Dear Terry,
I will tell you how I know these things. Their own
words have betrayed them and they have not defended my assertion about them. And
further, you too have denied that you have died on the cross with Christ and
been resurrected with him and been ascended with him. This reveals that you too
are not born again. All three of you have revealed that you are not born again.
I am not being arrogant or mean. I am just being honest with all of you and you
hate me for it. Is not that a bit interesting? I have told you how I am born
again and you have denied even the means by which I claim to be born again and
the means by which Christ and St. Paul and St Peter have identified. Therefore,
I must conclude from all this language used by all three of you that none of you
are born again even though you may claim it merely by using Christian clichés
such as "I believe in Jesus" or "I was born again when I accepted Jesus as my
savior." The real physical fact of life is that the only means to be born again
is to be in Christ in his death resurrection and ascension. Both Mike and Robert
sign their names at the end of their writings with the phrase "in Christ" but
they deny in their writings that the kingdom of Heaven even exists for them.
They claim they live somehow is some kind of "dispensation of grace" which is
not a place but a means to get to that place. If they were truly "in Christ"
they would be where he is right now which is in the Kingdom of Heaven. This is
all the nature of true debates. Some mistake confidence and knowledge for
arrogance in stating their position and observation. I decided I had rather be
real honest with them rather than let them think they were OK with just a slight
error in some irrelevant theological point about baptism with water. I simply do
not agree with the three of you regarding dual gospels and the means of
salvation and rebirth as I have experience to prove all of that in error. I
cannot deny my own experience and knowledge of the scripture and where it took
me. I do hope you join me where I am and that you do well and prosper until you
get here. I pray that all of you be born again via the works of Christ
creating the door into heaven with the death, resurrection and ascension of
his body in which the whole cosmos is located.
Sincerely,
Ron Avery

Don't attempt at this
point to say that you are born again as neither of you have argued that
point that I have made on many occasions from the beginning and I would be
skeptical of any such remark at this late date in the debate unless you
renounced your belief in multiple gospels and multiple Kingdoms or a place
for Jews and a place for Gentiles etc., etc. So far I see all of your
doctrinal arguments as an excuse to deny the need for being born again
which you have not experienced and in which you have given up on trying to
experience.

Who do you think you
are?
Who gave you the supernatural power to discern who is born again
and who isn't? I myself have a few theological disagreements with Mike
and Robert, but I have no found reason to question their salvation.
Indeed, they have graciously avoided saying the same thing about you, although
they have every right to, in my opinion.
As it is, your completely
unscriptural teachings about having a born again "experience" prove beyond
doubt that you are the false prophet in this group, and that you know
absolutely nothing about rightly dividing scripture. So, please take
your arrogant and heretical New Age garbage elsewhere.
So why don't you just
do it! Until then I will not debate any more rightly dividing
stuff.
Sincerely,
Ron

You've said that before. So why
are you still here?
