Nope. I think they were not only mis-informed and misrepresented the amill viewpoint horridly, but ridiculously divisive and graceless. I also didn't think his 7 min premill-rant at the tail end of his presentation at Together for the Gospel in 06' was appropriate either.....especially KNOWING that at least 50% of the room was amill.

Just proves John MacArthur is a sinner like the rest of us. Still love him, though. It was funny how everyone just sat there with a blank expression while he went on....but everyone just gave him a free pass publicly.

I'm curious to know what other pastors (Piper, Lig, Sproul, etc...) said to him privately.....

In the context of this discussion I was wondering if dispensationalism somehow fell into that category.
Oh, ok. No, I don't believe dispensationalism is damnable. I had someone else in mind (not on this board) when I typed that, but I could see how you picked up that I might be using it in reference to this convo. My bad for the misunderstanding.
