Be Careful of Mid Acts Dispensationalism Beliefs! What Do Mid Acts Believe That Is False?

What is wrong with what Mid Acts Dispensationalists believe? Mid Acts wrongly divides the Word of God, the Bible, teach that Paul and Peter taught different gospels.

Mid Acts Dispensationalism is also known as Pauline Onlyism, Hyper-Dispensationalism, Ultra-Dispensationalism, the main issue being discussed in this video is explaining how they misrepresent the gospel Jesus Christ and falsely teach that Paul preached a different gospel from Jesus, Peter and the apostles. Is Mid Acts Dispensationalism false, unbiblical, heretical? Some people have asked to explain what Mid Acts beliefs. From a Biblical view Mid Acts Dispensationalism wrongly divides the Word of Gd, the Bible, and this is one of the main reasons why it is false (2 Peter 3:15-18).

What do Mid Acts Dispensationalists believe that is true and that is false? Mid Acts Dispensationalists have been taught to believe that Paul was the first Christian to be saved by grace through faith in Jesus. Mid Acts Dispensationalists also believe that Paul preached a different gospel from Jesus, Peter, and the other apostles. Mid Acts Dispensationalists do not believe the mystery of grace is found in any of the New Testament writings other than Paul’s writings. This is not rightly dividing the Word of God, the Bible, and sadly is twisting the Scriptures to their own interpretations.

The Bible teaches the doctrine of grace and that is how anyone is saved. Jesus taught the apostles during His ministry His death (cross) and resurrection, but they did not understand salvation by grace until after Jesus was resurrected (Luke 24:44-46). Throughout the book of Acts, in Paul’s letters, in Peter’s letters, and in John’s letters we see that anyone can be saved and receive eternal life apart from works for salvation (Acts 10:39-43; Acts 15:7-11; Acts 16:31; Romans 3:21-31; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:10-12; 1 John 5:10-13). The mystery of the gospel was revealed after Jesus’ death and resurrection, which is important to understand. It is always important to examine the Scriptures in their proper context. This is rightly dividing the Word of God, the Bible (2 Timothy 2:15).

Jesus taught His death(cross), burial, and resurrection for anyone to be saved by trusting in Him for salvation apart from works of the Law (Luke 24:44-46). Peter taught Jesus’ death (cross), burial, and resurrection for anyone to be saved by grace through faith in Jesus apart from the works of the Law (Acts 15:7-11; 1 Peter 1:10-12). Paul taught Jesus’ death (cross) , burial, and resurrection for anyone to be saved by grace through faith in Jesus apart from the works of the Law (Romans 3:21-31; Romans 4:3-5; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Ephesians 2:8-9). This is rightly dividing the Word of God, the Bible (2 Timothy 2:15).

What is wrong and false with Mid Act Dispensationalism teachings? Some have asked is Mid Acts Dispensationalism a false movement? Are Mid Acts Dispensationalists Christians? The dangers of Mid Act Dispensationalism is that some make their teachings the gospel for salvation, and claim others are not Christians (Galatians 1:6-9). The New Testament teaches there is one gospel that saves which was taught by Jesus to His apostles, and later to Paul. Those who teach that Paul preached a different gospel from Jesus, Peter, and the apostles is false, and they are misrepresenting the gospel. Mid Acts are not rightly dividing the Word of God, the Bible.

Is Mid Acts Dispensationalism false, unbiblical, heretical? Those who are Mid Acts Dispensationalists, Pauline Onlyism, Hyper-Dispensationalists, Ultra-Dispensationalists who teach and believe that Paul was the first and only to teach salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ are in error and falsely teachings the Scriptures (Galatians 1:6-9)!

Jesus Christ was the minister of the circumcision (Israel) and he gave Paul the ministry to the uncircumcision (Gentiles) and all are saved by the gospel of grace who believe since there’s no Jew or Greek in the body of Christ. Paul says to be ye followers of me as I am also of Christ. We follow Paul as a pattern who was first.

