Definitions
- 1 A proponent of dispensationalism.
"This change in nomenclature from the “Holy Ghost” or the “Holy Spirit” to just the “Spirit,” or the “Spirit of God” (as we find Him in the Old Testament), is indicative of the fact that the period is no longer the Church Age but another dispensation. (Of course, a man who is not a dispensationalist and is still trying to teach the Bible is a farce. I don’t mean that with malice; I mean it is just a plain statement of fact.) A man who is not a dispensationalist does not divide the Bible into dispensations, and therefore, he has sinned against God, for the clear commandment is to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2Tim 2:15)."
