Appeal: concession
From FULL SAVAGE DEBATE: Jay Dyer Vs Indiana Brunner: Protestant Bible Wrong???.
- #59840:47upheld Indiana Brunner epainos: concession (+1)
The council upheld the call: Indiana Brunner earned 1 point.
“Oh, okay. Yeah. Alright. I'm I'm... I was confused by your your question.”
Diogenes: Corrected on when baptism was instituted, he takes the correction rather than defending the error.- Aristotle uphold: On the record: S1 has not staked her overall thesis on the timing of baptism's institution; this is a small factual point conceded in the middle of the larger normative-means dispute, and nothing in her subsequent turns revives the Pentecost-institution claim. S0 had just corrected her ("You said baptism was instituted at Pentecost... It's Matthew 28, not Acts two"), and her reply opens with acceptance ("Oh, okay. Yeah. Alright.") before she offers a face-saving explanation that she'd merely misread the question. The acceptance is genuine even though softened by the excuse; she does not go on to defend Acts 2/Pentecost as the institution point anywhere afterward, so the correction stands unchallenged.
- Socrates uphold: Read blind, found "concession". After Dyer points out that baptism was instituted in Matthew 28, not at Pentecost in Acts 2 as Brunner's earlier remarks implied, Brunner does not dig in but admits "I was confused by your question," acknowledging the correction rather than defending the mistaken timeline.
- Plato uphold: On the record: Indiana has maintained throughout that doctrine and practice must be traceable to explicit apostolic institution; consistent with that stated commitment to getting the textual basis right, when corrected on which passage institutes baptism he accepts the correction rather than defending his original answer. Indiana's response to Jay's question about when baptism was instituted pointed toward Pentecost or Acts 2; Jay corrected him to Matthew 28's Great Commission, and Indiana's Oh okay yeah alright, I was confused accepts that correction on a discrete factual point rather than defending or re-arguing it, which is a genuine, if minor, concession.
