Php 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Php 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Other than that, he's probably a nice guy.
How do these verses apply to MaCarthur? These apply to the "health and wealth" false gospel crowd who, to his credit, MaCarthur is trying to expose. Furthermore, MaCarthur is an excellent preacher of the cross and does believe the gospel. His problem is that he does not understand the correct RESPONSE to the gospel, which is to obey Acts 2:38. You should at least understand what it is you are criticizing before you criticize it.
