None dispensational? Some brothers say they teach none dispensationalism for years and yet people mis- represent them.
Definition of dispensationalism
: adherence to or advocacy of a system of interpreting history in terms of a series of God's dispensations.
"A dispensation is a way of ordering things—an administration, a system, or a management. In theology, a dispensation is the divine administration of a period of time; each dispensation is a divinely appointed age. Dispensationalism is a theological system that recognizes these ages ordained by God to order the affairs of the world. Dispensationalism has two primary distinctives: 1) a consistently literal interpretation of Scripture, especially Bible prophecy, and 2) a view of the uniqueness of Israel as separate from the Church in God’s program. Classical dispensationalism identifies seven dispensations in God’s plan for humanity."

Certain brother said that he that winneth souls is wise has nothing to do with the gospel. I believe he believes that organized biblical churches have taken this out of context to make a following and build bigger church buildings. He says it's talking about a winning personality and being outgoing.
( character ) He said King Solomon did not have the Gospels of Jesus Christ.
Let's have a little look...
"Evangelism is not soul-winning. Evangelism is simply announcing, declaring, or preaching the good news, glad tidings, or the person of Christ Himself. The Gospel is sometimes expressed as the embodiment of a person, namely the Messiah, but never expressed apart from him. The God Message and the God-Man are always connected. The Gospel is always the person of Christ, and His message. To proclaim Christ and His message is evangelism." Rawgod.com
"They were to be a Kingdom of Priests AND a Holy Nation with a message. Exodus 19:6Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)" Rawgod.com
"The Lord promised Abraham that He would make him into a great nation, that He would bless him and that Abraham would be a blessing. The promise ends with these words: “… and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Gen. 12:3Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)) I think it’s impossible to assume that simple existence (being light) was sufficient enough to be considered evangelism, but that “being a blessing” begins to approach it. Simple perseverance as a people of God without persistence in the proclamation of Him to others was never God’s way." Rawgod com
"King Solomon "excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom" according to the Bible. The son of King David and Bathsheba, Solomon (in Hebrew, Shlomo) ruled Israel from about 960 to 922 B.C. and built a magnificent temple in Jerusalem which housed the Ark of the Covenant." Rawgod.com
"Much the same for us today in the New Testament era, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9" Rawgod.com
"God Himself is the Archetypal Evangelist. Paul, in his letter to the Galatians said;
For because God knew beforehand that the nations are made right by faith, he preached The Good News to Abraham beforehand, as The Holy Scriptures say: “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” (Galatians 3:8)
And later: You can go read the whole article yourself and I just took some things out to make my point.
Biblical evangelism is not the same as soul winning although they are taken as the same thing. And the author of the article that I am referring to here explains it. And here is a comment a person left that has great points.

" Thanks for you comments and the latter is exactly what this post is about. If we are so engrained in the concept of soul-winning as it is acted out today then we become much more concerned about winning than the soul that needs to be brought to Christ. We can win arguments, win debates, win concessions to emotional pleas, and even win decisions to follow Christ that come to naught because of the manner in which they were won and the attitude that we transmitted in the process. But, that is the purpose of this post, to discuss it. Thanks for your secondary reflection ."
And I'm going to leave you with what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9
1 Corinthians 9:19-22
King James Version
19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some .

The kingdom of God can mean the kingdom of heaven but the Kingdom of Heaven can never mean the kingdom of God according to this brother
This brother said every time the Kingdom of Heaven appears in the Book of Matthew it is always a reference to the physical Kingdom on Earth that Jesus one day will rule from this earth on this earth from Jerusalem. . The Kingdom of Heaven every time it appears in the Book of Matthew is referring to the physical visible Kingdom on Earth that Jesus Christ will one day rule. The kingdom of God could either mean this or fellowship with the Holy Ghost according to this brother. Jesus offers the kingdom but they reject Jesus as their King nationally according to his brother. This brother said the Kingdom of Heaven never means the kingdom of God.
For example in conclusion talking about dispensationism is that when I bring this up it is because a disciple in Christ recently discussed this. And there are different views and so I just wanted to clarify. 8:44 a.m. June 26, 2022

"there was a covenant between them that her name was never to be mentioned"
What is the new covenant and why is it important?
"Christians view the New Covenant as a new relationship between God and humans mediated by Jesus upon sincere declaration that one believes in Jesus Christ as Lord and God."
"The New Covenant (or New Testament) is the promise that God makes with humanity that He will forgive sin and restore fellowship with those whose hearts are turned toward Him. Jesus Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant, and His death on the cross is the basis of the promise (Luke 22:20). The New Covenant was predicted while the Old Covenant was still in effect—the prophets Moses, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel all allude to the New Covenant."

