as a Christian he can only do to me what God allows and he can never cause me to lose my salvation.

Was that true before the crucifixion and resurrection? Or have things changed now that Christ has defeated Satan on the cross?

There is a difference between the nation of Israel and spiritual Israel. All men everywhere today are called to kneel to Christ alone. Nothing is postponed.

I don't think dispensationalists realize how much they devalue Christ's sacrifice, as if it wasn't finished. As if it didn't conquer death and sin.

"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men" -- Titus 2:11

None is without excuse. But by the grace of God all those who have been reborn in order to love His appearing have been snatched from Satan and stamped with His signet of adoption.

The Gentiles have received The Gospel. It doesn't coincide that Satan is bound and in prison.

I've never heard any Christian claim otherwise. However, I think you are reaching with the spiritual Israel. If God is done with the Jews and given all the benefits to Christians why has God partially blinded them?

Let me ask, prior to the crucifixion how were people saved and was that salvation limited to any one group?
