This was an interesting take by Dr. John MacArthur. MacArthur on "Speaking in Tongues"

[Cronos]

Who is this MacArthur? He seems to be comparing the Pentecostal speaking in tongues to the tower of Babel and to babbling in tongues among pagan Zulus and other pagans.

He says that they misconstrued spiritual gifts and that they had left the entire mass of satanic systems into church

Finally he says that they are an entire confused amalgamation of confusion and error.

This guy is quite a propagandist.

McArthur has always been off the wall wrong and unBiblical about tongues etc.

I have no respect for the man’s teachings because of his idiocies about these topics.

One of his leaders is married to a former Pentecostal pastor of mine’s sisters.

This guy is really friendly, he says glossalia is a pagan gobbledygook and gibberish. He goes on with his comparison of pentecostal talking in tongues to pagan worship to say that this is Eros, the desire for ecstasy and is an erotic religion holding orgies.

Your link has this guy saying

"Now I'm afraid that what has happened today in the charismatic movement is just a reproduction of what happened in Corinth. Because of years of ignorance of the true work of the Holy Spirit and because of a lack of a really fine Bible teaching in many places... people begin to reach out and to want to feel God and to sense reality and Satan's counterfeit came flooding in the door and what happened now in the charismatic movement is simply Corinth revisited. We have developed a sensual, erotic approach to religion, only we call it the work of the Holy Spirit when it is the counterfeit of Satan. If you were to find a time to talk to various people who have experienced this, their experiences have been very sensual, very feeling oriented...

And he seems to have a problem with the culture of pentecost.

This guy seems to be an Evangelical. Wikipedia describes him as

MacArthur is a dispensationalist and Calvinist,

Regarding eternal security, he states, "It should never be presented merely as a matter of being once saved, always saved--with no regard for what you believe or do. The writer of Hebrews 12:14 states frankly that only those who continue living holy lives will enter the Lord's presence."

And John MacArthur also goes on to makes a few lies and even attacks Billy Graham (and here I thought Mr. Graham was respected by all Evangelicals)
