I have heard rumors that JM is no longer a dispensationalist, is this fact or fiction?

What do you mean?
What Josh said.
He doesn't even really claim to be dispensationalist anymore because the definition is too hard to nail down in different circles. He said that when people ask him if he's dispensational he replies that he doesn't even know what that means.
He sees a future for Israel as a nation. He is pretrib/premil. And he's dogmatic about it. But he doesn't think the horses in Revelation are really literal horses.
No. Insofar I understand, I don't believe progressive dispensationalists go for the pre-trip rapture.What Josh said.

So John Macarthur is not a Scofield-type Dispensationalist then? Is he a Progressive Dispensationalist?
The mixture of dispensational eschatology and Calvinist soteriology is not unique to MacArthur. S. Lewis Johnson, Curt Daniel "The History and Theology of Calvinism" by Curt Daniel) and others affirm full soteriological Calvinism without adopting postmil or amil eschatology.

If someone is not in conformity to the WCF, how can he be completely Reformed? I was under the impression that anyone who held to Premil would have to take an exception before his Presbytery (if he was seeking licensure or ordination). Doesn't the WCF allow for only the one general resurrection?

I think most or all of the progressive dispensationalists (Blaising, Bock, Saucy) are pre-trib, though they mostly treat it as unimportant, and there are many PDs who are post-trib. One of the critiques of PD from classic dispensationalism is that it naturally leads to posttribulationism.
