Since moving to a Reformed Baptist church from my old PCA church, I have met a lot of "MacArthurites" who follow him, quote him, praise him, agree with him on every point, and insist that the rest of us do too.

It's actually kinda funny, because I used to defend MacArthur when I was a Presbyterian. Now as a Baptist I find myself pushing away from MacArthur's overzealous disciples. laugh
That's a classic example of an irony, isn't it? giggle

Yeh, I remember his unguarded public remarks concerning non-Dispensationalists in a lecture he gave. That was rather unfortunate. However, in this case, as I have written in response to Tom above, those detracters who are castigating MacArthur on this matter of the "blood" of Christ I believe are wrong and their position is blatantly wrong. Another classic case of the stove calling the kettle black. rolleyes2
