Pastor John MacArthur is a well-known leader among the Evangelicals in USA, especially among the Baptists. He was the writer of the book "Charismatic Chaos" depicting the errors of the "Health and Wealth Gospel". He is known to be forthright in his Reformed theology and has a large following among Evangelical Christians in the USA. What I particularly appreciate about MacArthur is his boldness to speak up for what is right and Scriptural. Though he is of the Reformed theological persuasion, he has been forthright and outspoken about the error of Amillennialism and Postmillennialism (and Historic Premillennialism) in their Replacement Theology (replacing Israel with the Church, claiming to take over all the blessings of Israel while leaving the bones of curses to the Jews). MacArthur has stated in no uncertain terms in conferences organised under his umbrella that Reformed believers, being Calvinists upholding the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty and Election, should be the people who support the election of Israel as the chosen people of God. So Pastor MacArthur stands out as a sore thumb in the midst of the Reformed theological camp; rather he shines as a brilliant gem in the eschatological confusion of Replacement Theology. You have to contrast John MacArthur with other noted Baptist pastors like John Piper who unfortunately remains mired in the shifting sands of Replacement Theology even though he is good in other doctrines, especially that of Salvation (Soteriology). I have already pointed out the shocking anomalies of exceptionally brilliant Reformed theologians like Benjamin Warfield espousing Replacement Theology when an objective study of the Scriptures would have shown them that Israel is very much alive and kicking even until today. Against the black and murky darkness of the Replacement Theology of the Reformed theologians, I would say that such a one as John MacArthur stands out as a beam of brilliant light. God be merciful to the Replacement Theologians.
