From Wiki:

Dispensationalism is a religious interpretive system and metanarrative for the Bible. It considers biblical history as divided by God into dispensations, defined periods or ages to which God has allotted distinctive administrative principles. According to dispensationalism, each age of God's plan is thus administered in a certain way, and humanity is held responsible as a steward during that time. Dispensationalists' presuppositions start with the inductive reasoning that biblical history has a particular discontinuity in the way God reacts to humanity in the unfolding of their, sometimes supposed, free wills.

In my opinion, all one has to do is read Scripture. The New Testament is abundantly clear that God's reaction (and interaction) with humanity was different with Adam, Noah, and Moses - and that in this present age since the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, we are in a unique age of Grace.

Dispensationalism is a big word that I doubt even most Christians understand or even care to research. But if you are a believer in Christ, you understand it through the discernment of the Holy Spirit. There is so much evidence of Scripture of it's core tenants that I really don't understand how someone can call themselves a Christian, read the verses outlined and explained in the link below, and reject it.

Dispensationalism is an innovation from the 1830s. It is not the Christianity of the Apostles nor of the church Fathers nor of Luther nor of Catholicism (Orthodox or Roman).
