barbara, most churches are not open to the pure message of grace rightly divided because they love their legalism or Galatianism. You see they will talk about grace but they really teach that we are saved by faith plus works, "faith-that-works","faithworks" or other forms of "Lordship Salvation" or MacArthurism. The problem is PRIDE. Man just cannot settle for the finished work of Christ as their only means of salvation. They just have to add their own human element to the salvation equation. So instead of using the Roman road to salvation, some are actually using the James 2 road to salvation-which is faith plus works. Also, they will not accept that Paul alone was given the gospel and doctrines for the church. They consider people like Les Feldick, and Paul Sadler, and CR Stam to be extreme dispensationalists.
