If they get past the R.A.T.S. (Reformed Arrogance and Theological Snobbery) and actually listen to what you have to say, you'll find quite a few will actually AGREE with you. Unfortunately, if your attitude and approach here are any indication of how you approach them, it's not so much what you say but HOW you deliver it.

I've made a concerted effort to be a lot more graceful in my presentation - even with theology that is damnable. Let the offense come from truth, not from my presentation of it.

A little wisdom from my own interactions with plenty of non-Calvinist-dispensational folks who've moved over to being Calvinists or are 'on their way' over from the past 2 years. You can be as right as you'd like to be a still not be heard.
So you don't disagree with what I said, you just don't think that dispys will like the way I said it. Fair enough. The comment was not for dispys.

BTW, are you saying that you view dispensationalism as a damnable heresy?
