Dispensationalists, like conservatives, come in different varieties. Also like conservatives, they are used to intense debate among themselves regarding their beliefs—including who has a right to the label.

One thing all dispensationalists have in common is that we are almost universally misunderstood—and sometimes even maligned—by evangelical Christians who are not dispensationalists.

Mark A. Swedberg has been a Baptist missionary in Brazil for more than 30 years. He currently resides in the city of Natal, where he teaches systematic theology and church history at a Bible school.
