I fully appreciate the perspective and historical notes you
bring to this discussion, Bro Robison.

I would also like to point out that I don't dispute a wide range of
interpretation on the issue of the New Birth.

What I *do* fight against is a certain heckler and long-time listmember
in our midst who judges the character of those who equate the message
of Peter in Acts 2:38 with the New Birth.  That is *completely* out of
line.

Almost all of the participants have been doing an outstanding job of
remaining civil in this discussion.
