Fred,
So, MacArthur is reformed? What about Sprouls congregationalism? Sorry. See, this is my point. The definition has a degree of standards as it did before the anabaptists disented. The anabaptists are NOT reformed (even if they still held to the D's of G.) They departed from orthodoxy. MacArthur and Sproul in fact have also disented; whether they did it conciously or subconciously is irrelelvent. We need to clear away the fog and what you call 'blurry' in order to again gain some degree of standards. Macarthur, Sproul and the like are not correct in their theology and much of it stems from this principle. We reformed ARE the standard; we must set the plum line and challenge the rest of the body to follow suit. Complacency and relativism is not the answer.
