It's certainly wordy, but it's not incomprehensible.
There is a supposedly a doctrine (triclavianism, although this is the first I've heard of it), that says Christ was crucified with three nails. You apparently choose to oppose it, even though your critics say doing so doesn't help someone's 'savedness', even though it is an irrelevance, because not to do so could crucially impact their 'savedness', and could even lead to a declaration that their baptism should not have happened.
Probably best tackled after tequila.
(And I learned that ebaptization is not online baptism. Perhaps there's a gap in the market for this rather dubious sacrament?)

I hope He will.
If you like wordy; from my current book (Paul and the Faithfulness of God):
“The main aim is now to show, through brief consecutive exposition, how the sevenfold doctrine of justification is presented in these passages and how the seven themes of Paul's soteriology, by which we mean 'forensic', 'participatory' and above all 'covenantal' eschatology, with their apocalyptic anthopological, salvation-historical and transformational meanings all resonating, cohere and nest within one another throughout.”
It's actually brilliant when unpacked.
Off to get the tequila now.
