How can you know you’re saved if you’re not exhibiting the signs in column 4?

Once you’ve taken the step of faith to believe…can you lose your salvation? Circle the column the best describes your thoughts on the subject?

Dispensationalism:
This is the teaching that how God acts toward mankind, and how he expects us to respond to him, changes through the Bible as he reveals his will.
Groups that see a difference in God’s operations (though not a change in God himself) are being dispensational.
If they claim a difference in Israel and the Church (with a future for both), Law and Grace, or Prophecy and Mystery then they would be dispensational.

Acts 2 Dispensational
Acts 2 dispensationalists see the church as a fulfillment of at least some Old Testament prophecies.
They claim the church began at the Jewish feast day of Pentecost when the believers there were baptized with the Holy Ghost.
To them, Israel will be restored, but Christ came in Matt-John to establish the church of today. They believe Peter and Paul taught the same gospel regarding Christ. They
would take all of the new testament scriptures as applicable to the church. (HOPEFULLY ONE CAN SEE FROM THE SPIRITUAL SELF ASSESSMENT ALL THE
CONTRADICTIONS IN SCRIPTURE WITH THIS APPROACH). (THIS IS WHY WE HAVE SO MANY DENOMINATIONS!)
If a dispensationalist says Peter and Paul were sent to preach the same thing, they are an Acts 2 dispensationalist.

Mid-Acts Dispensational–Interpretation of Spiritual Self-Assessment – How often did you choose Jesus’s revelations to Paul…Rom thru Philemon?
Mid-Acts dispensationalists teach that the church is not a fulfillment of either the old or new testaments. (2 Cor 12:1) (1 Cor 14:37)
We claim that the church of today began with Paul as he was first given the preaching of the cross to proclaim as the gospel, and the mystery of Christ and his church.
Paul was saved and began his ministry during the book of Acts. His gospel was always different than that of Jesus in his ministry to Israel (Matt-John), and Peter in Acts 2.
Paul was revealed a mystery from Christ, but it was early in his ministry, and he taught the same message of the gospel of Christ, the mystery of Christ and the church,
throughout his ministry The doctrine for the church today is found in all of Paul’s epistles, (Romans thru Philemon) although there are times when Paul addresses and
speaks to Israel, the little flock, and the unsaved.

Acts 28 Dispensational
There is a much smaller group who we will identify as Acts 28 dispensationalists. They do not think the church of today fulfills any Old Testament prophecies. They
claim that the church of today did not begin until God revealed it to Paul, but it was not made known by Paul during his ministry before Acts 28. To them, Jesus’ ministry
was to Israel, Peter’s ministry was to Israel, and Paul’s ministry in the book of Acts was part of Israel’s program that included Gentiles. They teach that it was not until
after the sign gifts and powers ceased (Acts 28) that Paul began to preach the mystery concerning the church.
They take Paul’s later epistles as solely applicable to the church today containing the new revelation of the mystery given to Paul presumably after Acts 28 (Ephesians,
Colossians, Philippians, Philemon, Timothy, and Titus).
They teach that Paul’s early epistles do not include any mystery information about the church revealed in his later epistles and are not for the church today (Romans,
Corinthians, Galatians, and Thessalonians).
If someone says that Paul was sent to preach two different messages, one was prophecy, one was mystery; they are Acts 28 dispensationalists (or a distorted variety of
such).

3 Questions. 1.) Was salvation sent to the gentiles because of Isr. acceptance of Christ, or because of her rejection of Christ? Is it going to the gentiles on the basis of the
Abrahamic covenant or by grace? Is it going according to prophecy or mystery? Rom 11:11, 12,15,25.
