Recent Eastern Orthodox/Reformed Presbyterian Debate on Justification and Imputed Righteousness

Recently, Eastern Orthodox apologist Tommy ("Seraphim") Hamilton had a debate with Matt Slick (Reformed Presbyterian) on the topic of justification/imputed righteousness:

 

Debate: Man is justified through Faith Alone by the Imputed Righteousness of Christ

 

If I were to score this debate, I would say Hamilton won 6-4.

This is a topic I have discussed a lot on this blog, including:

Response to a Recent Attempt to Defend Imputed Righteousness --cf. λογιζομαι in texts contemporary with the New Testament:

Part 1 (LXX Apocrypha)

Part 2 (Greek Pseudepigrapha)

Part 3 (Apostolic Fathers)

Part 4 (Josephus)

Part 5 (Philo)

Part 6 (Modern Lexical Sources)

Part 7 (Summary)

The topic of baptismal regeneration came up, such as Rom 6. This, too, is a topic I have written a lot about, including a 300-page book:

"Born of Water and of the Spirit": The Biblical Evidence for Baptismal Regeneration (anyone who wants a PDF copy, drop me an email at ScripturalMormonismATgmailDOTcom).
