Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book IV

And whom He did predestinate, them He also called; and whom He called, them He also justified; and whom He justified, them He also glorified."[68]

A Treatise of Novatian Concerning the Trinity

no one has ever denied Christ to be the Son of God, or has rejected God the Creator; no one utters any words of his own contrary to the Scriptures; no one ordains other and sacrilegious decrees; no one draws up different laws.[263]
