Was Paul Acts 2, Mid Acts, Acts 28 or None of the Above?

      Among Dispensationalists and Right Dividers the battle lines have been drawn between the Acts 2, Mid Acts, and Acts 28 Dispensational positions.  Since most Right Dividers agree that Paul is our apostle, I would like to ask, "Does Paul ever take a hard line dispensational position?"  From my study in Acts and Paul's epistles I never see Paul demanding someone draw a line at Acts 2, Acts 9 or 13, Acts 20, or Acts 28.  The book of Acts is progressive revelation all the way through to Acts 28.  Since Paul did not write all his epistles during Acts, the progression of revelation continued even after Acts 28.  In light of this I do not think God expects Right Dividers to draw a hard line anywhere in the book of Acts.  As most of you know from previous blog posts I take the position Paul knew about the "Gospel of the Grace of God" at least by Acts 20.  However, I see nowhere in the book of Acts Paul explaining the "Mystery of the One Body of Christ" composed of Jew and Gentile without distinction.  I do not see a thorough explanation until after Acts 28 in Ephesians and Colossians.   Although I concede that the "Mystery" of Romans 16:25 probably refers to the Jew and Gentile in the One Body of Christ, it is not explained until after Acts 28, in our King James Bible until Ephesians and Colossians.  I do not agree with Bullinger and other Acts 28ers that Romans 16:25 was added later.  In light of all this I would say Paul was "None of the Above" when it comes to the Acts 2, Mid Acts, and Acts 28 positions.  I think the reason for this is because, based on my study of Acts, Israel is given an opportunity to accept the Kingdom Offer at least until the end of Acts.  Based on Paul's earlier epistles it seems that Paul was expecting Israel to "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; (Acts 3:19 KJV) during his lifetime. 

     In hindsight, now that we know Israel rejected the Kingdom Offer all the way through the book of Acts, we can now look back in the book of Acts and see how God was transitioning some things in His foreknowledge (concerning Israel's rejection of the Kingdom) preparing and forming the Mystery of the One Body of Christ concurrently with Israel's Kingdom Offer.  I think some in seeing these transitions/preparations at different places in Acts erroneously draw a hard dispensational line and dare their fellow believer to cross at their own risk of being removed from the "fellowship."

      I would conclude with "...be at peace among yourselves."(1 Thes 5:13).
