Monte Lee Rice responded: “I suppose if it serves a functional purpose towards understanding MacArthur & similar parties, and the seeming debates/conflicts transpiring between Reformed-identified ‘Censationalists,’ ‘Continuuists,’ and Charismatics; and towards pastorally responding to quires and/or confusions emerging at the congregational level.”

Monte Lee Rice responded: “I wholly agree with you [JKT]. For this reason, never before have I written such a disproving critique on someone’s work, which I did for Pneuma Review. I see little redemptive value in MacArthur’s inflammatory rhetoric and miss-guided construals of the Pentecostal and Charismatic traditions. Nor do I find anything within his book helpful towards our own internal self-critique. We have better resources we can turn to.”

Monte Lee Rice responded: ” Part of the problem I see, from reading between the lines of certain “auto-biographical” themes in MacArthur’s book, is that there simply does not seem to be any established or sought after relations or networks MacArthur has with credible people representative of Pentecostal scholarship. One of the few he mentions to have personally met is Jack Deere. Apparently, if I recall correctly, Deere and Paul Cain met MacArthur in his office, and Cain appeared besides himself; MacArthur alleges Deere later apologised for Cain’s behaviour.”
