13. There was no eternal Covenant of Redemption within the Trinity.

19. Some Dispensationalists have said that O.T. sinners were saved by works.
20. Most Dispensationalists teach that men in the O.T. were saved by faith in a revelation peculiar to their Dispensation, but this did not include faith in the Messiah as their sin-bearer.
21. The O.T. sacrifices were not recognized as the Gospel or types of the Messiah as sin-bearer, but only seen as such in retrospect.

True of the ol' school, not for the new.

27. The Millennium is the Kingdom of God Dispensationalists are always Pre-Millennial and usually Pre-Tribulational.

And not every premillennialist is a dispey.

Dispensationalism is hard to nail down in a nice and tiddy list because every dispensationalist believes something different. I haven't seen a dispensational confession that dispensationalists can agree upon.
