What is a celebrity preacher?
I want to start this by saying "within biblical Christisnity" but the problem is there are many within so called Chridtianity thats overrun with false teachets. I cant say within protestantism either because theres false churches popping up everywhere since 2005 that are sects and cults. So what I can say a celebrity pastor is either someone who became popular online and was platformed, invited to speak at conferences or one who travels around preaching at churches. A lot of times it can be both. Looking at this from within biblical Christianity... Who is being lifted up? Christ or the person. So, I wouldn't put John MacArthur in that category, though he is known as America's Pastor. He is popular because his sermons at Grace Church began being put on radio shows in 50s by believers who got ahold of his cassettes and wanted listeners to her sound "solid biblical exposition through Scripture". His popularity rose over time both being the head of the Maste...
