Hyperdispensationalism

Hyperdispensationalism, also referred to as Mid-Acts Dispensationalism,[1][2] is a Protestant conservative evangelical movement that values biblical inerrancy and a literal hermeneutic. It holds that there was a Church during the period of the Acts that is not the Church today, and that today's Church began when the book of Acts was closed.[3]

Some advocates of hyperdispensationalism refer to themselves as members of the Grace Movement[4] and they reject the prefix "hyper" as pejorative or misinforming. Many affiliate with the Grace Gospel Fellowship, a church association, and its Grace Christian University or the more conservative Berean Bible Society.

Opponents of hyperdispensationalism are classic dispensationalists such as Scofield and Chafer, revised dispensationalists like John Walvoord and Charles Ryrie, ultradispensationalists, and progressive dispensationalists.
