Chrysostom: All In The Church Have Been Forgiven In Baptism
This is another interesting quote from St. John Chrysostom, in which he again teaches the position that no one can be saved without baptism. He comments on Ephesians 4:4-7, where St. Paul declares that there is “one Lord, one faith, one baptism”. Based on this text, Chrysostom concludes that just as everyone in the Church has the same God, everyone in the Church has received the remission of sins in baptism. According to Chrysostom, to posit that someone who has not received the remission of sins in baptism can be in the unity of the Church is equivalent to asserting that some people in the Church can confess “a greater God” while others in the Church confess “a lesser God” (which is of course unthinkable).
St. John Chrysostom, Homily 11 on Ephesians [4:4-7]: “There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism [Eph. 4:5]. Behold the hope of your calling. One God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all [Eph. 4:6]. For can it be, that you are called by the name of a greater God, another, of a lesser God? That you are saved by faith, and another by works? That you have received remission in baptism, while another has not… The chief and principal points of all, he says — Baptism, the being saved by faith, the having God for our Father, our all partaking of the same Spirit — these are common to all.”
