The dispensations.  We believe that Holy Spirit will guide sincere believers toward “rightly dividing the word of truth.”  We endorse a dispensational approach to Bible interpretation, in which the enlightened believer may discern man’s particular responsibilities to God through successive ages of human history.  By His sinless life, which enabled Him to become the perfect sacrifice for our sins, our Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled the demands of the Old Testament Law on behalf of all those who receive Him as personal Saviour.  This has freed the born-again Christian from any requirement to fulfill the manifold demands of the Law as a condition of salvation.  Our salvation in this dispensation is entirely of God’s grace; eternal life is freely provided as God’s gift to all who will call upon the name of the Lord Jesus for that salvation.  Neither human good works nor religious rituals have any part in our salvation.  During His earthly ministry, our Lord Jesus instituted the present church age.  It is God’s will today for every believer to be baptized and faithfully involved in a local church.  In the near future, the believers of all ages will be caught up to be with our Lord, leaving the world to the terrible rulership of Satan.  After seven years of Great Tribulation on earth, Jesus will return with His saints to subdue the world.  Our Lord will rule the world from Jerusalem for one thousand glorious years.  His saints will share His authority and glory proportional to the degree of faithfulness they exhibited during their prior earthly life.  We refer to this dispensation as the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ.  It will be followed by eternity to come, in which the saints will live with God, and the lost will suffer forever in the Lake of FIre.  (Gen. 1:28; 1st Cor. 9:17; 2nd Cor. 3:9-18; Gal. 3:13-25; Eph. 1:10, 3:2-10; Col. 1:24-25, 27; 2nd Tim. 2:15; Rev. 20:2-6).
