OK. For starters, why not make the point of the sermon that you shared.
I haven't watched it, and neither have most here.
I ,for one, am interested in discussing the results of FUNDAMENTALISM, though I have no idea what the video addresses.
It is one thing to share a video, but another to have a video make your OP.
I don't know of anyone that draws the line at Darbyism (what you call Dispensations) for heresy. Or Eschatology.
You may not be capable of debating, if you are this ignorant of the meaning of terms which you use.

The basis and the main point of the Video which I shared in the OP of this thread is simply this, someone being raised up by Fundamental Christian Parents, does not guarantee that that person will come to salvation. Especially if the Fundamentalist church and family which they grew up in was that of the Jack Hyles movement. Because that kind of fundamentalism is not based upon the sole authority of Scripture but rather the teaching and commandments of men.
For instance, In the video brother Jason Cooley briefly mentions about Paul Kidd, the son of Phil Kidd, a Fundamental Baptist preacher. Although Paul Kidd grew up in a Fundamental Christian family, he ended up becoming more emergent if anything. Just check out the ministry website of Paul Kidd, and you'll see what I am talking about.
Not saying that Paul Kidd necessarily sees himself as part of the Emergent Movement, all I am saying is if you listen to Phil Kidd's preaching versus his son's preaching, you can tell it certainly is different. Listening to brother Phil, you know what you are hearing is from a Fundamental preacher. Listening to his son, you discern that it is not anything that would resemble the old time faith. But is what you would find in more of the so called "modern" churches.
As a matter of fact, there is one video titled "Can Christians have Fun?" where Paul Kidd in a way just about mocks the Old Time Faith and Religion. Paul makes it look as if he is actually going over a "list of over 600 rules" that Christians should follow. It would seem to me that the Fundamentalist movement and the hypocrisy as well as the man made rules really have turned him away from true Biblical Christianity. And it is sad to see that. There are Biblical guidelines, commandments and even rules to follow, and that is a good thing. But Paul has went to the extreme to where it would seem that he wants nothing to do with the Old Paths, and the Old Time faith.
But getting back to the main point of the video sermon, just because you have saved parents, does not negate the fact that you Personally must come to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Probably nearly all in here are familiar with that saying that goes like this: "God does not have any grand children, He only has Children."
What I like about brother Cooley is that he is not afraid to expose the hypocrisy of the IFB movement, because there is certainly a lot of it! And although Brother Jason Cooley is hard on the Ruckmanites, (Myself being a Ruckmanite) I can still at least appreciate good preaching. If a preacher out there loves the truth of the word of God, I can still learn from him, although he may not agree with me on every single doctrinal point.
See, that wasn't so hard, was it?
Phil/Paul Kidd is an excellent example.
Phil is a Fundamentalist Baptist
The Fundamental Baptist movement began in a hot bed of Racism and Darbyism .
Phil Kidd is openly racist (you should be familiar with IFB racism, being a Ruckmanite).
Part of this is to do with where he was educated, at blatantly racist BJU.
The hybrid of evil and Christianity, that the Racist IFB is, produces corrupt fruit.
Divorce, charismatic doctrine, "emergent church values" .... seem to be rampant in my generation (X) among IFB.
I grew up in Hyles land, but wasn't a "product" of Hylesism.
So I began to look around at the other major influencers in Indbap fundyism, and I found none to be beyond reproach.
John R. Rice was raised in the KKK, and most of the Southern Baptists he influenced were Mason led churches.
BJ Sr. (Not a Baptist, but certainly influential in educating IFB ministers), was paid handsomely by the Klan, to troubleshoot from the pulpit about "interracial issues" as an "evangelist".
Hyles Anderson was run by racists, and reeked of racism, though it was not spelled out on paper.
So, yeah, the Racist wing of the IFB has corrupt fruit....shouldn't be a surprise.
