I think Berkof agrees with MacArthur's statements in the excerpt I posted from Larry King.
God loves His "creatures" in so far as they are part of His creation.
But that "special love" of which Berkof writes is the redeeming sacrifice of Jesus Christ who died and was resurrected to save the elect, ordained by God from before the foundation of the world.
Pretty special.

In some way, we might see this same kind of difference in how we have been told to treat one another in this world. For instance, we are told to love our enemies. What does this mean? Are we to treat them the same as those who are of the household of faith? I believe it is a different kind of love.

The timing of MacArthur's statements here certainly make what you are saying valid.
