Mid-Acts Dispensationalism takes its name from the belief that Paul became the first member of the body of Christ during the mid-Acts period. Consequently, since Dispensationalists also believe scriptures pertaining to Israel do not apply to the body of Christ, mid-Acts Dispensationalism teaches that only Paul's epistles apply directly to the church today. Mid-Acts Dispensationalists also agree that believers must not forsake the rest of the Bible, because all scripture is written for our admonition and learning (1 Cor. 10:11, 2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Pet. 1:20).
