The church at Corinth had a problem. Some were saying "I am of Paul", some "I am of Peter", some "I am of Apollos", etc.
The Corinthian congregation was carnal. (1 Corinthians 3:1-4)

Do you not realize that he meant that in the same way that Moses told the people that if they did not agree with him that they did not agree with GOD Himself?
Moses is not GOD.
Paul is not GOD.
And yet, if you did not adhere to their words, it was as if you were opposing GOD Himself.
No MADist disagrees with that.

Paul reminded them that the different apostles and prophets had different ministries, some planting, some watering, but that they were all working in the same harvest.
You cannot look at a different ministry (planting, watering, weeding, etc.) and say "different Gospel".
Paul's ministry was unique to him, and he referred to the gospel he preached as "my gospel".
We refer to Matthews literal writings as "Matthews gospel", but that does not mean that he had a revelation different from Mark, Luke and John

If you were honest, you'd care.
If you didn't care, why bother looking up a quote to post. You really should stop saying things that are so transparently false. I already told you that I'd prefer to think that you weren't making it up so why not just post the quote and leave it at that?
Leaving that aside...
Without context, this quote is impossible to decipher. If he means what you are suggesting then he not only is not a dispensationalist, he isn't even a Christian. My bet is that you've misunderstood him. I, for one, really, actually and honestly don't even care. You already know that anyone who believes something similar to what you've suggested is not a dispensationalist and you knew that when you posted it in the first place. I fully understand the tactic; If you cannot win or don't have the ability to even engage a debate on the merits of the topic then smear, besmirch, discredit and isolate that with which you disagree. I totally get it. I just think it's beneath any breathing creature more mentally advanced than your average wood rat, skunk or raccoon.

Hi and he did not quote the verse right as it says , I AM of Paul , and I of Apollos and I of CEPHAS !!

YOU created a distinction in scripture that does not exist !
It all means the same thing I am of Paul, and I of Apollos etc. it all means the same NONE of them can save anyone ONLY Jesus can do that !
Hi and the Greek text does not use AM for the Apollos and for Cephas !!

dan P , means nothing in context it simply means that some water some plant but God gives the increase. You have created a distinction based on the lies and error MAD nothing more.
Meaning some say I am of Paul- some say I am of Apollos etc.
Hi and the Greek text does not use AM for Apollos and for Cephas and the verse is very clear !!
You do not believe and Paul calls you all INFANTS !!
dan p
dan P , I only worship God and I do not worship Paul. You constantly imply Paul was more than he was.
Paul like everyone was a sinner saved by grace , and Paul did have a burning desire to lead folks to JESUS but never to himself.
