Niceta of Remesiana (335-414) Affirming Baptismal Regeneration in Explanation of the Creed

  

Next, you believe in the forgiveness of sins. This is the grace by which those who believe in and confess God and Christ receive in baptism the remission of all their sins. We call it a rebirth, because it makes a man more innocent and pure than when he is born from his mother’s womb. (Niceta of Remesiana, Explanation of the Creed, 10, in Writings, Commonitories, Grace and Freewill [trans. Gerald G. Walsh; The Fathers of the Church 7; Washington, D.C.: The Catholic University of America Press, 1949], 50)
