Such as? Tis easy to post vagaries, like  some things he says puts up red flags, it is another to back that up with specifics. Do you have specifics to be able to share?

I have Christian discernment. When something seems wrong I know it in an instant. I don't need to share my concerns I have with MacArthur. I am very fussy who teaches me the Word of God.

Wow, amazing. So many others including me have to pray, read the word of God, think, pray some more and even adjust their own conclusions.

If you read your Bible and read it literally as God intended and know God's Word you would be able to have Christian discernment and know what is false teaching and what is truly in the Bible.

Again amazing.

Especially in light of so many scholars working so hard, so long, into their lives and finding themselves reaching new conclusions as they read think and pray over the many years God has allotted to them.

There are a couple of Bible scholars I admire. They truly know the Bible for what God intended. Not every person that calls themself a Bible scholar would I be comfortable absorbing their teachings. I have to observe them and listen to what they teach and how they teach it. The only new conclusions of the scholars I admire is the truth of the Bible that they teach.

One problem I have seen while attending one of these types of churches is they put emphasis on speaking in tongues which really has no place in our modern world where the bible has been translated into almost every language that is currently in use.

So true Knotical, speaking in tongues was done away with.  According to the Bible, this gift and the other gifts of the spirit were always conveyed to persons by the laying on of hands of the apostles of Jesus Christ or in their presence.  Thus, after their death and when the individuals who in that way had received the gifts died, the miraculous gifts resulting from the operation of God’s spirit must have come to their end. Such a view agrees with the purpose of those gifts as stated at Hebrews 2:2-4.

One might see and hear the well reasoned interview presentation  of Dr.John Piper  now found here at Biblical videos. It is seven minutes long and covers a wide range of detail on the subject of speaking tongues.

One may agree or disgree of course, but the subject is well covered in seven minutes time.
