(A contribution to the

of Western baptism)
Canon VII
of the
Second Ecumenical Council,
Constantinople, 381a.d.
On how heretics are to be
received:
Orthodoxy and Baptism
As for heretics who convert to Orthodoxy and
join the portion of the saved, we receive them in accordance with the following
procedure and custom: We receive Arians, and Macedonians, and Sabbatians, and
Novatians who call themselves Catharoi and Aristeroi, and Tessareskaidekatitae
otherwise known as Tetraditae, and Apollinarists, when they submit written
statements, and anathematize every heresy that does not believe as the holy,
catholic, and Apostolic Church of God believes, and are first sealed with holy
Myron on the forehead, and the eyes, and the nose, and the mouth, and the ears;
and in sealing them we say: "Seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit."
