MacArthur Did NOT Teach Inclusivism

About this sermon

Dr. Flowers never said MacArthur taught inclusivism as he has been falsely accused but he did bring a rebuke that some in the "discernment" world should heed... Phil Johnson, the President of Grace to You Ministries with John MacArthur, has teamed up with the “Mid-Westboro Baptists” types to misrepresent Dr. Flowers' theology. They have written three articles about Flowers in the last three days and everyone of them has a blatantly false title. 1) “Leighton Flowers Teaches Salvation Without Jesus.” Untrue. Flowers has always maintained that no one is saved apart from the atoning blood of Jesus. He even maintained that since the cross, God would “bring the full light of Christ to those who live up to the light of revelation they have been given” (MacArthur’s words). 2) “Leighton Flowers AGAIN Teaches Salvation Without Faith” Untrue. Faith in God during the OT times is still faith. Not sure what this was about? Just really bad journalism. 3) “Leighton Flowers Accuses MacArthur of Inclusivism” Untrue. Flowers compared his own views with that of MacArthur in that old sermon to demonstrate how the label “inclusivism” (when rightly defined) would no more apply to Flowers than to MacArthur. Asking a question about MacArthur’s view and quoting statements he said with which Flowers agrees is not an accusation. At least they are consistent. Three for three are blatant lies. Do they even listen to Flowers' videos? Really listen? They wrote, “To do so, he invoked a 38 year-old sermon from John MacArthur, alleging that MacArthur similarly believes it’s possible to be saved without ever hearing the Good News.” Flowers never said this. Read the article he released with the video. He said quite the opposite! He never said MacArthur believed the boy in Libera (or anyone else) was saved prior to hearing and believing the gospel. He only said (like MacArthur) that God would send the full light of Christ to those who lived up to the light they had received. Again, this is just blatantly incorrect. In this episode Dr. Flowers goes over some of the specifics for clarity...
