SEVENTH COUNCIL PART 2 Christ Jesus speaking to His
Church "Arise and come, my neighbour, my fair one, my dove; in the shelter of the rock by the outwork show me thy face, and let me hear thy voice; for thy voice is sweet, and thy face is fair." Song of Solomon 2:14 Note! our inserts will be in this color
The truth of our Mother
the Catholic Church, Beloved brother Munnulus,
has just given an
AMAZING confession.
Do you hear it? For "who", or "what",
or "where", is "THE MOTHER" (
DONATUS OF CIBALIANA SAID: Since I know one Church and her one baptism. Beloved brother Donatus, has just given an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? For he said that he knew ONLY ONE CHURCH AND HER ONE BAPTISM. Let us ask, What is the Church? Let us remember what we saw at
the start of this
council. That when these
HEAVENLY
leaders of THE HEAVENLY CHURCH OF CHRIST,
mention the word
“CHURCH”
in their statements in this council, they are referring to
THE VERY HEAVENLY SPIRITUAL FLESH
AND BONE OF THE MESSIAH WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
IT IS THE
VERY BODY OF CHRIST (see Eph.1:22-23). Indeed, the Church is of His very
flesh and bone
Eph.5:29-30,
therefore what Beloved brother Donatus is saying, is that THERE IS NO
WATER BAPTISM for remission of sin, OUTSIDE OF THE FLESH AND BONE OF CHRIST.
So that all must only enter CHRIST'S BAPTISM (and no other), in order to
find
CHRIST'S
SPIRIT, CHRIST'S WATER, AND CHRIST'S BLOOD.
If there is any who says that the grace of baptism is with heretics, he must
first show and prove that the Church is among them.
Thank you brother Donatus, for
this most Holy confession.
MARCELLUS OF ZAMA SAID: Since sins are not remitted save in the baptism of the Church, Beloved brother Marcellus, has just given an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? Again, just like Beloved brother Donatus, Beloved brother Marcellus is saying that no sin is forgiven, unless one enterONLY ONE BAPTISM.
The baptism of Christ
(see Rom.6:3-4) he who does not
baptize a heretic holds communion with a sinner.
Thank you brother Marcellus, for
this most Holy confession.
Novatus of Thamugada said: Although we know that all the Scriptures give witness concerning the saving baptism, still we ought to declare our faith, that heretics and schismatics who come to the Church, and appear to have been falsely baptized, ought to be baptized in the everlasting fountain; and therefore, according to the testimony of the Scriptures, Beloved brother Novatus, has just given an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? Here we see that ALL the scriptures, Moses, the prophets and Psalms, (see Luke 24:44-47), that give testimony in regards to THE SAVING BAPTISM, give a testimony only of an
EVERLASTING, (i.e., SPIRITUAL,) HEAVENLY WATER BAPTISMAL
fountain. FOR WE
KNOW THAT THAT WHATEVER IS 'EVERLASTING' MUST BE SPIRITUAL AND NOT OF
THIS WORLD WHICH PASSES AWAY. And notice he said that all those who do
not bring this faithful 'EVERLASTING' baptismal testimony in the scriptures,
are false, and bring a false testimony in regard to baptism; (see Jeremiah
2:13, 17:13)
and according to the decree of our
colleagues, men of most holy memory, that all schismatics and heretics who
are converted to the Church must be baptized; and moreover, that those who
appeared to have been ordained must be received among lay people.
Thank you brother Novatus, for
this most Holy confession.
