@latein @adachi @tyler @dcc @charlie_root Luther wasn’t consistent throughout his life, his opinions on these things changed as he translated the Bible from scratch, though even at the best of times, everyone agrees that he held to many of the Papist innovations he came up with.
It was the generations after him, particularly Martin Chemnitz and John Calvin, that fleshed out a lot of his ideas.

@adachi @tyler @dcc @charlie_root @opphunter88 I don't care what Luther has to say (in his 95 theses he also claimed the pope has power over purgatory, I don't believe popes nor purgatory even exist). Whether it is taught in Scripture determines truth, not a magistrate be it Catholic or Protestant.
You can claim to be saved and changed before men, and goats these days would readily believe any profession, but:
A) God knows if you're genuine or not.
B) John the Baptist, Christ and Paul all preached a repentance that bears fruit and is visible to men, which can be judged accordingly.
