Things That Differ: Ten Bible Distinctions That Prevent False Doctrine is a complete KJV-based study of the doctrinal divisions every serious Bible student must recognize to rightly divide the word of truth. Across ten detailed essays, the series distinguishes Israel from the Church, law from grace, salvation from discipleship, standing from state, the Rapture from the Second Advent, and the Judgment Seat of Christ from the Great White Throne. It also examines the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God, water baptism and Spirit baptism, the gospel of the kingdom and Paul’s gospel of grace, and eternal life and faithful Christian service. Each study establishes the proper biblical audience, covenant, dispensation, purpose, and application of the passages examined. Readers will learn how false doctrine often develops when a true verse is assigned to the wrong people or period, while gaining a clearer understanding of salvation, prophecy, eternal security, Christian accountability, Israel’s future, and the Church’s heavenly calling.
This complete ten-essay series examines the dispensations of God and demonstrates how the unchanging God progressively revealed different instructions, covenants, responsibilities, signs, and promises throughout biblical history. Beginning with Adam under innocence, the study follows mankind through conscience, human government, the Abrahamic promises, Israel beneath the Mosaic law, the transitional events recorded in Acts, the present dispensation of grace, and the future millennial kingdom of Jesus Christ. Using the King James Bible throughout, the series explains what a dispensation is, why progressive revelation does not contradict God’s unchanging character, and how rightly dividing Scripture protects every verse from doctrinal confusion. Particular attention is given to the distinction between Israel and the body of Christ, law and grace, earthly and heavenly promises, salvation and Christian service, the kingdom gospel and Paul’s gospel, apostolic signs and completed revelation, the Rapture and the Second Advent, and historical interpretation, doctrinal application, and spiritual application. The concluding study answers the accusation that dispensational truth teaches multiple saviours by distinguishing the eternal basis of redemption from the amount of truth revealed and the expression of faith required under each stewardship. Readers will finish the series better equipped to believe every verse, recognize
