Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series I/Volume IV/Donatist Controversy/On Baptism/Book VI/Chapter 39

by Philip Schaff et al.

Chapter 39.—75.  Eugenius of Ammedera^[1] said:  "I too pronounce this same judgment, that heretics should be baptized."^[2]

76.  To him we answer:  But this is not the judgment which the Church pronounces, to which also God has now revealed in a plenary Council the point in which ye were then still otherwise minded,^[3] but because saving charity was in you, ye remained in unity.
