We define a cult as a religion which claims to be Christian while emptying Christianity of that which is essential to it. If Dispensationalism does this, then Dispensationalism is a cult and not a branch of the Christian church. It is as serious as that. It is impossible to exaggerate the gravity of the situation."

I don't think John MacArthur believes that Jews and Gentiles are saved differently. I think he believes that there are things in the last days that only Jews are part of.
Even Historical Premillenialists believe this to an extent, I have heard one argue that it is clear from Revelation 20 (not completely sure if I have the right chapter) that Gentiles are not included. Sorry, I don't remember the issue he was talking about; as it was quite some time ago.
Please understand I am not equating Historic Premillenialism with Dispensationalism; they are two different animals. yep
Perhaps Pilgrim has something to add to this?
