Pastor of one congregation over 50 years. Preaches/teaches verse by verse. Took 45 years to complete the NT from Mt to Rev. He is all about Scriptures alone, by Faith alone, through Grace alone, in Christ alone, for the Glory of God alone.
In 1982 he preached in our chapel service. We were all studying for the ministry and heard great teachers. 40 years later I can remember his sermon while I forgot all the others. When he was finished, you could hear a pin drop. We never heard a scripture so perfectly analyzed, as if building from the foundation to the top. He asked us, “how many hours do you think I took to prepare?” One said “15” another “20” and finally “35” hours. He said, “60 hours.” I’ll never forget that. Quality comes out of his teaching because quality when into it. We live in a day and age where pastors can download their sermon on Pastors.com. https://store.pastors.com/resources/sermons.html
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.
For all you Christians John MacArthur is the real deal and you should listen to his sermons.
