But as to what they say, arguing as follows:\r\nIf we have sinned against the Holy Ghost, in that we\r\nhave treated your baptism with contempt, why is it that you\r\nseek us, seeing that we cannot possibly receive remission of\r\nthis sin, as the Lord says, \"Whosoever speaketh against the\r\nHoly Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,\r\nneither in the world to come?\"<a id=\"FNanchor_1266_1266\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1266_1266\">[1266]</a>—they do not perceive that<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_518\">[Pg 518]</a></span>\r\naccording to their interpretation of the passage none can be\r\ndelivered. For who is there that does not speak against the\r\nHoly Ghost and sin against Him, whether we take the case of\r\none who is not yet a Christian, or of one who shares in the\r\nheresy of Arius, or of Eunomius, or of Macedonius, who all say\r\nthat He is a creature; or of Photinus, who denies that He\r\nhas any substance at all, saying that there is only one God,\r\nthe Father; or of any of the other heretics, whom it would\r\nnow take too long a time to mention in detail? Are none,\r\ntherefore, of these to be delivered? Or if the Jews themselves,\r\nagainst whom the Lord directed His reproach, were to\r\nbelieve in Him, would they not be allowed to be baptized? for\r\nthe Saviour does not say, Shall be forgiven in baptism; but\r\n\"Shall not be forgiven, neither in this world, neither in the\r\nworld to come.\"</p>","headings":["WRITINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE DONATIST CONTROVERSY.","A TREATISE CONCERNING THE CORRECTION OF THE DONATISTS; FORMING EPISTLE 185 IN MIGNE'S EDITION OF AUGUSTINE'S WORKS."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45843-paragraph-802"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"821b99809d5d6f2f22190e319f635f8b99c3f3953b3e1888dbcfdaf03cf822e8","edition_title":"Writings in Connection with the Donatist Controversy","edition_translators":["John Richard King"],"edition_year":1872,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"MAT","chapter":12,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Matt. xii. 32","verse":32,"verse_end":32}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45843-Footnote_1266_1266","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
