Do you offer animal sacrifices today and observe the clean and unclean laws? No? Then you are a dispensationalist in some sense (not necessarily following some school of dispensationalism though). Dispensation literally means "house rules/laws." God has different rules for each dispensation for His children to follow. We are not forbidden to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, nor are we building an ark today - those were rules for people or individuals in another time period (ie. dispensation).

No, I am not advocating some school of dispensationalism, but every true believer who studies their Bible will be a dispensationalist to some extent - unless they believe that literally EVERYTHING in the Bible directly applies to them today. Wonder how they offer their sacrifices in the temple?...
