Could you give an example of a dispensational-leaning church that officially teaches that?
It is a necessary and logical consequence of the classic Scofieldian view that salvation of Jews in the OT was by works and the Church in the NT is a parenthetical point in history where grace by faith is the rule, but that later Israel returns to reclaim its primacy.

Modern dispensationalism often radically softens this view, and is slowly coming to a much healthier view of Israel and the Church, but this dichotomy is still there.
