I have ne'er met a man who admitted that he was an ultra-dispensationalist. I have never detected nor publication a satisfactory account of one. I cognise that ultra-dispensationalism has a synonym, "hyper-dispensationalism." Thus the propagandistic who enjoys resorting to dub job may have his conclusion of the Greek affix (hyper) or the Latin one (ultra) to throw at this sufferer. I am mindful that these language are sometimes down about promiscuously by Bible teachers who have regard in ultraconservative circles. The terms are too perennial parrot-like by thousands who are simply want ill fame among fundamentalists.
Usually mortal is referred to as an ultra-dispensationalist if his complex of dispensational sense of the Bible goes ancient history one's own. That, of course, is the plan of the affix "ultra"-over or further than.
There is another, and maybe even much deadly, ultra-dispensationalism, for which trivial rebuke seems to be forthcoming from any of the publications dyed-in-the-wool to the proper divisional of the Scriptures. I think this profile of ultra-dispensationalism as practical ultra-dispensationalism, a bit than doctrinal. I refer to you that when we turn conscience-smitten of any of the consequent practices, we are "ultra" or "hyper" in our dispensationalism: that is, we go forgotten the Scriptures and become practical ultra-dispensationalists.

Make a Sect of our Dispensationalism. We decline family with any who do not concord with us in all aspect of our training on precisely army unit of the Word. By way of example: not long-run ago a female named our address to communicate just about our house of worship services. She was far-reaching in her attitude and dispensational reported to the Scofield-Darby system, but she belonged to an autarkic association of original churches. When she unconcealed that our church was not affiliated next to her nongovernmental organization near its group of dispensationalism, she became aloof and would not be our meetings, even although we assured her of the force of our schooling and that she would be made welcome in our legislature. This adult female was so radical in respect to her ngo and its system, that she could not see the many, many another property we had in prevailing and incomprehensible the toffee association we could have enjoyed together as male believers.
To be honest, we must adjudge that several of the maximum inner circle groups we have ever encountered were dispensationalists who took airs in the certainty of their non-sectarianism. Many who boasting in their mortal "non-sectarian Christians" are so conservative in their dispensationalism that they cry off to own up to their family any who ebb and flow even somewhat from their particular "norms."
Mutilate the Scriptures by our Dispensationalism. Foes of justified brigade of the Scriptures have frequently suspect us of winning merely a component part of the Word of God and copy the part parenthesis. A famed fundamentalist, who has been loud in his condemnation of dispensational Bible study, in use to say that we took a slash of breadstuff of God's Word, while he took the undivided staff of life. He was, of course, spotty. He claimed to talk the "Great Commission" of Mark 16, but at the said incident attacked beside all his may perhaps the "healing preachers" who were attempting to carry out the hint program of the very commission. But the different tenderloin of the picture is that we of the "Grace Movement" have frequently been conscience-smitten of discourse the Mystery and Pauline truths, piece neglecting or ignoring the trace of the Bible. The fault is not in address the severe truths of Paul's Epistles; it is in failing to springiness a poised message, and so appearance to insolence or kind deviation the component part of the Book. The admission of reality concerning the Body of Christ requests the perspective of the Gospels. The Gospels would not be clear in need the Law, the Psalms and the Prophets. Therefore, we have need of the together Book. Let us not get so extremist in our inflection on dispensationalism (wherever we brainwave the boundaries) that we inattention environment of the Word.

Miss the Sweetness of Spiritual Applications. Closely associated with neglecting the Word of God another than Paul's letters, is the ruin to see magic applications from portions happiness to remaining dispensations. Dr. E. W. Bullinger same in his superior book, How to Enjoy the Bible:
"All the sweetness, all the blessing, all the actuality can be obtained by a sapient application, in need in the least level impairing the honest reading. This may be vanished and salted in its integrity, and yet something really friendly may be seized by application-all, in fact, that can be desired-without doing any hostility to the Divine Word...."
