Choir,

In you profile you say you reject the millennial kingdom. So why be doubletongued? The dividing of spirit, soul and body is clearly given in Scripture. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Heb. 4.12). 1 Thess. 5.23 affirms our 3 components to our being: "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

The bipartite view of man is a fallen view of man as Satan tries to confuse the soul with the spirit. When you read Scripture you find the 3 operations of our spirit: intuition, communion, and conscience. Our soul is shown to also have 3 functions: mind, will and emotion. Why is it important to divide our spirit, soul and body? Because God wants us to walk by the spirit, but if you don't know what your spirit is, you may confuse it with your mind, will and emotion. You may think God is telling you to walk by your emotion primarily, or your will, whereas God is telling us to walk by the intuition of our spirit. God is concerned first with our conscience, not the headiness of your soul.

Dispensationalism is premillennialism. This has always been taught in Scripture from the 1st and 2nd century called "chiliasm".
