you have refuted nothing- you said " new Christian- able to bear fruit'
so, let's think- new Christian - bearing fruit. you used the word " able ". so, by doing this, you very carefully say that a new believer is supposed to be bearing fruit.
or, in other words, if the answer is " yes, a new believer is able to bear fruit" your next comment would be, " well, if they are able , then why are they not?".
so, use the plausible denial tactic all you want, me and some others see right through it.
