UMM Quick question for you Chosen,

Doesn't dispensation fly in the face of Hebrews 11? Doesn't Hebrews 11 point to the fact that all the men and women of faith were declared righteous by FAITH? Wasn't Abraham declared righteous by FAITH? Every single one BELIEVED and obeyed God. Isn't the time when Abraham went to sacrifice Issac a shadow of what was to come? So how do these things work within dispensation? If all were declared righteous by faith then how is that so much DIFFERENT then Christians being declared righteous by faith in Christ? Remember the Old Testament points forward to Christ,the New Testament points back to what He has already done. So how is it different in that both Old and New Testament believers were declared righteous by FAITH?
Yes and No.

Yes - The part of dispensationalism which states man was saved, or made right with God in different ways as per each dispensational period, does contradict all aspects of Scripture. men from Adam until the last man saved are saved by the work of Christ based on faith, thats all.

No - The part of dispensationalism (the part I follow) which takes history of mankind, and separates it into periods (much like chapters in a book) which help us more clearly understand scripture, history and possible future events. Does not. Because we claim salvation by faith alone in the work of Christ and that is all.
