Greetings Jim, << Pardon me, but are you............>>?. The Bible is not primarily about dispensations but about Covenants. The people of God from both Old and New Testaments were those who were in Covenant with Him, that is those who had the faith of Abraham and believed the promise. As a beloved brother in Christ Jim, with the Lord as our witness, have you ever considered, or even thought it remotely possible, that your belief that God has in the New Covenant two separate peoples violates the Holy scriptures and grieves the Holy Spirit. Scripture fully endorses the fact that there is one people of God, Made up from ALL nations from this earth, called ,the Body of Christ, the Church, the New Jerusalem, the Israel of God. May the life changing Grace of God be yours without measure, to you and your family Jim, according to the desires of your heart

Who is being spoken to?

Revelation 1:
4 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne,
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

Romans 14:
17 For the kingdom of God IS not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy IN the Holy Spirit,
18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.

1 Cor. 4:
20 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

Gal. 5:
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Col. 1:
10 And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully
12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualifiED you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.
13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and BROUGHT us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

1 Thes. 2:
11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children,
12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.
