Hi to all and there are alot of people that question Dispensationalism !!
DISPENSATION /OIKONOMIA means House Rule !!
OIKOS means House !!
NOMOS means Rule !!
Check VINE'S and see !!
Pauline dispensationalism , teaches OSAS in many bible passages !!
In Eph 2:5 and 8 we have the same phraseology !!
" HAVING BEEN SAVED " and the Greek word SOZO in these passages is in the Greek Perfect Tense , Passive Voice and a Participle !!
In the KJV it is translated " are you " is also in the Present Tense , meaning that it is a Continous action , that never stops !!
#1 , And the correct translation in Eph 2:8 is " For by Grace you are HAVING BEEN SAVED through faith , and this is not from yourselves , ( it is ) the gift of God " .
#2 , The Participle is the word " HAVING ".
#3 , The Passive Voice means that God is DOING the saving and man does not have a hand in it !!
#4 , The Perfect Tense speaks to when you were saved in the AORIST tense or in Past time !!
And the Perfect Tense also includes the Present Tense which is a CONTINUING action and this means you will Only be a New Creation one time and as a Phyical birth happens one time .
This is just instance where OSAS is in the bible !!
