Dispensations and the Genealogical Adam

They did so without promoting what we call Dispensationalism, which is less than 200 years old. The main problem is an undue literalistic hermeneutic with OT (and NT) prophecies, even countering the apostolic handling of OT texts. The older forms (Classical, Revised) also posit an unhealthy disunity between Jewish and Gentile believers, including a reduction of much of the practical value of the Bible (not just the OT, but much of Jesus and the Gospels).
