According to John MacArthur all God’s pastors are doctrinally in line with his (MacA’s) beliefs. If they disagree then they are not born again. Their profession of faith is demonstrative of one born again. They are wolves (unregenerate men) in sheep clothing.
Keeping in this vein of thought Paul had in mind the Corinthian congregation was in error about the operation of the gifts. He wrote to the “brothers and sisters” about their ignorance of
the gifts of the Spirit.
The assumption was that they had been taught correctly since their source of teaching was Paul himself as supervising instructor. Their source was inerrant instruction and the fault lie with the worldly Corinthians. They were the source of the chaos!
Thus the book was written in line with the inerrant sources “Charismatic Chaos”. Later it was expanded to include the “wolves” in “Strange Fire”!
What are your thoughts?

Is there “Charismatic Chaos?” Without a doubt. Are Cessationists the proper vehicle for dealing with it? Of course not. The Strange Fire crew brings shovel and sledge into the operating room.
David Lewayne Porter
I think it is summoned up in the first 4 words, ,,,
According to John MacArthur….
Paul said, “follow me as I follow Christ”.
Is Mac following Christ?
Nough said.
Nelson Banuchi
MacArthur ain’t Paul.
Eva Benevento
Read Dr. Jon Ruthven’s two books on cessationism. Excellent polemic that addresses MacArthur’s views.
Jim Kingsnorth
It is MacArthur that is the heretic!

MacArthur is getting old. Unfortunately, when some people get old, they get hard. Instead of viewing charismatics as brothers and sisters who may be in error, he has hardened and now calls them unregenerate wolves.
He has forgotten there is a difference between error and a “damnable heresy”. Hey Christian who attends an Assembly of God congregation is not in the same category as a Jehovah’s Witness who denies the deity of Jesus. There is consensus among Christians about the deity of Jesus. The Bible is clear one must believe that in order to be saved. There is neither consensus among Christians nor a clear statement in scripture about what we must believe concerning spiritual gifts in order to be saved.
This man needs to slow his roll and stop sowing division in the larger body of Christ.

He’s turning into a cult leader apparently

He being true to his Calvinism! This is the belief of all modern Calvinist.
Scotty Ray Searan
John MacArthur doesn’t believe in Holy Spirit Baptism with speaking in tongues.
He also teaches eternal security of the believer.
I have always had problems with his teachings and I refuse to listen to someone who does not believe in Holy Spirit Baptism as it was in Acts.
That includes Charles Stanley.
Jeff Zimmerman
John is wrong as he always has been about the gifts of the Spirit.
