Works Augustine of Hippo (354-430) The Seven Books of Augustin, Bishop of Hippo On Baptism, Against the Donatists
Book VII.
Chapter 44.

86.

Secundianus of Thambei 1 said: "We ought not to deceive heretics by our too great forwardness, that not having been baptized in the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ, and having therefore not received remission of their sins, they may not impute to us, when the day of judgment comes, that we have been the cause of their not being baptized, and not having obtained the indulgence of the grace of God. On which account, since there is one Church and one baptism, when they are converted to us, let them receive together with the Church the baptism also of the Church." 2
