Do I understand from your tongue biting that you haven't got much time for dispensationalism full stop? Let alone any Messianic flavour?
I was wondering personally if the basic reformed doctrines conflict with dispensationalism. I cannot prove it but I would be inclined to think they would.
We've had several discussions, one just recently on the compatibility of Dispensationalism vs. Calvinism. There can be no doubt that "full-blown" classic Darbyism/Scofieldism is incompatible with Calvinism. However, unlike some, I can accept those who hold to a "Dispy-Lite" form of Dispensationalism, e.g., John MacArthur &co. I simply cannot put that position in the same camp with Classic Dispensationalism, although I certainly reject it on it's own demerits. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

This Arnold Fruchtenbaum appears to hold to a type of "Dispy-Lite" view from what I was able to discern from his Doctrinal Statement. And since that was my first exposure to him and his ministry, I would be unfair to form more than an opinion at this point.

In His Grace,
