“The Donatists held. … many of the principles which are regarded as axioms by modern Baptists. They maintained absolute freedom of conscience, the divorce of church and a regenerate church membership. These principles, coupled with their uniform practice of immersion, bring them into close affinity with Baptists.” We may, therefore, having examined the only charges on which the Donatists are called in question as Baptists, conclude the examination as proving, beyond any reasonable doubt, that, in all essential respects, the Donatists were genuine Baptist churches.
CHAPTER 11. — THE PAULICIANS. The origin of the name, Paulicians, is: “Constantine, from the neighborhood of Samosata and connected with a gnostic generation. … found in the perusal of the New Testament a world unknown, and became animated with the hope (about 660) of bringing hack a state of things which had existed in the apostolic church. He assumed the name of Silvanus, and called those communities which acknowledged him as a reformer, Pauline congregations. By their opponents they were called Paulicians.” f211 Instead of Constantine having originated the Paulicians, or of their beginning in his time, Mosheim says: “Constantino revived, under the reign of Constans, the drooping faction of the Paulicians, which was now ready to expire and propagated with great success its pestilential doctrines.” f210 Thus, they were revived, just were Schaff and others leave them, in a weak condition under the name Donatists. But, as is seen in Chapter XIX of this book, this is not the origin of the people who were called Paulicians. Manichaeism being the main charge against the Paulicians, is here noticed first. “Photius possessed great ability. … Gass says another synod deposed Photius in 867 as a ‘liar and adulterer, parricide and heretic.’ This is the chief witness on whose evidence the Paulicians are condemned.” f212 Mosheim says: “The Greeks treated the Paulicians. … as Manichaeans; though, if we may credit the testimony of Photius, the Paulicians, expressed the utmost abhorrence of Manes and his doctrine.” Even Mosheim concedes: Kurtz: “Most evident it is that they were not altogether Manichaeans, though they embraced some opinions that resembled certain tenets of that abominable sect.” f213 “The Catholic controversial writers of the ninth century traced the sect of the Paulicians and even their name to a Manichaean family of the fourth century.
