Scriptural Mormonism: Debate Challenge to "God Loves Mormons"

Back in 2016, I wrote a series of responses to a group "God Loves Mormons." They can be found here, but for convenience, here is a listing:

Yes, We Need Modern Prophets: Responding to Godlovesmormons.com

Review of Can Our Works Save Us? Refuting Sola Fide

Defending Divine Embodiment against "God Loves Mormons"

Answering "God Loves Mormons" on The Trinity

Since then, I have written a number of articles, including books, that touch upon these issues. E.g.:

Not By Scripture Alone: A Latter-day Saint Refutation of Sola Scriptura

Response to a Recent Attempt to Defend Imputed Righteousness

After the Order of the Son of God: The Biblical and Historical Evidence for Latter-day Saint Theology of the Priesthood

I came across them again on Twitter, and it seems they are simply repeating claims that have been refuted. I commented on a few of their posts where they are attempting to defend their view of the Bible and salvation, denying baptismal regeneration and other (explicitly biblical!) doctrines. It is for that reason, as I told them on twitter, I will happily debate them on the following topics:

Sola Scriptura (debate thesis [which they would defend]: "the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura, wherein the 66 books of the Protestant canon are the sole, infallible, formally sufficient rule of faith, is biblical")

Baptism (debate thesis [which I will defend]: "The Bible Affirms the Doctrine of Baptismal Regeneration"])

I will also happily debate the topic of justification and its nature, too, whether it is based on an imputation of an alien righteousness and other issues.

Would you like to see these debates to take place? Good. Here is what you do--you message them on their Contact page on their Website and please inform them of this debate challenge.
