Unfounded? Cursing during a sermon? Not having a confession as a standard? What would Machen say? Calvin? Spurgeon?

You stand behind a man who has done something good. So have many arminian pastors but it isn't proper nor biblical.

I'm sorry, brother - I just don't see things the way you do. If a Pastor preaches the gospel and people are turning to Christ as Lord and savior - then I really don't care what thelogical perspective they come from - weather it be arminian or calvinist - so long as the gospel is preached.

I see no call in scripture for a confession/standard to be used - so why is that even an issue?

I see no problem with cursing in a sermon - so long as it is used in context, not perverted, and not done consistently (cursing that is). This is done in scripture. Calvin did it. Luther did it.

I personally think Calvin and Spurgeon would be proud of Driscoll.

I am willing to agree with you in that perhaps Driscoll is not "proper" in his ministry. But "proper" by whose standards? Yours? Machens? MacArthurs? So he may not be "proper" - but he most certainly is biblical and if you don't think he is then you should not say in the same sentence that he has done something good.
