Albert Einstein originally predicted this effect in his theory of relativity and it has since been confirmed by tests of general relativity."
You obviously have a problem with basic comprehension skills.

Here is my original quote.

Quote:
Relativity also "applies" to non expanding cosmological models where time dilation doesn't exist.
Metric expansion (cosmological redshift) is a property of the cosmological model not GR.

The only form of redshift which is derived by GR/SR is gravitational redshift.
The discussion centres around time dilation effects due to cosmological redshift not gravitational redshift.