Felix of Uthina said: Nobody doubts, most holy fellow-priests, that human presumption is not able to do so much as the adorable and venerable majesty of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, remembering the danger, we ought not only to observe this also, but moreover to confirm it by the voice of all of us, that all heretics who come to the bosom of Mother Church should be baptized, that thus the heretical mind that has been polluted by a long decay, be purged by the sanctification of the laver, may be reformed for the better. Beloved brother Felix has just given an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? Here we see that Beloved brother Felix says that it is, the heretical mind that must be purged by the baptism. What natural water can do that? For as we know, the mind, is a spiritual thing, and must be washed by a Spiritual washing. Also, Brother Felix says; purged by the sanctification of the laver. As we know, one IS PURGED, AND SANCTIFIED, by only our Lord's baptism (see Heb. 1:3,10:10). And what do we say about all this? For sure, the heretical mind needs to come "NOW" to The Holy Heavenly Church of WISDOM ABOVE, in order to hear her Words of heavenly righteousness that pluck out the many thorns of the carnal doctrines of heresies that are in the heretical mind, as the apostle Peter tells us," In as much as, by long continued neglect on your part, to your own
injury, your mind has caused to sprout many hurtful conceptions about
religion, and ye have become like land fallow by the carelessness of the
husbandman, you need a long time for your purification, that your mind
,receiving like good seed the true Word that is imparted to you, may not
choke it with evil cares, and render it unfruitful with respect to works
that are able to save you. Wherefore it behooves those who are careful of
their own salvation to hear more constantly, that their sins which have been
long multiplying, may in the short time that remains, be matched with
constant care for their purification." Here we see that our constant care, should be to have our mind purified
by heavenly wisdom above. But how can this happen if we are not willing now
to come to
"He instituted baptism by water amongst them, in which they might be absolved from all their sins on the invocation of His name, and for the future, following a perfect life (i.e., following wisdom above), might abide in immortality, being purified not by the blood of beasts, but by the purification of the wisdom of God." Apostle Peter Recognitions of Clement
Castus of Sicca said: He who with contempt of the truth presumes to follow custom, is either envious and malignant in respect of his brethren to whom the truth is revealed, or is ungrateful in respect of God, by whose inspiration His Church is instructed. Here brother Castus has just made an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? As we know, truth and grace came in the flesh of Christ (John 1:14). And it is still only found in The flesh of Christ. The saving water baptism of grace and truth cannot be found outside of the flesh of Christ. Here we see that Stephen was acting in contempt of the flesh of Christ by confessing a water baptism that was outside the flesh of Christ. And what do we say of the heretic systems of today? Are they not acting in contempt of the flesh of Christ, by advocating a
water baptism in
a tank of water, in a lake, etc, in water that is outside Christ's flesh?
Indeed, the great falling away from the truth of Christ's water baptism came
long ago, and the heretic church's of today follow custom rather than truth
and grace. And how will anyone escape their deadly customs that deny The
Messiah's truth and grace? Only by washing in the immortal waters from
above, as The Christian Sibyllines tell us,
"Having washed away the former iniquities in the waters of an immortal
spring, that born from above they may no more be in thrall to the
anarchic customs of the world."
Euchratius of Thenae said: God and our Lord Jesus Christ, teaching the apostles with His own mouth, has entirely completed our faith, and the grace of baptism, and the rule of the ecclesiastical law, saying: "Go ye and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Beloved brother Euchratius has just given an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? Here we see that baptism "is the rule of the law". Heretics and schismatics all say that they perform the law in their churches. But as we now know (from hearing these heavenly confessors), "the baptism of grace" is only found in the flesh of The Messiah. And as we know, heretics do not confess a water baptism that is only found in the flesh of The Messiah. Giving us proof that they DO NOT perform The Rule of the law in their churches. Thus the false and wicked baptism of heretics must be rejected by us, and refuted with all detestation, from whose mouth is expressed poison, not life, not celestial grace, but blasphemy of the Trinity (see 1John 5:7). And therefore it is manifest that heretics who come to the Church ought to be baptized with the sound and Catholic baptism, in order that, being purified from the blasphemy of their presumption, they may be reformed by the grace of the Holy Spirit. Here we see that the baptism that heretics perform in their churches, IS NOT a symbol of the true baptism of Christ (as they all say that it is), but that it is in fact a blasphemy against the baptism of Christ and His Church.
Rogatianus of Nova said: Christ instituted the Church; the devil, heresy. How can the synagogue of Satan have the baptism of Christ? Beloved brother Rogatianus, has just given us an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? He said that IT WAS THE BAPTISM OF CHRIST! In this confession, brother Rogatianus said that the water baptism that ALL these Holy confessors were talking about, was THE VERY BAPTISM OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS, WHEN CHRIST SHED HIS WATER AND BLOOD. Let us ask, why then do men bring people to earthly water? Because they are heretics, and know not the water and blood of Christ's church, the water and blood of Christ's saving grace.
Clarus of Mascula said: The sentence of our Master Jesus Christ is plain, when He sent His apostles, and accorded to them alone the power given to Him by His Father; and to them we have succeeded, governing the Lord's Church with the same power, and baptizing the faith of believers. And therefore heretics, who neither have power without, nor have the Church of The Messiah, are able to baptize no one with His baptism. Beloved brother Clarus has just given an AMAZING confession. What? Who's water baptism? HIS WATER BAPTISM!!! Friends, of a truth, water baptism must now be rethought completely, for there has been a great falling away from understanding of what it is, whose it is, and how it should be applied.
