Yet Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
I attended a Reformed church for years and finally asked the question, "If a non-believer came to our church, would he ever hear the gospel?" The assistant pastor who heard my question didn't answer.
Gee. We hear the Gospel every, so single week in my Reformed church.
Having a lot of respect for Sproul I would be interested to hear his response to your criticism (”Yet Jesus said, “Come to Me...”). My initial thought is that this is a more a case of semantics rather than doctrinal disagreement.
RE: your non-gospel “reformed” church: I would simply respond as I did above regarding “religion”.
The reality is that the Gospel is not (or should not) be viewed as a one-time event - “I accepted Christ when I was a teen-ager at camp, so now that I’m saved the Gospel doesn’t apply to me any longer.”
No. We need to pray and preach the Gospel to ourself every day. Every interaction should be sprinkled with Gospel grace (”there but for the grace of God go I...”).

I can tell you this: at the Presbyterian (PCA) church we are at now, he would, any given Sunday.
