The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Fred Malone a dispensationalist?

Malone then tackles John Murray and the ideas surrounding good and necessary inference. Malone’s presuppositions will not allow him to use “good and necessary inference” in a consistent manner, but only when it suits him (like women partaking of the Lord’s supper, but not Infant Baptism). He questions whether it is a safe hermeneutic at all. The New Testament regulates New Testament worship for Malone. He quotes the Westminster Confession of Faith in this way trying to prove his point – “The elements of Christian worship must be clearly, “instituted by God himself,…limited by his own revealed will, and…prescribed in holy Scripture” (WCF 21:5; 21:1; 1:6).”[13] This is not what Malone believes. He is thinking about it this way, “The elements of Christian worship, i.e. New Testament worship, must be clearly, “instituted by God himself, [in the New Testament]…limited by his own revealed will, [in the New Testament] and…prescribed in Holy Scripture in the New Testament.” This is Malone’s point. Otherwise, he knows he has given up his case the moment we are able to resort to the Old Testament concerning New Testament worship. This, again, demonstrates his Dispensationalism.
