As I understand it, the dispensations, as Dispensationalists understand the term, are periods of time during which not only the administration, but also the substance of God's plan of redemption has changed. Reformed/Covenant Theologians recognize a change in administration, but the substance of the covenant is the same. I don't think that the question of cessationism relates to this specifically.
