Mike,
You had written,
"I am not so sure Adam, Seth and Enos are part of the Dispensation of Grace however."
There is no way on this planet that I would have ever thought anything remotely like that.
The dispensation of Grace was revealed to Paul, and it is still active, until the blessed hope.
I was trying to show a contrast between "born" and "created".

Nicodemus was told in reference to Israel about being born again, whereas Paul says to us in the dispensation of Grace, that we are new creatures.
I tried to show in "typology", that Seth was born by a physical birth, contrasted with what was mentioned to Nicodemus about born again as a spiritual birth.
Also, by "typology", that Adam was a physically created son of God, contrasted with what Paul speaks about us now, where we are spiritually created sons of God.
Clearly not the same kind of sonship, clearly not the same kind of creation - spiritual vs physical - and certainly not the same dispensation.
Also, for the other, clearly not the same kind of birth - spiritual vs physical - and certainly not the same dispensation, and certainly not the same dispensation as the new creation.

I'm still flummoxed that you might have thought that I would have confused the dispensations like that.
Adam started in a dispensation of innocence, but after eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he entered another dispensation, one of conscience.
Seth was born in that second dispensation, and both Adam and Seth died in that dispensation.