[ishiftfocus]

A Protestant with a catholic bible is almost as blind as the Bereans (unsaved Jews in a synagogue) searching the scriptures for Paul’s unsearchable riches.


“Unto me [Paul], who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;” – Ephesians 3:8
Christ gave to Paul a message of grace containing riches unknown since the world began.

Jesus told Israel to “search the scriptures” to hear his testimony:

“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” – John 5:39
Anyone in Israel could read about the riches God had promised through the Messiah to Israel. They are found in covenants and promises and are all a part of prophecy. This is why the noble unbelieving Berean Jews “searched the scriptures daily” to find out whether Jesus was the Christ (Acts 17:11).

[janettwithts]

If paul and Peter preached the same thing why did peter in 2 Peter 3:15-16 say that Pauls epistles are hard to understand, unlearned and unstable wrest??? This proves that peter didn’t receive the mystery. This is why we must study to show ourselves approved (2 Timothy 2:15).. I had to get out of my denomination to see these things. Thank God I did otherwise I wouldn’t know paul is my apostle and pattern (1 Corinthians 11:1, 1 Timothy 1:16) not Jesus earthly ministry as it was for Isreal

[paulwiley]

Hey Kelly, thanks for your videos regarding the Mid-Acts theology! I believe it was this one that led me to your ministry in the first place. I first learned about Mid-Acts about three years ago, and thought that something wasn't right about that group but couldn't just pinpoint the problem. Thanks for your help! Blessings to you.

[tonybarron]

Not so, we believe that Paul was the first to recieve the Revelation of the Mystery which was KEPT SECRET since the world began, Paul brings a different program than Peter, check Acts 3:21 and compare to Romans 16:25 and check Galatians 2:7, your reading a corrupt counterfeit from Satan. But you will never know the difference because Satan makes Galatians 2:7 read like that Paul and Peter's gospel is the same, the difference of grace gospel is that Paul is grace without works and Peter is grace with works.

[LastCallToCalvary]

I ask you brother out of love and with a humble heart.... If indeed Peter, James, John, Stephen were all preaching the same gospel as the gospel of grace through faith alone in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.... then what was the need for Paul? Why did the Lord need with Paul when He easily could have just had Peter or the members of the little flock to spread the gospel around the world? Why were the told to preach only to the jews? And from there we see Paul receiving a mystery.... a gospel that had been hidden IN God before the beginning of time. Paul goes on to say that we as members of the Body of Christ (which also is only found in the Pauline epistles) will be judged one day based on the gospel that Jesus gave to Him. If we can't answer these questions, and if you can't find the gospel in the 4 gospels or acts... then we seriously need to think twice about tearing down dispensationalism... and continue to study.

I am truly seeking truth just like you and the others - but it seems to me that there are some holes that you didn't quite address. Israel is awaiting a physical Kingdom, in which Christ will rule from on earth - - - WE the Body of Christ (from my understanding) are seating in Heavenly places, are going to judge angels.... we're a separate entity completely. The little flock, O.T. saints are IN Christ like you and I - but they are NOT members of the Body. They will be resurrected at the 2nd coming to reign with Christ in the New Jerusalem - while the Body of Christ will be raptured prior to Daniels 70th week and will reign from Heaven. This lines up perfectly with why the New Jerusalem coming down will have the names of the 12 tribes and 12 apostles on the gates.... which gate would you and I enter in as gentiles.... see? We will be seated in Heaven until Christ's millennial reign is over and then we will all be joined together. As we read in Ephesians 1:10 “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him”

Just my 2 cents - I'm just a brother in Christ seeing through a glass.... I appreciate you studying and seeking the truth. Pray that the Lord open our hearts in these last days to seeing it!

