Mark Driscoll, and the other charlatans in our age, are in the ministry for fame and fortune, i.e. filthy lucre. And, at the Judgment Seat (either the Judgment Seat of Christ or the Great White Throne of Judgment as I am not sure of their salvation), they will be more harshly judged than the lost who never heard.

There are many such around and unfortunately even some actual Christians get deceived and misled by such.

This last Sunday our pastor gave a warning about Rob Bell (he's done so before but it seems this guy keeps resurfacing). Apparently Bell recently did an interview with Oprah and basically said Christians are wrong and will not survive if we keep sticking to 2,000 year old letters to guide us. Our pastor also reminded us Bell's popular book on hell is full of heresy yet many Christians are still falling for this.

I appreciate when pastors and Christian publications point out the name of those spreading false teachings. One thing that really irks me is when a pastor will say something like, "there is a preacher/ministry that's spreading this and that false teaching and people need to be careful about this but I'm not going to say their name". What kind of warning is that?

To the OP topic of Mark Driscoll, he should have been marked easily with his foul mouthed "preaching" early on. Instead, many chose to ignore or overlook his cussing because they liked his "hard preaching" which made it easy for them to excuse or justify his barroom language.
