I said: "What did John repent of if it wasn't heresy?" John changed his mind about something didn't he? Of course he denies that he repented of heresy. His claim is that he repented of a something permissible but not correct.

As you point out the eternal sonship undergirds CT's covenant of grace and redemption. That is all fine and dandy if you choose to adhere to that theological system, however, to charge someone with heresy because he understands the Bible slightly different than what your favored theology dictates is a rather fallacious charge.
Fred, I don’t think you appreciate what a fallacy is, from what you’ve said. If your paradigm for fallacy is correct, then it would be fallacious of you to charge Mormons of adhering to heresy. After all, they “understand the Bible slightly different than what your favored theology dictates.”
You couldn’t be more wrong about the covenant of redemption, but let’s stick with something really basic, which you'll find below in bold print.

The same would apply to believers baptism..
Whether we baptize infants or not does not undermine the Christian faith. Again, a heresy if true would make Christianity false. Christianity does not stand or fall on water baptism. However, if the intra-Trinitarian relationship, which presupposes Son and Father, is not eternal, Christianity is false. Do you deny this? Yes or No. Keep in mind, there is unity and diversity in the Godhead. The unity is predicated upon the Son as Son and his relationship to the Father, etc. Is the eternal relationship as Son to Father essential to the Godhead? Could God exist apart from this relationship?
