I'm a Reformed Baptist but I also find myself reading more Presbyterians than anything else. I just think they have a stronger tradition and emphasis in theology; whereas Baptists have excelled more in producing great preachers and evangelists (IMO). And that is what MacArthur is above all else --- a great preacher. I do not believe he is a great theologian, but his theology is SOUND, and in the pulpit I wouldn't trade him for anyone else alive.
Our pastor was trained at the Master's Seminary and it is amazing to me the kind of preachers and teachers they are producing --- he is a marvel of maturity, sound doctrine, biblical counsel, and preaching.

I'm looking forward to Fredman's account/defense of MacArthur's dispensationalism <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/excitedgrn.gif" alt="" />. I really hope to learn something.