Peter never preached Paul's "my gospel".
Why not? Because the fulness of what had been accomplished at the cross was only later revealed to the apostle Paul. (Ephesians 3:9)

Paul preached Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery. (Roman's 16:25)

And it wasn't until Galatians chapter 2 that Paul went up to Jerusalem to communicate "that gospel" Jesus gave him to preach. Galatans 2:2)

What Peter preached in Acts 2:38 was forgiveness by repentance (a change of mind) and then doing the work of being water baptized so that sins were put into remission. Faith plus work for salvation. -Same gospel James preached.

And by the way, "remission" does not mean gone forever without the chance of returning. It meant that it could come back. According to Peter, sins hadn't even been blotted out yet. (Acts 3:19)

That's not Paul's gospel.

Paul's gospel does not include repent and be baptize in order for our sins to go into remission.

Paul's gospel declares that sins are gone forever and no longer even being imputed. (2 Corinthians 5:19)

So if there not being imputed, what sins are we to be baptized for?

If sins aren't being imputed, what sins can go into remission?

You see, what Peter said was TRUTH, and what Paul said is TRUTH, and is why we're told to rightly DIVIDE the word of truth.

Without proper division, the bible will appear to contradict itself.

“But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2:7‬ ‭

2 different gospels according to Paul

[REALE]

You should never try to teach other people position when you have no idea what your talking about. Do you believe Jesus in the 4 Gospels that Jesus was not talking to you for salvation or anything else but to Israel under law?.
Matthew 15:24 KJV
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 10:5-7 KJVS
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: [6] But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. [7] And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Interested thing about sound doctrine for today.
2 Corinthians 5:16-17 KJVS
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. [17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

[Jonnyballgame]

The book of Acts is not so much a book about the origin of the church as it is the temporary decline of the nation of Israel in God's plan... "Blindness in part..."

[Jonnyballgame]

No word about Romans16:25... Ephesians 3:8, 9... or Colossians 1:24-27... It's always what the deniers of mid-Acts don't tell you that is really important...😉📖✝️

[a.abhasker]

Christ died for our sins according to scripture 1Cor15:2-3

[jimoaks]

it is churchianity for you to think your differences w/ mid-Acts dispensation somehow makes you correct.
compare these scriptures: Acts 3:21 vs Rom. 16:25.
compare within Gal 2:7 KJV Peter taught the gospel OF the circumcised to Jews. Paul taught the gospel OF the uncircumcised to all. if you’re honest you can’t say there are not 2 different gospels!
still think Peter and Paul were teaching the same thing?
Peters message was for salvation of the Jews.
Paul’s message was for salvation of all.

2 different people groups
Jews/ Gentiles

2 different gospels
Acts 2:38/ 1 Cor 15:1-4

2 different destinations
earthly kingdom/heavenly places

[jaimelove]

Amen! Thank u so much for a great teaching. It's soo clear.

[diebibel]

Yes many of them have pride issues because Knowledge puffeth up.... but you need to be fair to them... they still are the “smartest” denomination. They are able to explain more verses then any other churches. Be fair and compare there teachings with other churches and you will see they can explain much more verses giving more understandable teachings.

[theodore]

Out of all protestant teachings this is the most bizarre. Don't repent. Don't take up your cross and follow Christ. Go and sin more. Paul never says to repent, never says to work out your own salvation with fear or trembling. Paul teaches we are saved by faith and grace alone. No repentance. Jesus teaches to repent and sin no more He says to take up your cross and follow him. James says faith without works is dead and that we are not justified by faith alone. Peter even says "baptism now saves". Don't you see they are preaching different gospels? If you don't see this or think there is a contradiction its not because I misinterpret Jesus Paul and the disciples. No! It is because you are not rightly dividing the word!

