A select handful of some core, basic tenets of Reformed Dispensationalism:
1) A commitment to a literal, grammatical, historical hermeneutic which leads us to gladly embrace;
a. The active obedience of Christ.
b. Particular redemption.
c. The future restoration of Israel.

And (4): represent your opponents accurately.
Hope to see you get there.
It is sad to see, even after private calls, that you still continue to misrepresent us.
Remarkably doing so while posturing the mature navigation of controversy.

The debate as to whether Baptists are Reformed has returned in force today on X.
(We know a little of what it means to be viewed as utterly oxymoronic too).

“The church today desperately needs preachers whose private prayers season their pulpit messages,
“and who continually remind themselves that awakening, heart-engaging, life-transforming preaching
“does not depend on ministerial eloquence, self-generated passion, or powers of persuasion,
“but on the sovereign good pleasure of God operating through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.”
— Joel Beeke

Prove Matthew wrong….
The fact that the most leading minds in Reformed covenant theology (Owen, Witsius, Brakel, Hodge, Et. al) believed in a future restoration of ethic Israel into their land before the Second Coming means that Covenant Theology cannot be so tightly guard railed as some want.

You can be dispensational and not:
a) blindly affirm secular state Israel,
b) believe weird things such as the Sermon on the Mount is for Israel only,
c) believe that faith precedes regeneration,
d) deny Active Obedience.
It is called Reformed Dispensationalism.

“The covenants of covenant theology are not what’s most important. As mentioned, three covenants have been affirmed in covenant theology— 1 covenant of redemption; 2 covenant of works; 3 covenant of grace.”

Also, some dispensationalists have affirmed one or all three of these covenants while remaining dispensationalists.”

“The righteousness of Christ (in his obedience and suffering for us) imputed unto believers, as they are united unto him by his Spirit, is that righteousness whereon they are justified before God.”

Listen to this also.
This is Christianity: He [i.e., Jesus] imputes His life to the believing Christian.
