The council held in Carthage in AD 418 under the presidency of Aurelius, bishop of that city, was viewed by Augustine as the definitive response to Pelagius. Through the assertion of nine points it viewed as traditional to the Christian confession, it condemned Pelagius and effected his banishment from Latin Christian lands.

These nine points were:

1. Death came from sin, not man's physical nature.
2. Infants must be baptised to be cleansed from original sin.
3. Justifying grace covers past sins and helps avoid future sins.
4. The grace of Christ imparts strength and the will to act out God's commandments.
5. No good works can come without God's grace.
6. We confess we are sinners because it is true, not from humility.
7. The saints ask for forgiveness for their own sins.
8. The saints also confess to be sinners because they are.
9. Children dying without baptism are excluded from both the Kingdom of heaven and eternal life.

The decisions of this council, and specifically the contents of these points, proved highly controversial, especially as many of them were discordant with understandings in the Christian East.
