This slime pit (Gen 14:10) is catching Bible believers by the thousands. The technique is a slick talk, with loads of Bible verses that end up discrediting all but certain parts of the Bible as being for the Christian.
This is a trap set for serious Bible advocates and students who are not being fed at church. Most Hypers usually begin home Bible studies and gloat about how pastors cannot see what they see. This builds a strong, proud spirit in the christian and finally fixes them in an entanglement of scripture that causes their own destruction 2Pet 3:16. For those who couldn't care less what the Bible says, this teaching has little danger of effecting you. The advocates of this false teaching pride themselves as "Bereans." If you do not know what a Berean is in the Bible, you are one step behind.
One can spot a Hyper-Dispensationalist by their words. Beware for Bible teachings that include the following language as the crux of their teaching:
"The mystery of the one body" "Paul, Paul, Paul, Paul" "Dispensation of the Grace of God" "Hidden Things" "Time Line" "Baptism not for this age" "Bema Seat" "my Gospel" "Secret Things" "Bereans."
Favorite verses used, without their context:
Deut 29:29, Rom 16:25, Gal 2:7, Eph 3:2 With an exclamation at 2 Peter 3:16 because they discovered their own predicament.
Men known to be involved in Hyper-Dispensationalism:
-Ethelbert Bullinger- Wrote the Companion Bible -J.C. O'Hare- Radio Preacher out of Chicago -Cornelius Stam -Richard Jordan -Terence D. McLean -Les Feldick
Note - Hyper-Dispensationalist rarely agree amongst themselves. They are bent on finding mysteries that others missed concerning Church doctrine and God's will for the Christian.
While professing to be strictly "Pauline" they are nothing of the sort. Their only "pauline" characteristics is home Church- which just happens to remove the offices of Bishop and deacons (a pauline teaching) and they like to work a secular job because Paul was a tent maker.
Their point is "the mystery of the revelation" of the "one body"; to figure out when the "body" (the Church) started; what Bible verses we should accept and what verses we should disregard as being for some other "Body." They, like a Calvinist, sink themselves in Ephesians chapter one and never recover.
A Hyper-Dispensationist is very convincing and a smooth talker. They make some of the best in-depth Bible teachers. They just teach it all messed up. Someone who loves Bible teaching could listen to them for hours. Be informed, and come out from among them!

All Hypers teach two bodies when the mystery is one! Eph 2:16; Eph 4:4; Col 3:15;

What they teach
How to Answer Point #1
Compare scripture with scripture
A Hyper-dispensationalist capitalizes on Eph 3:2 without introducing the student to Col 1:25. If a dispensation is a "period of time" then God gave Paul a period of time called "God" in Col 1:25.
(Eph 3:2) If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
(Col 1:25) Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
What is Right
Never is a dispensation a period of time. A dispensation is simply the way in which God dishes something out. Something being dispensed. As in, giving out, or measuring out. God does dispense things differently at different times.
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners. . .
However, It is very plain what God dispensed to Paul. God dispensed a measure of the Gospel (1 Cor 9:17) and the Grace to go with it, not a period of time called the grace of God. That is to twist the verse completely. This dispensing does happen “in time” but is not a period of time. The Bible verses that deal with time periods are Eph_2:7; Eph_3:5; Eph_3:21; Col_1:26;
Where's the Proof? In the context let's look at Eph 3:7 It is as plain as the nose on your face.
Eph 3:7 ...the gift of the grace of God given unto me...
(Eph 3:2) ...the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me...
In the context the dispensation is the Gift of God!
Try that definition by "Paul himself" back into Col 1:25 and see what you get. These folks would try to correct Paul if they could, and their line of corrupt thought did exist in Pauls day. 1 Cor 1:12
Hypers get all confused because we (2009) are living in the age of the revelation of the mysteries, which detail a better way of salvation than was found in the Old testament. Jesus Christ, not Paul, is the end of the law Rom 10:4. It is true that most Churches do not properly separate and divide the scriptures as instructed and therefore do not properly understand Works/Faith; Grace/Law; Spirit/Flesh. There are seven mysteries revealed to the Body of Christ and most preachers have no idea what they are much less teach them. These mysteries (1 Cor 4:1, Eph 1:9) of Christ were hidden but are now made known Rom 16:26. However, we are not in the age of complete revelation that is yet to come. 1 Cor 13:12, Eph 1:10.
