I do not accept Dispensationalism.
The typical term which applies to me is "Reformist" -- one who holds to
a different eschatology more closely associated with the Reformation. I
suppose a primary difference is that I regard Revelation not as
primarily a prophecy of The End Times, but more a revelation of how God
acts when certain situations arise. There are many anti-Christs, there
are many Beasts, etc. Each is a type, manifested repeatedly throughout
history. There is no literal Millenium, etc.
I can't quote statistics, but I am guessing that there are at least as
many evangelicals rejecting Dispensationalism as promoting it. I can
provide support for my position when asked, but I won't bother to
promote it. As you see, I merely mentioned it in passing.
