Gifts (or Gifts of the Holy Spirit)
There has been a clash between the two Christian groups since about 1900. One is dispensationalism, and the other is Pentecostal.
From a Pentecostal perspective, the issue concerns the "gifts of the Holy Spirit". While dispensationalism holds an opposite view of the "gifts of the Holy Spirit", it also holds to a number of distinct doctrines. The Pentecostal movement began in 1901, while dispensationalism started in the 1830s.
The father of dispensationalism was John Nelson Darby, an Anglo-Irish Plymouth Brethren leader. His goal was to divide history into distinct periods (dispensations). Dispensationalism holds that the prophetic passages in Revelation and Daniel are interpreted literally rather than allegorically. Also, a distinct view about Israel and the church.
The Pentecostal movement began on January 1, 1901, in Topeka, Kansas, and took off after the 1906 Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles. Pentecostal stress: A Spirit-filled life, emphasizing baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and exercising spiritual gifts like healing.
Some Pentecostal Churches are Bible-based; others hold to distinct doctrines not found in the Bible. Problem doctrines: As proof a believer has the Holy Spirit, one MUST speak in tongues, which is against 1 Cor 12:11-30). The Bible teaches that not all believers speak in tongues, as spiritual gifts are distributed by the Holy Spirit as He wills, not to everyone. Paul explicitly states in 1 Corinthians 12:30, "Do all speak in tongues?", implying the answer is no. This led to the second major error in Pentecostal theology, the distinction between "filled" and "not filled," a two-stage experience of the Holy Spirit. This perspective suggests that while all believers have the Holy Spirit, not all have experienced the subsequent "baptism in the Holy Spirit". This is not in the Bible: All believers in Jesus Christ possess the Holy Spirit, who dwells within them as a seal of salvation (Ephesians 1:13–14) and as a guide. Romans 8:9 states, "if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him". The Spirit is received upon salvation and empowers believers. The Bible is also clear that tongues is not the greater gift. This Pentecostal error has had some Pentecostal Churches, forcing (Coercion) some believers into "speaking in tongues". Going to church, one should not be coerced into acting in this way in public; this is very unkind to them.
Dispensationalism holds that all the "gifts of the Holy Spirit" ended with the apostles. This is NOT in the Bible. If the "gifts of the Holy Spirit" ended with the apostles, that would mean knowledge, wisdom, and distinguishing between spirits have ended! Dispensationalism has many other problems than just rejecting the "gifts of the Holy Spirit".
The gift of "tongues" is the most disputed gift. In the Book of Acts, the history of the early church tongues are recorded three time: Act 2:1-44 on the Day of Pentecost. Next to Gentiles at Cornelius's household, Acts 10:40-48. Last in Acts 19:1-7, to those that has heard of Jesus only through John the Baptist's teaching to prepare for the messiah, Jesus. These occurrences involved speaking in, or hearing, known languages (foreign tongues) to validate the message given. So tongues were not widespread in the early church.
Here is the full text that many Pentecostal and dispensationalists abuse:
1 Cor 12:5-27 "There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. 12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28 And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts."
Dispensationalism
Dispensationalism has a number of positions that are not biblical, and some that are a little outside the norm.
1) Dispensationalism holds that all the "gifts of the Holy Spirit" ended with the apostles. That would mean that knowledge, wisdom, and distinguishing between spirits have also ended. This teaching is un-biblical. Christians who have experienced miracles (when the laws of physics were temporarily suspended) prove that the dispensationalist position is wrong. See 1 Cor 12:5-27
2) They hold an un-biblical, distinction between Israel and the Church. Dispensationalism holds that the Church is now in a "mystery" Grace period, and God has paused all His working with Israel and His many last days promises to Israel, which dispensationalists say will resume after the Rapture. See Romans 11, i.e Romans 11:26) A clear example of God keeping his promise to Israel was the rebirth of Israel in 1948. So this is just not true.
3) Dispensationalism holds a pre-tribulation rapture. This is not necessarily un-Biblical, as others hold this view, like: American Fundamentalist Baptists and Pentecostals. The pre-tribulation rapture says that Jesus will remove the church from earth before a seven-year tribulation period. (problem second coming will happen twice problem, see 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, Matthew 24:29-30, Revelation 20:4-6..
4) Dispensationalism holds a premillennial interpretation of Christ’s second coming. This is not necessarily un-Biblical, as others hold this view, like: Baptists, Pentecostals, and various Reformed theologians.
5) No continuity, by putting hard dispensation (ages) on man and God, there is a lack of continuity in seeing that God has only one plan, that has always been salvation through faith (see the book of Hebrews) and Genesis 15:6. Dispensationalism teaches that the Bible presents different Salvations in the Old and New Testaments is not found in the Bible. This makes some think that God has a separate path of salvation for the Jewish people today, but there is only one: faith in Jesus Christ. Some Dispensationalists compartmentalize some Bible teachings, that is, thinking that some verses are not for all: Jews and Gentiles (Romans 1:16, Galatians 4:4-5, Galatians 3:28, 1 Corinthians 1:14) .
Is Dispensationalism Anti-Semitic? A Dispensationist will always say no. Some who study Dispensationalism see Anti-Semitic teaching in the claim that God is done with the Jews and the Nation of Israel, in this "Grace" dispensation. This is the "Church age" called the "Grace dispensation", as such Dispensationalism teach God is done with the Jews. Thus, the many promises God has given to the Jews, which will not occur much later in Dispensational teaching, are given to the Church. This is also called "replacement theology". Many Dispensationists claim that they are not "replacement theology" teachers. But this is just not true. By teaching that the Jews and the Nation of Israel's promises from God are not given till much later in history, they are by default teaching "replacement theology". Is this Anti-Semitic? Do not think Dispensationists hate Jews, so it would not be Anti-Semitic, just very bad theology, like much of Dispensationalism. In Romans 11:26, God’s promises, including those made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, remain valid. The Jewish people are not replaced by the Church, but remain distinct as the "natural branches" in God's olive tree. Romans 11, Gentile believers are warned not to be arrogant toward the natural branches, as the tree's support is the root, not the branches. Paul indicates that God is able and willing to graft the natural branches back into their own tree.
God has a plan for Israel, and God has a Plan for you!