NOTE: Hypers exagerate the fact that Paul says "my" Gospel. See Rom 16:25, but fail to follow Paul's example in Acts 20:27 by shunning to tell their students that he also says "our" Gospel the same number of times.
(2Co 4:3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
(1Th 1:5) For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
(2Th 2:14) Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul says that God dispensed grace to him so that he might fulfill (Col 1:25) his calling in taking the newly revealed mysteries of the gospel to the Gentile world. This was needed for three obvious reasons. 1. The pagan world was dangerous. 2. Paul was a JEW not a gentile. 3. Paul had been a blasphemer, and injurious. 1 Tim 1:13-14. Act 15:25-26
Secondly- Hyper-dispensationalist can't figure out when this so-called special Pauline time period began, and they all have to lie and cover up the fact that Paul did not start this period of time himself. Most people do not know that these folks believe that Peter did not understand salvation by grace. For now allow me to show you how desperate one can be to hide their dirty secret that the Church existed before Paul was saved.
Below is an example of how these false teachers misrepresent the truth with smooth talk. I am going to compare what, Hyper-Dispensational teacher, Les Feldick says in his teaching book 37 to what he says in his teaching book 25.
Pastor Sumner's comments are in blue print, as well as, all emphasis whether enlarged, bolded or underlined words and phrases.

Lesson One • Part III Book 37 Paul Dispenses Grace - Ephesians 3:1-7
Now we’re into an area of Scripture that a lackadaisical Christian won’t get into. But for those of you who really love the Word, and love the Lord, and love to study...
This is his target audience! This creates the foundation that if I REALLY LOVE the WORD I will accept what he is saying and if I don't then I am Lackadaisical!
Now what in the world can he be talking about unless it’s something that had never before been revealed. This is the idea then of the revelations of the mystery. All right let’s go back to Romans so we can put some other Scripture verses with this. Romans is the foundational Book of Paul’s letters so far as doctrine in concerned. And yet Romans does not relay some of these deeper things that we’re already seeing in Ephesians, but he does make one reference to all this in his closing remarks in chapter 16.
Les says that Romans is a foundational doctrine book, but he only means one pet verse. He tries to establish that Romans is lacking in deeper things. Hypers have to tiptoe through Romans with a butcher knife ready to cut out anything they don't like. They pretend that Paul was lacking in revelation at the time he wrote Romans. Even though the verse he is talking about and getting ready to quote at the END of Romans says that Paul had the revelation already!
This is a verse that I’ll refer to time and time again, (like a broken record) because it says so much that most of Christendom hears nothing of. And why preachers and teachers avoid it I’ll never know, but I would love for people to just call me if they hear a sermon on Romans 16:25, because I’d like to know about it. So those of you out there who are pastors and are listening to me, goodness sake preach a sermon now and then on this verse, because this is what people have to hear.
I am getting ready to show you what Les does with this verse when he gets to Romans 16 in his teaching book. He does not even mention it. As a pastor, I would never preach a message on Romans 16:25 because it has an unclear message by itself and doesn't say what Les thinks it says. Also these False teachers are always looking for a way to get the offering that belongs to a Church with real leadership, and missionaries.
Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery,
Now let me show you what dis-honest Les does in his teaching on Romans chapter 16:
Les uses Romans 16:25 as a main doctrinal verse that all his teaching revolves around! But watch what happens when he teaches Romans 16. You will not believe your eyes! The hand is quicker than the eye. Watch the Birdie!
The complete commentary on Romans chapter 16 is found in book 25. The complete commentary is marked below in Purple.
