 Firmilian
Dionysius counts Firmilian as one of "the more eminent bishops" in a letter to Pope Stephen (ibid., VII, v, 1), where his expression "Firmilian and all Cappadocia" again implies that Cæsarea was already a metropolitan see.
Firmilian is fond of dilemmas: for instance, either the heretics do not give the Holy Ghost, in which case rebaptism is necessary, or else they do give it, in which case Stephen should not enjoin the laying on of hands.
Firmilian tells the Africans that with them the custom of rebaptizing may be new, but in Cappadocia it is not, and he can answer Stephen by opposing tradition to tradition, for it was their practice from the beginning (c.

He was born into a clerical family in Kaona, Serbia, the son of many generations of priests, specifically, born into the family of the Archpriest Uros Ocokoljich, and his mother Darinka, also the daughter of a priest.
Perhaps it may be stated that of all the pastorates encountered by Father FIRMILIAN, nothing was to remain as dear to his heart as the Monastery of St. Sava in Libertyville.
The then Bishop-elect FIRMILIAN was consecrated, as the first Hierarch of the infant Diocese, in the Cathedral Church of St. Sava in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the 1st of August, 1963.

Again, St. Basil (St. Firmilian's successor, BTW) points out that the reason for the practice is pastoral -- not, as Pope Stephen had claimed, because their baptism was itself a true baptism.
Firmilian pointed out of Pope Stephen and his supporters that "among [the heretics in question] they themselves confess that the Holy Spirit is not" [ANF Vol.

 Nicene and Ante-Nicene Fathers, Ser. II, Vol I: The Church History of Eusebius.: Chapter XXVI
Firmilian, bishop of Cæsarea, the capital of Cappadocia (to be distinguished from Cæsarea in Palestine), was one of the most famous prelates of his day in the Eastern Church.
He was a friend of Origen, as we learn from the next chapter, and took part in a council called on account of the schism of Novatian (see chap.
Basil (de Spiritu Sancto, 29) refers to works (λόγοι) left by Firmilian, but none of them are extant except the single epistle mentioned, nor do we hear from any other source that he was a writer.

 CHURCH FATHERS: Epistle (Malchion)
After some few introductory words, they proceed thus:—We wrote to many of the bishops, even those who live at a distance, and exhorted them to give their help in relieving us from this deadly doctrine; among these, we addressed, for instance, Dionysius, the bishop of Alexandria, and Firmilian of Cappadocia, those men of blessed name.
And Firmilian, who came twice in person, condemned the innovations in doctrine, as we who were present know and bear witness, and as many others know as well as we.
And now Firmilian was minded to cross to Antioch; and he came as far as Tarsus, as having already made trial of the man's infidel

When he joined the army, he was given a high rank in recognition of his father’s prominence.
The Greek Acts, published with a Latin translation in "Analecta Bollaniana", III 258 (Surlus XI 241) tell us that Menas was a Christian who served under the tribune Firmilian while a soldier.
However, when the army came to Cotyaeus in Phrygia, Menas, on hearing of the edicts issued against the Christians by Emperors Diocletian and Maximian, deserted the army in order to escape death and hid in a mountain cave for five years, where in solitude he served God by fasting vigils and prayer.

 Lives of the Saints: March: 5. Sts. Adrian and Eubulus, Martyrs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
IN the seventh year of Diocletian's persecution, continued by Galerius Maximianus, when Firmilian, the most bloody governor of Palestine, had stained Cæsarea with the blood of many illustrious martyrs, Adrian and Eubulus came out of the country called Magantia to Cæsarea, in order to visit the holy confessors there.
The judge offered him his liberty if he would sacrifice to idols; but the Saint preferred a glorious death, and was the last that suffered in this persecution at Cæsarea, which had now continued twelve years, under three successive governors, Flavian, Urban, and Firmilian.
Divine vengeance pursuing the cruel Firmilian, he was that same year beheaded for his crimes, by the emperor's order, as his predecessor Urban had been two years before.

 Spiritual Gifts: Their Origin & Purpose
Other than diminishing somewhat during the middle ages (probably due to the inaccessibility to scripture by the common people), it is obvious that spiritual gifts were never completely absent from the church.
Near the close of the second century, Tertullian cited similar incidents, describing the operation of prophecies, healings and tongues, and in 210, Origen reported many healings and other charismatic gifts, as did later writers such as Eusebius, Firmilian, Chrysostom and others throughout many centuries.
The Encyclopedia Britannica says that spiritual gifts such as glossalalia (speaking in tongues) has occurred in Christian revivals of every age.
