Theology Club: Bob Enyart's "The Plot" is he right?
MidActs DispensationalismActs 9 (or MidActs) Dispensationalism acknowledges the scriptural presentation of the dispensation of grace having begun with, not before, Paul; and its adherents accept the admonishment of Jesus Christ Himself that members of the Body of Christ follow Paul as he followed Christ.
2. While Jesus Himself is not directly quoted in the gospels as using the word "grace", we still find this in the gospel of John:
John 1:14, 1:16
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth...And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
Have to allow for Luke 4:22, Jesus with "gracious words", which is not at all opposed to the mid-Acts view to my knowledge, or the way Bob views salvation I think, but it surely suggests Jesus spoke of grace. I don't know anyone who would deny grace is involved in salvation in any dispensation. If anyone is saved at all, grace is involved.

I don't know. I just found the link from doing a search.
Neg rep for link dropping. If you have a point to make, make it so it can be refuted. I am not going there, copy and paste their demon possessed perversions and then offer a rebuttal.
I'd like for those who keep saying this to show the phrase "Bride of Christ" in the Bible. Then to show Paul using it, as well as anyone other than Paul using the phrase "Body of Christ."
We had a good discussion not too long ago about the idea of "two gospels" being error. You can read it here: Rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
did it show your exegesis
and settle doctrinal debates like:
are believers under the law?
is baptism necessary ?
does salvation by faith require works ?
can believers lose their salvation ?
must believers keep the sabbath ?
is the rapture before the tribulation ?
is there a rapture ?
this exegesis works
circumcised= Jew under the law
uncircumcised= body of Christ
