There is way too much for a full exegesis, so I'll just look at a few bits that demonstrate why John MacArthur started saying what he said in around 1969; had the Strange Fire conference in 2013; and still needs to say these things today.
Do I really need to say anything?Ray Comfort says ... you need to tell people to repent of their sins in order to be saved.
In, I think, the second panel video in my post above the panellists are asked what to say to people who try introducing charismatic stuff into their church. One response was "share the Gospel with them". There's why.
I only heard of that phrase recently but apparently it's been a big deal. Not just lately, but 100 or so years ago it caused Spurgeon an early death.John MacArthur teaches Lordship Salvation
Of course J Mac teaches that (and it's only called "Lordship" Salvation because people what to reject Jesus as their Lord. It's simply Salvation). As he says "Scripture teaches that Jesus is Lord of all, and the faith He demands involves unconditional surrender (Romans 6:17-18; 10:9-10). In other words, Christ does not bestow eternal life on those whose hearts remain set against Him (James 4:6). Surrender to Jesus' lordship is not an addendum to the biblical terms of salvation; the summons to submission is at the heart of the gospel invitation throughout Scripture".

We see repentance from Job to Revelation. Jesus Himself said "I have not come to call ... sinners to repentance" (Luke 5:32).
We also see
and behind that response is the idea spoken in lots of churches that to be saved all you have to do is "believe". Why? Perhaps the speaker was told that? They tell others the same thing and these people say they believe but don't change, yet think of themselves as "christians" because they're told they are.When asked if an Arminian could be saved (R.C. Sproul) response was "barely".
The Bible says that if you confess that Jesus is Lord (Lord, not "your" Lord. Lord of Lords and King of Kings) and believe in your heart (not just give mental assent to, the devil does that, so do all the dead), then you will be saved.
One of the things Robert Schindler (mentioned in previous post) noticed of the church when it slid away after a revival of true evangelical faith was the abandonment of the emphasis of God's sovereignty in salvation in favour of making man's will the deciding factor. That's exactly what we have in the charismatic movement and why the church is where it is today, and why we need and need to heed, John MacArthur's warnings.
