Daniel Steele on the antinomian character of dispensational teachings The effect of this teaching is, first, to belittle the Christian agencies now in operation by asserting that they are inadequate to the conversion of the world. Second, it gives a Jewish and highly materialistic turn to the kingdom of Christ, and leads to a depreciation of the spiritual manifestation of Christ by the Comforter in this life. Thirdly, it calls off attention from the saving truths of the Gospel, and leads believers to dwell upon airy and baseless speculations, and profitless argumentation. Fourth, unless the laws of mind are all changed in this generation, we predict from the history of Adventism in past ages, that the Plymouth Brethren will soon begin to fix a definite time for the Advent, which will be followed by disappointment and all the moral and spiritual disasters of Millerism (A Substitute for Holiness or Antinomianism Revived: The Theology of the Plymouth Brethren Examined and Refuted, p.196).
