Saint Augustine (354-430)

Of Baptism

Translated by J. R. King

Book VI

Chapter 42


Adelphius of Thasbalte said: “It is surely without cause that they find fault with the truth in false and invidious terms, saying that we rebaptize, since the Church does not rebaptize heretics, but baptizes them.”

Truly enough it does not rebaptize them, because it only baptizes those who were not baptized before; and this earlier custom has only been confirmed in a later Council by a more careful perfecting of the truth.
