Dispensationalists take seriously that believing Gentiles have been brought near to Israel and the covenants of Israel (see Eph. 2:11–22), but they also point out that the New Testament distinguishes Israel and the church in such a way that rules out the idea that the church is now identified as Israel or that the church entirely inherits Israel’s promises and covenants to the exclusion of Israel.
If we eliminate the word "exclusion," could there be much agreement? Broadening and expansion; not elimination.
