Once a man has been convinced of false doctrines such as Calvinism, Lutherism, Reformation, and other grave errors it is nearly impossible to convince them of the Biblical truth.
Christians need to stop placing their trust in dead men and unbiblical ideas brought by those dead men and begin to ask Christ for the truth.
We are to believe Christ and His Word, not manmade religion based on ideas added to the scriptures to make them sound Biblical.
Lutherism is a religion based on the teachings of Luther not on the Bible.
Catholicism is a religion based on the teachings of the Popes not on the Bible.
If you find yourself unable to mention a man when speaking of God then you have an idol in your heart.
Colossians 2:8
"See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ."
John 14:6
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
God never said Calvin is the way, Luther is the way or any other man was the way to salvation, It is only Christ, so quote Him and not the popular icons of our age who love to feel self-elevated by cozying up to someone famous. Pride is involved in this mess of man-made religion.
Micah 6:8
"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
2 Timothy 2:15
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."
Do not be impressed when someone "name-drops" a dead person to elevate themselves, simply say something like; "I follow Christ only."
