them and God:

"Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily My
sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you
throughout your generations; that ye may know that I AM
The LORD that doth sanctify you." (Exodus 31:13 AV)
Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):24) In God's Other Context Of:
Mystery and Grace For The Heavenly Body Of Christ:
(Acts 9 - Romans -Philemon AV)
No, sabbath-keeping is not required for The Body Of Christ:
"One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth
every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto The Lord; and he that
regardeth not the day, to The Lord he doth not regard it."
(Romans 14:5)
+"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect
of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which
are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."
(Colossians 2:16-17 AV)
Amen.

That's probably true. Stam was a Hyper-Dispensationalist (as was Bullinger) and Grace Ambassador loves their teachings. Only Paul was given insight into the "mysteries" hidden from the OT prophets. They all pertain to Christ and His Church, but one mystery pertains to the present "blindness in part" of Israel.
But Hyper-Dispensationalists reject the necessity of Christian baptism by immersion. And that is a major error. Proper Dispensationalism does not do so. Bullingerism is rather misleading, and it all started with him.

Hello, Thanks for the "welcome back"
I downloaded your PDF on dispensationalism and thank you for it. I'm relatively new to following the Truth, Christ, His Way, to His Life and have been studying the differences between this Dispensation theology and the "religion" of Christ and His Disciples... Bible Truth, ... as well as how modern traditional orthodox Christianity has changed from what the followers of Christ and the protestant reformers in the past 1800 years, pre-1800 believed and taught.
Thank You & Have a Blessed Day

As you read that pdf, do so with your Bible in hand and open. Look for examples of scripture itself dividing itself up into dispensations.
When you cannot find scripture doing that then realize the entire construct of Dispensationalism is man-made AND man-made in the undeniable face of scripture's silence of that practice. You'll find the word "oikonomia" used in the New Testament, but you will not find it as a term scripture uses to divide itself chronologically. The term scripture does use to mark its passage is "covenant," so notice how Dispensationalism variously accommodate and opposes the covenantal structure scripture itself provides (I am not referring to Covenant Theology). Keep in mind one more thing because Dispensationalists speak/write of "Dispensationalism," but they mean Dispensational Premillennialism. What this means is that every time you read any Dispensationalist's mention of "Dispensationalism" without the premillennialism also mentioned they are committing a lie of omission.
I know what I wrote is blunt and critical. No disrespect of offense is intended. The above are the objectively verifiable facts of Dispensational Premillennialism, but they typically go unreported in Dispensationalist writings.

Precious @Rob7, your Are Very Welcome! 35 years ago, when I was part of denominational
Confusion, this precious Word Of Truth came to my attention ( God Knows How To Do That, eh?).
I did then, and still do today, with my precious Bible in hand, study prayerfully and carefully, and
despite all the accusations of heresy and discouraging criticisms, This Word Of Truth Still Solves
all of the Confusion I ever had.
I Praise God For this daily, and hope This will Very Richly Encourage and Edify you also
(as God Has Done for so many of us students of His Holy Word) as you review It In Christ.
Amen.
