Dispensationalists even challenge whether the more extreme non-lordship view of some dispensationalists is even historically related to dispensationalism. Saucy, for example, claims, “The radical non-lordship position of some contemporary dispensationalists, denying the need in salvation of a ‘faith that works’ based on James 2:14–26, has never been a part of traditional or classical dispensationalism.”149
How can such a claim be sustained when such a leading proponent of Dispensationalism as Chafer held to the non-Lordship view? Is such a view necessarily held by Dispensationalists? No, clearly not. But, there is something in the system that can lend itself to non-Lordship views. This cannot be wished away.
