There are 7 dispensations in the bible:

Innocence
Human Conscience
Human Government
Promise
Law
Grace
Kingdom

Human Conscience began when Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

For those of you who may not know, dispensation means household economy. It is how God deals with man in different times in human history. But man is always saved by God's grace through man's faith in believing God's word.


Dooley, I forgot to address your remark about the book of James. James wrote how saving faith should produce good works, not how we are saved by our works. Martin Luther did not understand the book of James either.
