Episode notes
Dispensationalism Centers On God's Glory
- Dispensationalism emphasizes God's glory and the unity of salvation across history.
- Costi Hinn explains it reads prophecy literally and sees different administrations as ways God reveals one redemptive plan.
Salvation Always By Faith Not Law
- Dispensationalism does not teach two different ways of salvation for Old and New Testament believers.
- Hinn uses Abraham (Genesis 15:6) and Hebrews 11 to show Old Testament faith was still trusting God's promise in Christ.
Whole New Testament Remains Relevant
- Classic dispensationalism affirms the whole New Testament applies to the church while reading passages in their historical context.
- Hinn rejects hyper-dispensational claims that only Paul's letters apply and cites 2 Timothy 3:16 and Romans 15:4.
