All Baptists maintain a distinction between Israel and the Church therefore they are all dispensational.

Excuse me? Beg your pardon? Surely you are jesting?
A better and more accurate statement would be some Baptists maintain a distinction between Israel and the Church and those that do are Dispensational according to the classic definition of the word.

I, as a Reformed Baptist, and a post-millenialist, do not maintain a distinction between Israel and the Church. Neither did Spurgeon who was a Historic Pre-millenialist.

A Reformed Baptist insists upon a pure Church (believers baptism). The nation of Israel was not pure (believers only) so how can it be called the Church (by Baptist) in a consistent way it can't and this leads to a sometimes subtle difference between the Testaments.
