“The majority of dispensationalists are known as Acts 2 dispensationalists. They believe the present church began on the day of Pentecost in Acts
chapter 2 and practice water baptism. The majority also believe the New Testament epistles of Hebrews through Revelation were written directly to the present church. Likewise, most dispensationalists also believe the doctrine contained in the Four Gospels also pertains to the present church.”
“However, there are two minority camps within dispensationalism branded by their opponents as hyper-dispensationalists and ultra-dispensationalists. One camp, known as the Mid-Acts view, believes the church began with the Apostle Paul (in either Acts chapter 9 or others in chapter 13 and there are a very few variations) and do not practice water baptism as it is seen as only for Israel. The second camp believes that the church began with the Apostle Paul after Acts 28:28 with Paul’s announcement “Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it” and see both water baptism and the Lord’s Supper as only for Israel. [4] The Acts 28 camp sees Paul’s ministry from the middle of Acts to the end of the book as part of Israel’s administration of the Abrahamic Covenant and not part of the present dispensation, and consequently Paul’s epistles written prior to the so-called Prison Epistles are then not directly for the church today either.”