Through the Bible with Les Feldick, Book 25 LESSON THREE * PART IV OUR LOGICAL INTELLIGENT SERVICE - ROMANS 12 PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN LIVING - ROMANS 13-16
Well in the couple of minutes that we have left, Paul now comes into Chapter 16, and there's not a lot of doctrine in this chapter unless you want to call women's role in Christian service as doctrine, and I guess it is. You know I've heard Paul castigated over the years. A group of feminists down at the university were trying their utmost to get all the Bibles off the campus. And it was for the simple reason that Paul was such an anti-feminist. Well bless their heart, they were so ignorant. There is not a man in Scripture that gives more commendation to the female of the species than the Apostle Paul. I think in this Chapter 16 alone there are at least 8 women that Paul enumerates who were intrinsic in helping him in the ministry. In fact, in verse 1 of this epistle to the Romans (one of the most important books of our Bible), do you know that this was entrusted to a women to get it to where it was supposed to go? Yes it was, look what it says:
Romans 16:1,2 "I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea (a seaport east of Corinth's main city): That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also."
In other words, Paul sends this tremendous epistle of Romans from Corinth to the Roman Church by way of this lady we know as Phebe. Probably a business lady, but he entrusted this to a woman, and all the way through the chapter (this is a blatant overstatement. It is the way they get away with lying, they manipulate the truth with over or under exaggerations) he commends over and over the women who helped him much in the ministry. Don't ever say there's not a place for the women in the Church.
End!
That's it folks! That was the whole teaching on Romans 16! Two verses! What!? Why skip Romans 16 Les? He just lied and said there is not a lot of doctrine in this chapter, when earlier he admitted the main verse that he uses "time and time again" is in this chapter and said “listening to me, goodness sake preach a sermon now and then on this verse, because this is what people have to hear.”
Here lies the problem with every Hyper. They manipulate the minds of their students to think they are sincere and no one else is, then they bombard them with scripture with a keen mind when to over emphasize a word and when to conceal others. This tactic completely fakes the student out.
Let's look at Romans chapter 16 and see what insignificant information it contains as far as Les is concerned. (Les is probably following the example of what ever hyper he is following. No! God did not give him these revelations because he is a simple Oklahoma cattle rancher, that’s just meant to make you warm and fuzzy.) I will mark the words Les wanted to hide. IN RED
Romans 16
Rom 16:1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: Rom 16:2 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also. Rom 16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Rom 16:4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. Rom 16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. Rom 16:6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. Rom 16:7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
My, My! Les is trying to hide the existence of the Church before Paul’s conversion! Les teaches that the Church did not start until Paul. This is crazy unbiblical garbage. Hypers teach 2 bodies which is contrary to the mystery that Paul actually revealed.
Rom 16:8 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. Rom 16:9 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. Rom 16:10 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household. Rom 16:11 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord. Rom 16:12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord. Rom 16:13 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. Rom 16:14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them. Rom 16:15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them. Rom 16:16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Rom 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Mark them which cause “divisions…contrary.” There is a right way and a wrong way to divide the scriptures. The bible is the only book in the world that must be “rightly divided” to produce unity but is never divided against itself, unless you give it to a Hyper and they create mysteries and revelations that don’t exist. These two verses hit every Hyper right at the heart of the matter. No doctrine here says Les Feldick.
Rom 16:19 For your obedience (Hypers hate words like works or obedience, because they refuse to do anything but wrestle with mysteries that they invent to their own destruction. You won’t catch a Hyper giving out a tract unless it is promoting their false teaching. The only obedience they teach is obeying their doctrine.) is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
Rom 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Rom 16:21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. Rom 16:22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord. Rom 16:23 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother. Rom 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Rom 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Paul uses the expression “my gospel” 3 times; Therefore, Hypers pretend that the right gospel was hid from everybody but them and Paul. More than that, they will never tell their unsuspecting students that Paul uses the expression “our gospel” 3 times. 2Co 4:3; 1Th 1:5; 2Th 2:14;
This next verse is one never mentioned; it again, would take the life out of his false teaching for it explains by what means the secret was made known.
Rom 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Les teaches that it is now made manifest by Paul alone via his own ministry alone! This is first class nonsense and demonstrates that these folks are not “Bereans.” Bereans were more noble; they searched the scriptures to see if these things were so. Acts 17:11 Hypers deny verse 26 and even deny that the Old Testament contains information about the Church, even though that's the purpose of being a Berean!
Rom 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
Hyper-Dispensationalist use the Bible to divide people, find followers, discredit legitimate pastors, and to eventually bankrupt the mind of their students while they believe they know more than anyone else.
AVOID THEM!
