So, too, there are others who promise this deliverance from eternal
punishment, not, indeed, to all men, but only to those who have been
washed in Christian baptism, and who become partakers of the body of
Christ, no matter how they have lived, or what heresy or impiety they
have fallen into. They ground this opinion on the saying of Jesus,
"This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that if any man eat
thereof, he shall not die. I am the living bread which came down from
heaven. If a man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever."
Therefore, say they, it follows that these persons must be delivered
from death eternal, and at one time or other be introduced to
everlasting life.
