John MacArthur's Teachings on Dispensationalism

The Theology of Zane Hodges, Joseph Dillow and the G.E.S - this is an extreme form of teaching within the dispensational camp. It divides the church into two distinct groups: 1) Those saved people who will not inherit the kingdom, and who will instead be cast into outer darkness; 2) Those saved people who will inherit the kingdom and who will reign with Christ. See also Those Who Do Not Inherit the Kingdom--Are They Saved or Unsaved (Z.Hodges and J.Dillow)
