This third point is the one that probably has had the most influence on me as far as moving away from dispensational premil. and, tentatively, amil. The only way I can see a millennium after Christ's coming is if the church is a temporary institution, as in dispensationalism, and there is a whole different class/group of redeemed who are actually not part of the church but are, as I used to refer to them, "millennial saints." I can't really reconcile that with the emphasis in the N.T. that the church is the true, spiritual people of God and the sum total of the redeemed, for whom Christ died.
