John McArthur sounds like a progressive fop.
A few decades ago, I also held McArthur’s view.
But now in my late 70’s, I concur with this great article and highly recommend it. Very scholarly and spiritual in its accuracy.
I commend it highly.
“A progressive fop?”

Not really. He has been a consistent conservative, but he does have a rather significant weakness, that he too often wishes to be startling and different, saying the thing nobody else says, seeing what the others didn’t see. This is how he got into a trouble saying that the blood of christ was not instrumental in salvation but his death?! Then he tried to back track saying he meant that when the soldiers beating the Lord were splashed by His blood they were not sanctified by it. Anyway long story short the IFCA called him in and he was very humble and gracious about being corrected and you never hear about that again. I respect that really. But his desire to surprise is still there and it works, he has been very successsful at this as revealed by his supporters who repeat and emphasize that he is the “greatest teacher” “never heard anyone like him” and so on, sometimes giving him praise that should be reserved for God alone. That is not his fault. His followers should rein themselves in. His doctrine of Lordship Salvation is repugnant in my humble opinion however and if anyone would like to know more I can provide a link through PM.
I really get tired of this use of abbr with next to no context or idea.
progressive fop = progressive who fears of progress.
There are over 170 FOP abbr so which one?
