Excellent, Bro Van Ooteghem.  Some comments:

[Baptismal Regeneration]

  I'm not sure I care for the phrase "baptismal regeneration."  My
  understanding of that phrase is that it implies baptism saves apart
  from faith.  David Bernard specifically rejects the doctrine of
  baptismal regeneration because it could lead to things like infant
  baptism.

[Heretic or Hero]

  I've read in several places claims that Miguel Servetus was modalist,
  but the Unitarians, who deny any divinity of Christ, count Servetus
  as the founder of their belief system.  When Servetus speaks of the
  divinity of Christ, I'm told, it's in a pantheistic sense -- i.e. the
  way a New-Ager would speak of the "divinity" within each of us.  I
  haven't read any source documents (yet).  I'd be interested in other
  informed comments on Servetus.  I've also been told that involvement
  by John Calvin in the death of Servetus is often overstated.

Like I said, the essays make for some good reading Bro Van Ooteghem.
Thanks!