Victor of Assuri said: It is written, that " God is one, and Christ is one, and the Church is one, and baptism is one." How, therefore, can any one be baptized there, where God, and Christ, and the one Church is not? Beloved brother Victor, has just given us an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? Where is Christ? IN HEAVEN (Heb.1:3)! If the baptismal water is IN HIM, how can it be found here on earth?
Saturninus of Avitini said: If antichrist can give to any one the grace of Christ, heretics also are able to baptize, for they are called antichrists. Beloved brother Saturninus has just given us an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? He showed that baptism was the grace of Christ. Remember, grace is only found in His flesh (John 1:14). Therefore, how can the baptismal water be outside His flesh?
Hortensianus of Lares said: Let either these presumptuous ones, or those who favour heretics, consider how many baptisms there are. We claim for the Church one baptism, which we know not except in the Church. Or how can they baptize any one in the name of Christ, whom Christ Himself declares to be His adversaries? Here brother Hortensianus has just made an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? We know that ALL of these beloved Bishops came together to give the VERY SAME HOLY MOTHER CATHOLIC CONFESSION ABOUT BAPTISM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT IS DONE IN THE FLESH OF THE CHRIST. Here we see that beloved Hortensianus speaks about baptism DONE IN THE SINGLE NAME OF CHRIST. THAT'S BECAUSE HIS NAME IS 'THE WORD'!!! BAPTISM IS TO BE DONE IN ONE WORD (name) ONLY
1 John 5:7!!!
Secundianus of Thambei said: We ought not to deceive heretics by our presumption; so that they who have not been baptized in the Congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, and have not obtained by this means remissions of their sins, when the day of judgment shall come, should impute to us that through us they were not baptized, and did not obtain the indulgence of divine grace. On which account, since there is one Church and one baptism, when they are converted to us they should obtain, together with the Church, the Church's baptism also. Beloved brother Secundianus, has just given us an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? He said that Christ's water baptism, is the means of receiving remission of sins. And! That this water baptism is the indulgence of the Divine grace God given to mankind.
Ahymnus of Ausvaga said: We have received one baptism, and that same we maintain and practise. But he who says that heretics also may legitimately baptize, makes two baptisms. Indeed, it is most important for us all to see that The Lord, The WORD, baptized it's own flesh on the cross. ONE BAPTISM ONLY! HIS (see Eph.5:26)!!!
Lucius of Castra Galbae said: Since the Lord in His Gospel said, "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt should have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out of doors, and to be trodden under foot of men." And again, after His resurrection, sending His apostles, He gave them charge, saying, "All power is given unto me, in heaven and in earth. Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Since, therefore, it is manifest that heretics that is, the enemies of Christ have not the sound confession of the sacrament; moreover, that schismatics cannot season others with spiritual wisdom, Beloved brother Lucius, has just given an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? Here beloved Lucius, shows that this salt = SPIRITUAL WISDOM. And that the baptismal water must be of SPIRITUAL WISDOM. And that only in the Holy Mother Catholic Congregation can one get this water, as it is written," With the bread of understanding shall she (she, i.e., the Mother wisdom
above) feed him, and give him the water of wisdom to drink" since they themselves, by departing from the Church, which is one, having lost the savour, have become contrary to it, let it be done as it is written, "The house of those that are contrary to the law owes a cleansing." Proverbs 14:9 The Septuagint Bible. Here we see that "IT IS THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LAW" that we must enter THE HOLY CATHOLIC CONGREGATION, AND BE WATER BAPTIZED IN IT. And it is a consequence that those who, having been baptized by people who are contrary to the Church, are polluted, must first be cleansed, and then at length be baptized.
Nicomedes of Segermae said: My opinion is this, that heretics coming to the Congregation should be baptized, for the reason that among sinners without they can obtain no remission of sins. Without baptism there is no remission of sins;
Acts 2:38. Outside the Christ's flesh there is no
baptism. Do the heretic systems of this world, say that the water baptism
for remission of sins, is only found in Christ's flesh? NO! THEY DO NOT.
Felix of Gurgites said: I judge that, according to the precepts of the holy Scriptures, he who is illegitimately baptized by heretics outside the Church, when he wishes to take refuge in the Church, should obtain the grace of baptism where it is legitimately given. Here we see again, that baptism is grace. And as we know, the grace of Christ is ONLY FOUND IN HIS FLESH (see John 1:14).
