You are very fortunate that you were not taught this. I was raised in the Dispensational Baptist tradition and I heard this view presented over and over again...
Ditto, ad nauseam.

What has happened, I believe, is that modern day theologians have begun seeing how bankrupt Classical Dispensationalism really is, and many so called Dispensationalists have abandoned certain ideas that were once central to their theology. This idea of the kingdom may be one of those issues.
There's probably no way to tell, but I wonder what percentage of the churches now would consider themselves classical dispensationalists and what percentage would consider themselves to be progressive?
I found an interesting article that Tim Warner wrote called
[u:3301c1d908]Progressive Dispensationalism 101 and 102.[/u:3301c1d908] In the article he contrasts classic dispensationalism with progressive dispensationalism. I must say that progressive dispensationalism is definitely (IMHO) much more worthy of consideration than classic dispensationalism, by far.

If you get a chance to read Tim Warner's short articles, I'd be curious if what he presents is the same as what you've been taught?
