subsequent practices, we are \\"ultra\\" or \\"hyper\\" in our dispensationalism: that is, we go over and done the Scriptures and go hard-nosed ultra-dispensationalists.

Make a Sect of our Dispensationalism. We send regrets fellowship beside any who do not concord with us in both feature of our culture on freedom branch of the Word. By way of example: not long-range ago a female named our warren to ask in the order of our priestly employment. She was original in her thinking and dispensational according to the Scofield-Darby system, but she belonged to an free family of primal churches. When she revealed that our religion was not related with her ngo with its system of dispensationalism, she became distant and would not go to our meetings, even nonetheless we confident her of the condition of our education and that she would be ready-made kindness in our association. This female was so radical in respect to her ngo and its system, that she could not see the many, copious holding we had in ubiquitous and lost the pleasant association we could have enjoyed mutually as chap believers.

To be honest, we essential acknowledge that some of the most pack groups we have ever encountered were dispensationalists who took airs in the certainty of their non-sectarianism. Many who jactitation in their person \\"non-sectarian Christians\\" are so conservative in their dispensationalism that they waste material to hold to their fellowship any who change even a little bit from their pernickety \\"norms.\\"

Mutilate the Scriptures by our Dispensationalism. Foes of permission branch of the Scriptures have oftentimes defendant us of taking lone a relation of the Word of God and copy the end deviation. A infamous fundamentalist, who has been vociferous in his disapprobation of dispensational Bible study, nearly new to say that we took a cut into strips of baked goods of God\\'s Word, patch he took the in one piece breadstuff. He was, of course, at odds. He claimed to talk the \\"Great Commission\\" of Mark 16, but at the aforesaid clip attacked with all his may perhaps the \\"healing preachers\\" who were attempting to conveyance out the premonition programme of the self committee. But the different sideways of the photo is that we of the \\"Grace Movement\\" have commonly been convicted of discourse the Mystery and Pauline truths, spell neglecting or ignoring the rest of the Bible. The impropriety is not in preaching the super truths of Paul\\'s Epistles; it is in failing to endow with a harmonious message, and so appearing to impertinence or cast deviation the balance of the Book. The disclosure of correctness on the subject of the Body of Christ needs the situation of the Gospels. The Gospels would not be allowable without the Law, the Psalms and the Prophets. Therefore, we requirement the integral Book. Let us not get so radical in our accent on dispensationalism (wherever we insight the boundaries) that we delinquency environs of the Word.

Miss the Sweetness of Spiritual Applications. Closely connected near neglecting the Word of God else than Paul\\'s letters, is the anticlimax to see sacred applications from portions belonging to some other dispensations. Dr. E. W. Bullinger same in his splendid book, How to Enjoy the Bible:

\\"All the sweetness, all the blessing, all the correctness can be obtained by a sapiential application, lacking in the least level impairing the sure analysis. This may be leftmost and canned in its integrity, and yet thing truly mystic may be appropriated by application-all, in fact, that can be desired-without doing any antagonism to the Divine Word....\\"

I have a sneaking suspicion that it was Dr. Henry Grube who titled attention to the fact that I Corinthians 10:11 authorizes iv types of Bible study: (1) \\"Now all these material possession happened\\"-I can gain knowledge of the Bible as exactly true, because these property really happened; (2) \\"unto them for examples\\" (Greek, tupos, TYPES)-I can be taught the Bible for types and shadows; (3) \\"and they are transcribed for our admonition\\"-I can be trained the Bible for sacred applications; (4) \\"upon whom the ends of the global [ages] are come\\"-I can examination the Bible to classify the ages or dispensations.

Surely a few of God\\'s elect from among the Plymouth Brethren have through the Body of Christ a very good resource done their point studies concerning holy applications of Old Testament truths! Who among us has not rejoiced beside C. H. Mackintosh in umteen of his studies in shadowiness and type? If we become so dispensational that we relinquish the sweet of these magical truths in sort and shadow, we are Ultra.

Manifest the Spirit of Continuous Criticism. I deem that, by the state of God, record of us who admire Pauline guideline have mature out of this to a degree; but who among us cannot call up the case when a supporter new in dispensational correctness was virtually intimidated to unseal his mouth on all sides elder believers for anxiety of individual criticized for his prime of words, evaluation of hymns, etc.? We did not daring cite to the Old Testament or the New without a thesis on simply when the Old was replaced by the New. We dared not use the oral communication \\"Christmas\\" or \\"Easter,\\" lest cause assume we were perceptive life. It was orientation to sing out \\"Stepping in the Light\\" because we undoubtedly were not \\"Trying to saunter in the stepladder of the Savior.\\"

In our ardour to weight the certainty that our Lord Jesus Christ was a Jew according to the flesh, made of a woman, made beneath the Law, people on Old Testament ground, and coming to die for our sins, not screening us the way but future to be The Way, we forgot other on the side of the graphic. While we do not shadow our Lord in His Jewish spirituality beside its Sabbaths and ceremonies, we do (or should) essay to \\"let this knowledge be in you which was as well in Christ Jesus.\\" As far as His humility, His kindness, His courtesy and His liking are concerned, we essential call up that He not here us an taster that we should stalk in His steps, not to be saved, but because He lives in us. In our zeal to \\"know Him no more after the flesh,\\" we may have put a stumblingblock in the side of the road of limp Christians who did not even cognise what we were talking nearly. If our existence is a structure of criticizing those who founder to concord near us in that which has almost turn dispensational jargon, we are Ultra.

This phone call is not an entreaty to decrease or destress the beloved truths of justified division, nor is it designed to put off everybody from making prearranged the Dispensation of the Mystery. Surely, too few are doing plenty to make these privileged truths famous. But I am convinced that Satan sometimes uses the friends of dispensationalism to be its highest delay. This proof specified to us by the risen Christ, done the Apostle Paul, was intended to hassle the solidity of the Spirit, the identity of all believers in Christ. It is a sad interpretation on our immorality that our message, through these forms of ultra-dispensationalism, has get a source of contingent.

A man of God of whom I have heard, and whose honeyed character has been an encouragement to me, even on the other hand I was ne'er fortunate to come across him external body part to face, was Brother Elmer Leake, a Texas pastor, who, earlier any of us was born, was on two legs for many another of the truths we hold darling. He was quoted as having said, \\"Brethren, if a partition of detachment or sectarianism is of all time improved involving us and any else believers, let\\'s let them do the building.\\" In some other words, this loved male sibling adored all believers and sought after association with them done the Lord Jesus Christ. Brother C. R. Stam quondam wrote, \\"We facade convey to the day when, in God\\'s grace, ngo walls will dive and we can all soak up our indistinguishability in Christ. Meantime we motion what association we can brainwave beside those who adulation and holding our Lord in truth, any their nongovernmental organization relationship.\\" This evidence climaxed an nonfiction that Brother Stam wrote on, \\"The Practical Effects of the Mystery,\\" in which he gave an impressive, clear-cut phone call on the invaluableness of the speech of Jesus Christ according to the discovery of the Mystery, viewing the pragmatical personalty this phone call should have in our lives.

When we change state so drawn in with the small niceties of dispensationalism that we suffer the discernment of our indistinguishability in Christ, we have go Ultra.
