A Note from the Author: Since Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ, gives His Salvation and His Word to all freely (Rev 22:17, Mt 10:7-8), this book, and all other books, written by Harry A. Peyton are given without charge, and can be accessed through the Internet at the following address: http://www.DoctrinesOfChrist.com. Therefore, fell free to copy it in digital or written form, and share it with others. Since this book is copyrighted, the author forbids any alteration of its contents, and the reproduction of it in any form for Marketing Purposes. This book may be placed on anyone’s web page, as long as my website address is attached to it.
The author believes that the Word of God is infallible in the ORIGINAL LANGUAGE it was written in, and all translations of the Bible regardless of how good they may be are NOT. Since the author has implicit faith in the infallibility of the Word of God, the author has formed his beliefs firmly on the truth of the Bible. This author uses the ancient ANTIOCHIAN LITERAL-HISTORICAL METHOD OF INTERPRETING THE BIBLE, which was used by early Christian Prophets and Apostles of the Bible.
I definitely believe that the ancient Alexandrian Allegorical Method of spiritualizing scripture, which was made popular by the ancient Jewish philosopher Philo Judaeus (13 BC – 50 AD) and later used by the Ante-Nicene Catholic Priests, especially Origen and his student Clement of Alexandria (200 AD), is an abomination to our Lord. Therefore, all scriptures will be interpreted in a literal exegetical fashion, unless the language used and the context demands a spiritual interpretation.
All CAPITALIZATION and ITALICIZATION in QUOTES used in this book is always MINE. All Biblical quotes used in this book will be in dark red, and from the New King James version of the Bible, unless another version is stated as the reference. The vast majority of all translations of the Bible, as well as Hebrew and Greek Lexical definitions and grammar, will come from BibleWorks computer software program version 7.0. The author in most places will quote verses from the Bible instead of commenting on a verse and giving a reference; for He believes that the written Word of God’s has greater power to inspire and enlighten a heart to understand and act upon truth, than the elegant oratory or writings of any man.
If this book has been a blessing to my beloved readers, and they would like to send an offering to the author, feel free to do so. If anyone wishes to send any biblical or historical materials to the author, my address is: 148 Little Creek Hills Rd.: Alto, NM 88312: Phone # 575-336-2800: Email address: DoctrineOfChrist@Hotmail.com.

A CHALLENGE FOR A BIBLICAL PUBLIC DEBATE
Retired Pastor, Evangelist, and Author Harry A. Peyton challenges any Pastor to an honorable formal Public Debate on the Biblical New Birth. This minister believes that the only way anyone, Christian or non-Christian, can receive Eternal Life is by entering into the death, burial, and resurrection of our God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. This can ONLY be done by being baptized into the sin cleansing Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by receiving the Holy Spirit with the initial Biblical evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit of God gives them the words to speak in a known language not learned by them (Jn. 3:3-8; Tit. 3:5-7; Acts 2:1-4, 36-40; 10:44-48; 19:1-5; 1Co 6:11; Mk 16:15-17; 1Pe 3:20-21).
Because I sincerely LOVE Pastors and Christians from all denominations, and do not want to see them lost and go to the Lake of Fire, I make this challenge. Jesus commanded All Believers to: “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and MANY are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to Life, and FEW are those who find it.” In the next verse, Jesus told Believers in Christ why MANY of them will not received Eternal Life: “Beware of the False Prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves” (Mt. 7:13-15, NAS)
Therefore, MANY Deceived Christians will wake up in the Resurrection and discover have been Deceived by False Prophets concerning the Foundational Doctrine of the New Birth. Jesus said: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will Enter the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the Will of My Father…. MANY will say to Me on that Day [i.e. Day of Judgment], ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your Name, and in Your Name cast out demons, and in Your Name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I NEVER [Greek – oudepote – NEVER AT ANY TIME] Knew you” (Mt. 7:21-23, NAS). Jesus then told them why He NEVER Knew them or why they were NOT His Children, He says they built their Spiritual House on a Wrong Foundation (Mt. 7:24-27, NAS). In other words, False Prophets told them to believe ON Christ INSTEAD of Believing INTO Jesus’ Death, Burial, and Resurrection through the New Birth of “Water and Spirit”! Therefore, they did NOT do God’s WILL by “Entering into the Straight and Narrow Gate to Eternal Life, which is the New Birth”.
This retired Pastor is ready to defend his belief system just as the great apostle Paul did in the Book of Acts against heretics (Acts 17:16-17; 9:29; 15:1-7; 2Ti. 4:1-5). If any Pastor wishes to accept this challenge, call Harry A. Peyton at 575-336-2800 to establish a time, place, and rules for debate. This minister of Christ is not a novice for he has held various Church Offices: Pastor, Assistant Pastor, and Evangelist. He has earned a BA in Theology and has written 26 books on the Doctrines of the Bible, which he gives away on his website, for he believes God’s truths are not for sale.