Donatus of Cibaliana said: I know one Church and her one baptism. If there is any who says that the grace of baptism It is most important that we all understand just what is being said here by this leader of the Church. For he said "the grace of baptism". Therefore we see that GRACE IS BAPTISM. To be saved by grace, is to be saved by this one heavenly Holy baptism. No baptism, no saving grace! is with heretics, he must first show and prove that the Church is among them.
Sedatus of Tuburbo said: In the degree in which water sanctified in the Church by the prayer of the priest, washes away sins; in that degree, if infected with heretical discourse as with a cancer, it heaps up sins. Wherefore we must endeavour with all peaceful powers, that no one infected and stained with heretical error refuse to receive the single and true baptism of the Church, by which whosoever is not baptized, shall become an alien from the kingdom of heaven. Beloved brother Sedatus has just made an AMAZING confession. Do you hear it? Here we see that the water in the Church, is sanctified discourse (doctrine), by the power of the prayer of Christ (see John 15:3). But doctrine that is heretical heaps up sins. In order to avoid these sins, the single and true water of the peaceful (see Romans 8:6) powers within the Church, must be received. And whosoever will not receive these peaceful powers, will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Nemesianus of Thubunae said: That the baptism which heretics and schismatics bestow is not the true one, is everywhere declared in the Holy Scriptures, indeed, please see"What
Early Christian Teachers Say" on this web site
since their very leading men are
false Christs and false prophets, as the Lord says by Solomon: "He who
trusteth in that which is false, he feedeth the winds; and the very same,
moreover, followeth the flight of birds. For he forsaketh the ways of his
own vineyard, he has wandered from the paths of his own little field. But he
walketh through pathless places, and dry, and a land destined for thirst;
moreover, he gathereth together fruitless things in his hands."
Proverbs 9 :12 The
Septuagint Bible
And again: "Abstain from strange water,
and from the fountain of another do not drink, that you may live a long
time; also that the years of life may be added to thee."
A very, very important
baptismal scripture ( taken out of most Bibles) but used by many of the
early Christian teachers. (see Proverbs 19:19 The Septuagint Bible)
And in the Gospel our Lord Jesus
Christ spoke with His divine voice, saying, "Except a man be born again of
water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."
Here
we see that without this water baptism, no one enters the kingdom
This is the Spirit which from
the beginning was borne over the waters; for neither can the Spirit operate
without the water, nor the water without the Spirit.
Note, that this is the heavenly
Spirit, and the heavenly water of Genesis 1:1-6 that beloved
Nemesianus is confessing here
Certain people therefore
interpret for themselves ill, when they say that by imposition of the hand
they receive the Holy Spirit, and are thus received, when it is manifest
that they ought to be born again in the Catholic Church by both sacraments.
Then indeed they will be able to be sons of God, as says the apostle:
"Taking care to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is
one body, and one Spirit, as ye have been called in one hope of your
calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God." All these things speaks
the Catholic Church.
This is the Holy unity, the
heavenly Congregation, that a heretic heart will not confess, nor seek to
enter because of their works; (see John 3:20)
And again, in the Gospel the
Lord says: "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born
of the Spirit is spirit; because God is a Spirit, and he is born of God."
Therefore, whatsoever things all heretics and schismatics do are carnal,
as the apostle says: "For the works of the flesh are manifest, which are,
fornications, uncleannesses, incest, idolatries, witchcrafts, hatreds,
contentions, jealousy, anger, divisions, heresies, and the
like to these; concerning which I have told you before, as I also foretell
you now, that whoever do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
Here
we see that all these CARNAL things, refer to the doctrines of the heretics
and schismatics, for their CARNAL religious doctrines are called doctrines
of "divisions and heresies " (see
"FAQ" on this web site), doctrines of
fornications, witchcrafts, idolatries, etc .
And thus the apostle condemns, with all the wicked, those also who cause
division, that is, schismatics and heretics. Unless therefore they
receive saving baptism in the Catholic Church, which is one, they cannot be
saved, but will be condemned with the carnal in the judgment of the LordJesus Christ. Let us ask, what is the carnal WATER baptism that will be condemned in the judgment of The Lord, and that all the heretic systems at this time advocate in the name of Christ? We find the answer in Cyprian's epistle #75, for he writes; "For in the sacrament of salvation the contagion of sins is not in such wise washed away, as the filth of the skin and of the body is washed away IN THE CARNAL and ordinary washing, as that there should be need of saltpetre and other appliances also, and a bath and a basin wherewith this vile body must be washed ..."