[wolfwatchers]

Jesus and his resurrection is core to both messages. ( the Gospel OF the circumcision and the gospel OF the uncircumcision!) but the stipulations are different!! in the Gospel of the circumcision its death burial and resurrection + water baptism. + obedience + endurance + Good works as proof! and in the gospel ''OF'' the uncircumcision its death burial and resurrection apart from ourselves , the resurrection is core to both so is faith so is grace but its the differences that make all the differences ...lol!

mid acts position is that the body of christ where ''NOW there is no difference between jew and gentile didn't begin until after it was revealed to Paul after his conversion. it was a secret hid in God until God revealed it to Paul, ( Ephesians 3:1-6 ) (Ephesians 3:9 ) (Romans 16:25 ) and before this revelation gentiles were without God and hope and were strangers to both Israel and God there was a middle wall of separation God kept in place until after acts 9
Ephesians 2:11-14
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

[johngraham]

Dispensation is in my Bible four times: Ephesians 1:10; Ephesians 3:2; Colossians 1:25; First Corinthians 9:17. It is only a Pauline word. Many dispensationalists came up with various numbers (Scofield named 7.) He forgot the dispensation of the fullness of times occurring in Revelation...who knows how many? It is real though: God has always dealt in progressive revelation. Remember this key verse: First Timothy 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. Paul, the apostle to the gentile, is our pattern.

[kimosabi]

I'm a Non-churched believer => i'm also a Dispensationalist => i also believe we must Rightly Divide. Unlike many => i don't believe your DOCTRINE has to be PERFECT to be saved => but your faith has to be in Jesus (who is god and who lived a PERFECT life while here on earth and died for our sins, shed HIS blood, reconciled us to God and by GRACE EPH 2:8 -9 we are saved W/O works ==> it's a gift ==> NOT EARNED.

When you quote from the 4 GOSPELS => it shows you don't understand RIGHT DIVISION.

When you quote Peter, James or John => it shows you don't understand RD.

When you quote anything in ACTS => it shows you don't understand RD.

When you quote PAUL => prior to him receiving the revelation of THE MYSTERY => as stated in EPH 3 => it shows you don't understand RD.

That doesn't mean you aren't a BELIEVER nor part of the BODY, etc., etc.

ACTS is a book of transition. God is moving away from the JEWS => to the GENTILES.

God is moving away from WORKS + FAITH ==> to FAITH ONLY. Not faith in your repenting or being baptized or taking communion nor washing others feet, nor not eating certain foods, etc., etc., ==> but BELIEVING in what JESUS DID ==> HIS FAITH => HIS SACRIFICE.

It seems => very few understand the TRANSITION and get stuck.

Some get STUCK with the LAW
Some get STUCK with Repent and be Baptized
Some get STUCK with the gifts....and say you must speak in tongues
Some get STUCK with ordinances
Some get STUCK => and REPLACE THE CHURCH with Israel
Some get STUCK thinking the WHOLE NT is TO THEM and live in chaos w/James 2:24

On and on it goes => rightly dividing clears it all up. You never have to swallow the BS again.
You GET IT. Its like Magic Eye => you go from seeing 2D => to seeing 3D !!!

You become FREE IN CHRIST JESUS. YOU HAVE PEACE. Acts 28 and Romans 9-11 tell the story that THE KINGDOM AGE has diminished and THE AGE OF GRACE has begun/increased and been going on for almost 2000 years now. It is NO LONGER TO THE JEW FIRST. In this AGE we are all the same and all come to GOD the same way by 1 SPIRIT => into 1 BODY.

No matter what age or dispensation or gospel => the foundation and how you are saved is always by God's GRACE and Jesus DBR => but many ages and dispensation required some behavior or work => to be done in faith. The AGE OF GRACE DOES NOT => it's all by believing in what JESUS has already done. We don't bring a lamb to sacrifice or get on an ark or be faithful until the end or repent and be baptized or don't eat meat sacrificed to idols, etc., etc => we just believe.

[Jonnyballgame]

Peter's sermon in Acts chapter 2 is nothing but a condemnation of the nation of Israel for having put to death their messiah.. Peter does not preach on the forgiveness of sins by the shed blood of Jesus Christ at calvary yet the apostle Paul says that is the only way we are saved...!