I feel it was Dr. Henry Grube who named curiosity to the reality that I Corinthians 10:11 authorizes cardinal types of Bible study: (1) "Now all these property happened"-I can examination the Bible as accurately true, because these holding in actual fact happened; (2) "unto them for examples" (Greek, tupos, TYPES)-I can sanctum the Bible for types and shadows; (3) "and they are graphical for our admonition"-I can gain knowledge of the Bible for magic applications; (4) "upon whom the ends of the global [ages] are come"-I can chamber the Bible to differentiate the ages or dispensations.
Surely a number of of God's selected from among the Plymouth Brethren have finished the Body of Christ a grave feature done their subtlety studies regarding sacred applications of Old Testament truths! Who among us has not rejoiced beside C. H. Mackintosh in abundant of his studies in dimness and type? If we get so dispensational that we abstain from the taste sensation of these numinous truths in nature and shadow, we are Ultra.
Manifest the Spirit of Continuous Criticism. I feel that, by the saving grace of God, supreme of us who care Pauline instruction have full-grown out of this to a degree; but who among us cannot call to mind the instance when a champion new in dispensational justice was all but apprehensive to instigate his oral fissure in a circle senior believers for terror of mortal criticized for his superior of words, quality of hymns, etc.? We did not daring think of to the Old Testament or the New in need a exposition on rightful when the Old was replaced by the New. We dared not use the libretto "Christmas" or "Easter," lest being infer we were observant days. It was heterodoxy to recite "Stepping in the Light" because we for sure were not "Trying to waddle in the stairs of the Savior."
In our eagerness to weight the information that our Lord Jesus Christ was a Jew according to the flesh, made of a woman, made lower than the Law, live on Old Testament ground, and upcoming to die for our sins, not screening us the way but coming to be The Way, we forgot other side of the work of art. While we do not hunt our Lord in His Jewish holiness beside its Sabbaths and ceremonies, we do (or should) endeavor to "let this consciousness be in you which was likewise in Christ Jesus." As far as His humility, His kindness, His good manners and His admire are concerned, we essential think that He moved out us an pattern that we should stalk in His steps, not to be saved, but because He lives in us. In our elan to "know Him no much after the flesh," we may have put a stumblingblock in the footprints of debilitated Christians who did not even cognize what we were conversation something like. If our go is a cut-out of criticizing those who neglect to hold with us in that which has almost go dispensational jargon, we are Ultra.
This letter is not an supplication to minimise or alter the valued truths of correct division, nor is it designed to dampen the spirits any person from making illustrious the Dispensation of the Mystery. Surely, too few are doing plenty to gross these affluent truths proverbial. But I am convinced that Satan sometimes uses the friends of dispensationalism to be its chief check. This actuality specified to us by the risen Christ, finished the Apostle Paul, was designed to load the unity of the Spirit, the indistinguishability of all believers in Christ. It is a sad notes on our immorality that our message, done these forms of ultra-dispensationalism, has become a beginning of contingent.
A man of God of whom I have heard, and whose sweetened essence has been an prompt to me, even yet I was never grateful to come upon him obverse to face, was Brother Elmer Leake, a Texas pastor, who, past any of us was born, was erect for copious of the truths we clench beloved. He was quoted as having said, "Brethren, if a divider of remoteness or sectarianism is of all time reinforced linking us and any opposite believers, let's let them do the structure." In some other words, this darling brother worshipped all believers and desirable association next to them finished the Lord Jesus Christ. Brother C. R. Stam erstwhile wrote, "We face forward to the day when, in God's grace, nongovernmental organization walls will plunge and we can all savour our unity in Christ. Meantime we want what family we can brainwave with those who emotion and property our Lord in truth, anything their nongovernmental organization tie." This affirmation climaxed an article that Brother Stam wrote on, "The Practical Effects of the Mystery," in which he gave an impressive, trenchant statement on the valuableness of the speech of Jesus Christ according to the speech act of the Mystery, display the sensible personalty this communication should have in our lives.
When we change state so taken up near the insignificant information of dispensationalism that we put in the wrong place the apprehension of our identity in Christ, we have get Ultra.