Pusillus of Lamasba said: I believe that there is no saving baptism except in the Catholic Congregation. Whatsoever is apart from the Catholic Church is a pretence. Here we see that WATER BAPTISM IS A SAVING BAPTISM. The heretic churches today, will not confess this HOLY TRUTH OF SALVATION BY HIS WATER BAPTISM.
Honoratus of Thucca said: Since The Messiah is the Truth, we ought rather to follow truth than custom; so that we should sanctify heretics with the Congregation's baptism, seeing that they come to us for the reason that they could receive nothing without. Here we see that Christ's water baptism IS THE TRUTH, and that one is SANCTIFIED in this water baptism. Proving that the apostle Paul in 1 Cor. 6:11, was saying that it was in Christ's water baptism that one is SANCTIFIED.
Januarius of Vicus Caesaris said: If error does not obey truth, much more truth does not consent to error; and therefore we stand by the Church in which we preside, that, claiming her baptism for herself alone, Here we see that THE HOLY MOTHER CATHOLIC CONGREGATION (i.e., WISDOM ABOVE ), makes confession that THERE IS NO WATER BAPTISM BUT HERS ALONE! Please see " Heavenly Jerusalem", on this web site under the subtitle'Him That Overcometh'.
we should baptize those whom the
Congregation has not baptized.
Caecilius of Bilta said: I know only one baptism in the Congregation, and none out of the Congregation. This one will be here, where there is the true hope and the certain faith. We must understand that the beloved Caecilius is speaking here of the hope and faith of his Holy Mother Catholic Church. Which is heavenly wisdom, The Eternal Mother of all the children who are of her faith, as it is written," I (heavenly wisdom) am the Mother of fair love, and fear, and
knowledge, and Holy hope; I therefore, being eternal, am given to all my
children which are named of Him." For thus it is written: "One faith, one hope, one baptism; " not among heretics, where there is no hope, i.e., where there is no Holy Mother Catholic Congregation, wisdom above, the flesh of The Messiah. For the religious works that heretics do are not in the flesh of The Messiah, but in a shadowy pretence of it; see Colossians 2:16-23 and the faith is false, where all things are carried on by lying; where a demoniac exorcises; where one whose mouth and words send forth a cancer puts the sacramental interrogation i.e., they bring forth falsely the Holy Apostles Creed of The Heavenly Catholic Congregation the faithless gives faith; the wicked bestows pardon of sins; and antichrist baptizes in the name of Christ; he who is cursed of God blesses; he who is dead promises life; he who is unpeaceful i.e., he is unpeaceful, because he has not the Spiritual mind of Christ, which alone gives the peaceful Spiritual understanding of the heavenly Spiritual doctrine of His Father; (see Romans 8:6, John 6:63, Rev.19:12-13) gives peace; the blasphemer calls upon God; the profane person administers the office of the priesthood; the sacrilegious person establishes an altar. In addition to all these things, there is also this evil, that the priests of the devil dare to celebrate the Eucharist; or else let those who stand by them say that all these things concerning heretics are false. Behold to what kind of things the Church is compelled to consent, and is constrained without baptism, without pardon of sins, to hold communion. And this thing, brethren, we ought to flee from and avoid, and to separate ourselves from so great a wickedness, and to hold one baptism, which is granted by Christ to the Church alone.
Adelphius of Thasvalte said: Certain persons without reason impugn the truth by false and envious words, in saying that we re-baptize, when the Congregation does not re-baptize heretics, but baptizes them. Indeed, it is not a question of being re-baptized into grace and truth, but of being baptized into grace and truth."Grace is of the elect! and who shall receive it except those who trust in it from the beginning? Odes of Solomon 23:2
Januarius of Muzzuli said: I am surprised, since all confess that there is one baptism, (see Eph.4:5) that all do not perceive the unity of the same baptism. (please see subtitle 'One
Baptism' in the "
Unity of Brethren" article that is on this web site)
For the Church and heresy are two
things, and different things. If heretics have baptism, we have it not; but
if we have it, heretics cannot have it. But there is no doubt that the
Church alone possesses the baptism of Christ, since she alone possesses both
the grace and the truth of Christ.
