Let’s us more importantly chase the commandment of the Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 16:…..”….and these signs shall follow (chase after) those who BELIEVE…”….Praise God this an opportunity to chase God’s love and a sign of the last days. The world, Israel and the Church is on the verge of THE GREATEST outpouring God’s power in the Holy Spirit that the world has EVER seen. The Spirit of God is peaceful and He is also wild! God the Holy Spirit is the most passionate being next to the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father that you will ever encounter!!!! Hallejah rejoice people of God!

It struck me as odd that MacArthur, who is noted to be strong in the use of Scripture, barely used biblical references to support his view that cessationism was the proper approach to take when discussing gifts, etc. In another place he wrote, to my bewilderment, that a person who comes to faith in Christ will find it impossible to grow in correct doctrine if merely left alone with the Bible. So, although this man is a talented teacher and expositor he is certainly human with all the bias that comes with not having complete knowledge. Therefore, I agree that Charismatics / Pentecostals benefit from reading those with whom they may disagree in order to see themselves through the eyes of those that are in opposition to their strongly held views. MacArthur, in the end, though surely sincere about his minority opinion, is just that, an opinion in the very small minority, of the few fundamentalist enclave left. His is a battle already lost in the larger arena of Christian faith and we must move on and not fight again battles already won.

They will tell you things you need to hear that your friends won’t tell you.” One area where John MacArthur has something to say to us (Pentecostals and charismatics) is in our neglect of God’s word leading to a lack of discernment, manifested in the mindless pursuit of extra-biblical miracles such as gold dust, gems, angel feathers, etc. I have been in “revival” meetings where the audience was told to “turn your mind off.” I say, “Open your heart and leave your mind on.” The answer is not to dispense with the mind, for Jesus said we are to love God with all our mind. The answer is to renew the mind in God’s word as Paul admonishes in Romans 12:2, “then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–His good, pleasing and perfect will.”

I fit into all of this that he has come against and fear he has a reprobate or corrupted mind!
Those much more educated and well spoken can and have said it like it is and I for one appreciate those that take a stand for Biblical truth.
