Your heresy has been dealt a death blow myriad times here and in various ways. We have given sound exegesis of Scripture and you have returned nothing more than eisogesis. We have given you sound logic and reason of the Scriptures and you have given back nothing but illogical reasoning and blind bias against the holy law of God. We have given you the statements of several historic Confessions of the Reformed Churches which have withstood both time and assault and you have given us nothing more than the heretical musings of but two men, J.C. Philpot and Huntington.

It is YOU who claims to be preaching the "Gospel of Christ" to us poor, ignorant, and deceived souls, thus implying and even stating that we preach a "false gospel". It would appear that we also differ as to the definition of what the Gospel actually is. But if we were to accept your definition, just out of interest, then it would be YOU who is preaching "another gospel", for we simply believe that which has been always believed by the saints. Not only do we have our own sound exegesis to stand on, but we also have the testimony of the entire Church. This, my good man Mr. Potts is how Sola Scriptura works. After studying the infallible Word, which is the sole and final authority in all matters of faith and practice (not you sir), the true child of God then consults with those who have gone before and those who are contemporary with him/her to compare their own conclusion with those of others. For we are all subject to error. The Scripture is infallible and inerrant; we are not. Secondly, the Spirit Who guides us into all truth was FIRST given to the Church and Who thus gave gifts to certain men and appointed them to serve as Apostles, Prophets, Pastor-Teachers, etc. for the upbuilding of the saints. Thus we acknowledge that there are those who are far more gifted and learned than ourselves to whom we may consult as a safe-guard against our own errors. Therefore, having studied the Scriptures prayerfully and then comparing it with those others who have gone before me and having found that my conclusion agrees with the overwhelming majority of the most gifted and godly men who also have rejected your view as fallacious, I am more than confident that the truth is mine and not yours.

Thus, the Church has produces Creeds and Confessions with a two-fold purpose, 1) To preserve the faith once delivered unto the saints, 2) To expose and guard against heresy, which is always wanting to gain a foothold. You would be hard pressed, Mr. Potts, to find one Confession written by any of the Reformation denominations which gives credence to your Antinomianism. The Spirit was in those who penned those many and various documents. And it is the same Spirit Who indwells my soul and Who has led me to the truth of the Gospel and Who has testified to my spirit that you are teaching false doctrine. That's sufficient enough for me.

In His Grace,