Amen, only the flesh of The
Messiah, possesses both the grace and the truth of The Messiah, (see John
1:14). Therefore, the one water baptism of grace and truth, cannot be found
outside The Messiah's flesh.
Libosus of Vaga said: In the Gospel The Lord says, "I am the truth." He said not," I am the custom." Therefore the truth being manifest, let custom yield to truth; so that, although for the past any one was not in the habit of baptizing heretics in the Church, let him now begin to baptize them. Here we see only the water baptism that is found in the heavenly Church (flesh) of The Messiah, is the water baptism of truth. NOTE! Christ in His heavenly Gospel told us all that God is a Spirit, and that God must be worshipped in Spirit and truth (see John 4:24). Now let us all ask ourselves, are we worshipping God in Spirit and truth? If we have not entered the one and only water baptism, i.e., if we have not entered the water baptism that is the one and only water baptism of truth that is found only in the heavenly flesh of The Messiah, how can we be worshipping God in truth and not in custom? We must repent, and cast out the custom water baptism from our heart, and come to be baptized in the true water baptism, or we will never be worshipping God in Spirit and truth .
Theogenes of Hippo Regius said: According to the sacrament of God's heavenly grace which we have received, we believe one baptism which is in the holy Congregation. Beloved Brother Theogenes, has just made an AMAZING confession. Here we see that the saving sacrament of heavenly grace, (which is only in the flesh of the Messiah; see John 1:14), is found only in The Holy Mother Catholic Congregation.
Victoricus of Thabraca said: If heretics are allowed to baptize and to give remission of sins, wherefore do we brand them with infamy and call them heretics? We understand from this statement, that baptism and remission of sins is the same. And all the Holy Bishops here confess that remission of sins and baptism are found in only one place. Let us ask ourselves, where did we get baptized for remission of our sins? Was it in the heavenly water of wisdom above?
Secundinus of Cedias said: Since our Lord Christ says, "He who is not with me is against me; " and John the apostle calls those who depart from the Church, antichrists undoubtedly enemies of Christ, any such as are called antichrists cannot minister the grace of saving baptism. And therefore I think that those who flee from the snares of the heretics to the Church must be baptized by us, who are called friends of God, of His condescension. Let us notice that beloved brother Secundinus, said that Cyprian and all the the rest of these Holy confessors were called, "FRIENDS OF God." How do we become FRIENDS OF God ? It is written about HEAVENLY WISDOM, THE HOLY MOTHER OF THE HOLY CATHOLIC CONGREGATION ,"And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she
maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she
maketh them friends of God, and prophets. For God loveth none but him
that dwelleth with wisdom." Here we see that no religious works of MAKING THINGS NEW, i.e., OF MAKING THINGS SPIRITUAL, ETERNAL etc, can be done outside of THE HOLY MOTHER OF THE HOLY CATHOLIC CONGREGATION. Here we see that no one becomes NEW, BORN AGAIN, without entering THE HOLY CATHOLIC CONGREGATION. Here we see that no one becomes a FRIEND OF God, without entering THE HOLY MOTHER AND THE HOLY CATHOLIC CONGREGATION. Here we see that GOD LOVETH NONE BUT HIM WHO IS IN THE HOLY MOTHER AND HER HOLY CATHOLIC CONGREGATION.
Fortunatus of Tuccaboris said: Jesus Christ our Lord and God, Son of God the Father and Creator, built His Church upon a rock, not upon heresy; and gave the power of baptizing to bishops, not to heretics. Wherefore they who are without the Church, and, standing in opposition to Christ, disperse His sheep and flock, cannot baptize, being without. To understand THE ROCK, and the baptism of the Church of the rock, please see "The Lost Heavenly Baptism of The Church" on this web site, under the subtitle '
Christ The Rock, Pours Forth Living Water'.
CYprian of Carthage said: The letter which was written to our colleague Jubaianus very fully expresses my opinion, that, according to evangelical and apostolic testimony, heretics, who are called adversaries of Christ and antichrists, when they come to the Church, must be baptized with the one baptism of the Church, that they may be made of adversaries, friends, and of antichrists, Christians.
Eugenius of Ammedera said: And I determine the same-that heretics must be baptized. Few words indeed from a Bishop. But at the judgment of The Messiah, they will be seen as being more then enough.
Polycarp from Adrumetum said: They who approve the baptism of heretics make void our baptism. We confess with you our beloved heavenly brother Polycarp, that we do not approve of the baptism that the heretics approve of here on earth. And that we fight against it beloved brother.
