Thus says the Lord: "Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.
But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'" --Jeremiah 6:16

But in this two-minute Q&A audio clip from the 2006 Shepherd's Conference, John MacArthur explains why it's necessary for public ministries to be exposed to public scrutiny. When a teacher holds up a set of beliefs as truth, their statements can be judged, and in fact SHOULD be judged, in light of scripture. Some say this is unloving, but it's actually a loving act to warn sheep of wolves in shepherd's clothing. An example of 'naming names' in scripture is 1 Timothy 1:19-20 where Paul says "some have made shipwreck of their faith, among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme".
