Although Moody became dispensational in the 1870s he did not agree with unconditional election as supported by Darby. Darby came to Chicago to debate Dwight on that topic (1872?) and after the opening line by Darby from Romans 9: 'it is not man who runs or wills but God who has mercy...'

Moody came back with John 3:16: 'that whosoever believes on Him...'
At that point Darby closed his bible and walked off the stage.
Darby made a comment, off the top of my head, that went something like, "I came to discuss the Bible not teach him how to think..." or something similar.
