“You quote a huge section of Acts for no purpose other than to take something out of context?”

No.

“I thought Claveau was speaking to a fellow Christian?”

Yes, but one who lacks the fullness of the Christian faith. Jews lacked the fullness of faith as it stood in their day as well because they lacked Christ.

“Peter is speaking to unbelievers.”

Yes, Jews. But Jews are not unfamiliar with the messiah. Peter and the Jews shared very much in common. Yet the Jews lacked Christ. Baldwin lacks the fullness of the faith. He shares much in common with orthodox Christians, but still lacks the fullness of Christ.

“How does that make (1) the quotation of the passages relevant;”

Explained above.

“(2) Claveau a cyber martyr?”

You’re certainly trying to make him one. Come to think of it, why are you posting against him here? Why don’t you email him directly? Isn’t that what you have been preaching about contacting Baldwin directly? Interesting.

Your use of Acts is to misuse its context. The writer claims Baldwin is a Christian not an unbeliever in Christ. You’re certainly trying to make him one. Come to think of it, why are you posting against him here? Why don’t you email him directly? Isn’t that what you have been preaching about contacting Baldwin directly? Interesting.

I'm addressing your defence of this writer's screed. If he wants to take his theological debate to the internet than that's where it will be questioned.
