St. Augustine said that only the sins of___________ could be forgiven by God.
a.adults
b.baptized
people
c.saints
THE ANSWER IS . B .baptized people
Here
is the full quote: There are three ways in which sins are forgiven: in
baptism, in prayer, and in the greater humility of penance; yet God does not
forgive sins except to the baptized. (Sermons
to Catechumens on the Creed 7:15 [A.D. 395])
Even
so, St. Augustine adds that one studying to be a member of the Catholic Church
who is filled with love for God, but who has not yet been baptized, has a
better chance of heaven than a baptized heretic, who turned away from the
Catholic Church. (See: On Baptism,
Against the Donatists 4:21:28 [400 A.D.])