What did Paul the Apostle really mean by pray without ceasing ?
"Paul’s command in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to “pray without ceasing,” can be confusing. Obviously, it cannot mean we are to be in a head-bowed, eyes-closed posture all day long. Paul is not referring to non-stop talking, but rather an attitude of God-consciousness and God-surrender that we carry with us all the time. Every waking moment is to be lived in an awareness that God is with us and that He is actively involved and engaged in our thoughts and actions."

The kingdom of God is within you what does it r.eally mean? As I understand it this is also taken out of context
"The King James Version sometimes uses testament for covenant, with the words new covenant together only occurring in Hebrews 8:8, 8:13 and 12:24 while in the New International Version "new covenant" occurs at Luke 22:20, 1 Corinthians 11:25, 2 Corinthians 3:6, Hebrews 8:8, Hebrews 9:15 and Hebrews 12:24 "
Importance of Jesus' Words
"The Kingdom of God is Within You" is the key phrase in Luke 17:21 which inspires the idea of non-violence . Jesus says, "for, behold, the kingdom of God (or Heaven, as is sometimes translated) is within you" in response to the Pharisees asking when the Kingdom of God will come.
"In Luke 17:20–21 , Jesus says, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” (NKJV). The context of Jesus’ statement is a question put to Him by His Pharisee detractors who had asked when the kingdom of God would come (verse 20)." Credit got question
"Jesus’ answer was that the kingdom of God was not coming in the manner the Pharisees were expecting. The kingdom would not be inaugurated with spectacle or splendor; there would be no great and magnificent leader who staked out a geographical claim and routed the Romans; rather, the kingdom would come silently and unseen, much as leaven works in a batch of dough (see Matthew 13:33 ). In fact, Jesus says, the kingdom had already begun, right under the Pharisees’ noses. God was ruling in the hearts of some people, and the King Himself was standing among them, although the Pharisees were oblivious to that fact." Credit got question.
I've heard one brother refer to this as it is around you and it is non-violence of course.
In search here is a very interesting top answer.
If heaven is His throne, and the earth is His footstool
And since the earth is suspended within the heavens itself. And all things then, consists within Him. ( For nothing is outside Of Him, neither beyond Him, neither over Him neither under Him).
Then every kingdom, principalities and dominions must be with king.
And since He Is The King Of all He has created.
Then be sure the kingdom of heaven must be referring to the most important of all, The King Of all His kingdom which heaven and earth is, and not just the kingdom of heaven which the earth is a part of, without it's King.
Surely then, Ha AHAYA, Ha Alahayam, Our Father, He And He Alone Is That! Greatest through His Only begotten Ban, revealed in us. With all Truth by faith to have faith in, according to All His Word.
If all His Splendour, and AweSome, which cannot be told of by man, except through Ha Mashaiach, His Only begotten Ban, That! He Alone Is, and known within us, then surely all that is in Him, His creation is in us, that knowledge of the kingdom of heaven and Most Of All The King! Is Sure in us.
As it is in His Only begotten Ban, Who Is in His Ab, and His Ab in Him, and He in Him in us.
Can we deny in the fullness of time to come then, that the kingdom of heaven will not be in us?
Is The King forgotten? He Who, That Is, The Only And King, of all the heavens and the earth that He Alone created . "
In my after notes Christ said he and the father will come and live in the believer and that is a relationship. He is the vine believers are the branches. He also said "my sheep hear my voice and they listen to me." You need to read the Bible and understand/believe what is written. Some things are not easily understood and they are sometimes misunderstood or taken out of context. But the thief on the cross or even the prostitute we're simple people. You don't have to have a PhD in anything to be saved. Your heart has to be right with God. You know I love pets but some people it seems they have more a relationship with their pet than they do with the true God who created them and gave them life. Some people have more of a relationship with worldly icons that are into derogatory movies or derogatory music. That will corrupt your relationship and close the door. You see the real way is a straight gate. Honesty, repentance, belief in faith in the biblical Lord Jesus Christ is strongly recommended. That means you forgive others but you don't walk in the broad way of sin. The Bible says You must be born again in John 3:3.
