having a form of godliness but denying the POWER OF GOD as Paul wrote.
men like John MaCarthur and his ilk have went beyond what old school cessationists used to say ie those Pentecostals and Charismatics are way off base but love Christ.
now these new kind say the Holy Ghost Baptism and speaking in tongues are of the devil!!!!!!!!!!!!They say the Power of God is not in operation today.Mark 16 is not for us today.no healings or miracles.no manifestations of the Holy Ghost.all the Gifts ceased when the Apostles died.They are very seductive.They think head knowledge and Bible research and powerless assemblies is New Testament Christianity.NOT SO. one can mentally ascend and know the Bible and be deceived by Lucifer.
these Macarthurites have created another Christ and another type of Christianity.
R.T.Kendall wrote a great book "Holy Fire" to refute these false teachers.and that is exactly what they are and worse.
