@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.
