It has always been by grace alone (No one deserves salvation), through faith alone (No one can earn salvation),  through Christ alone.  (There is only one Saviour,  Jesus Christ)

God has never changed His plan of salvation.  No matter what age or dispensation.

We will never meet anyone in heaven who was saved apart from God's grace.  We will never meet anyone in heaven who worked for their salvation.  It has always been by faith.  We will never meet anyone in heaven who was saved by another saviour.  Jesus is the Way,  the Truth and the Life.  No one comes to the Father but through Jesus Christ.

I accept dispensationalism but reject hyper dispensationalism.  (Long word.  *Whew*)

That's what I believe.  Fire away!  😉

Please forgive my nitpicking. I find the Age of Grace to be a misnomer.

Certainly NONE of any of us deserve God's favor or grace and I do not think that is being argued here, but the Church Age is also called the Age of Grace regardless of how much we don't deserve it and cannot earn it. In conversation with another believer, if that person references the Age of Grace I think we all know what epoch they are referring to. It is neither the Old Testament dispensation nor is it the Tribulation period. Revelation calls the saints of that epoch as Tribulation Saints and it is a distinctively different epoch wit a different set of rules.

Wonder where the term knit picking came from?!

Always curious about sayings and history like this in our culture!

Don't ya' just love Wikipedia?  It includes, "Nitpicking is the act of removing nits (the eggs of lice, generally head lice) from the host's hair. ... This is a slow and laborious process, as the root of each individual hair must be examined for infestation. ... ... As lice populations can and do develop resistance, [to chemicals] manual nitpicking is still often necessary."
