Ca sa nu mai lungim discutia cu probleme adiacente, pana acum nu am dat un argument esential, canonul apostolic urmator celui dezbatut aici. Acela spune ca nu se pot reboteza cei ce au botez valid, deci nu se pot reboteza intr-o regiune si intr-o alta regiune nu. Daca ar avea ereticii botez valid nu s-ar putea reboteza. Acelasi canon spune in continuare si despre botezul ereticilor, acestia trebuid rebotezati.
Varianta de pe site-ul catolic:
http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/3820.htm
Canon 46
We ordain that a bishop, or presbyter, who has admitted the baptism or sacrifice of heretics, be deposed. For what concord has Christ with Belial, or what part has a believer with an infidel?
Canon 47
Let a bishop or presbyter who shall baptize again one who has rightly received baptism, or who shall not baptize one who has been polluted by the ungodly, be deposed, as despising the cross and death of the Lord, and not making a distinction between the true priests and the false.
Vedem in varianta in engleza ca la canonul 46 screi de admiterea botezului ereticilor, adcia ceea ce am sustinut eu.
