Chapter 21

Anti-Donatist Writings · Saint Augustine of Hippo

Chapter 21.—40. Julianus of Telepte said: "It is written, ‘A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven;’ if heresy is from heaven, it can give baptism."

Donat 1.180.1

41. Let him hear another also saying: If covetousness is from heaven, it can give baptism. And yet the covetous do confer it; so therefore also may the heretics.

Donat 1.180.2
