John MacArthur denies the working of the Holy Ghost. Listen to Derek Prince or Leonard Ravenhill for someone who actually teaches on the spiritual things of God.
Elaborate? I don't know this pastor but that's a huge claim. I find it impossible to truly believe in Jesus and deny the supernatural, spiritual, and mystical element in Christianity
That's exactly what cessationists (such as John MacArthur and most Calvinists) believe, that the supernatural, spiritual, and miraculous elements of Christianity ended in the book of Acts. Charismatics (such as Michael Brown, David Wilkerson, Derek Prince, or John Osteen) believe that the supernatural is essential to Christianity and is available to all believers through the person of the Holy Ghost.
John MacArthur is a man that believes in grace through faith alone but he also believes that we should hold ourselves to a higher standard but he never ever says that you are going to lose your salvation because you didn't do a b or c he simply says we should try and that anyone who's truly saved would at least be trying to do those things and be righteous. I do feel a bit convicted when I listen to him and it rubbed me the wrong way at first but if you listen to most of his sermons which I have I don't think I have ever heard him say that you are not saved through faith alone lest any man should boast.
