That's like referencing HuffPo when discussing conservatives.

How so when the link quotes Luther himself?

This is what I was looking for. You referenced John 5:24 in terms of “believing” and Romans 10:9. Funny thing is, the words are two different words in the Greek but translate to the same word in English; therefore they get conflated into one meaning.
The term ‘believe’ in John is to ‘commit’ one’s life to precepts of Christ
The term ‘believe’ in Romans is to ‘acknowledge’ that something happened.
Most folks look at the words the same and apply the generic definition of ‘believe’, which is to ‘acknowledge’; therefore consider themselves Christians by simply acknowledging that Christ exists, without actually committing to the life-changes that come with being saved. I’ve been to far too many churches that don’t bother with these word studies.
What?....I have a copy of the CD..you want to borrow it? He prattles on for hours....

New International Version
"Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
http://biblehub.com/matthew/10-32.htm
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
You're trying to say that if man isn't sanctified then he can't come but God sees things not as though they were. In other words, he quickeneth the dead. What can dead people do? Nothing. But then He (God) called them. How can they answer if they are dead? He quickens them which means that God is in charge of sanctification and it isn't your work to do in order to get saved because God saves them and then changes them at God's speed and God is very patient and longsuffering.
King James Bible
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
http://biblehub.com/romans/4-17.htm
So the beauty of it is that even people who are wrecks can come to Jesus and He will save them.

You are still quite full of yourself.
Why do ask a question and tell the recipient, before answering they cannot answer to your satisfaction?
Catholics who "wanted to use your knowledge". I think not.
No one will ever give you a good answer, because you don't listen to anyone. You know iit all. You just repeat your psycho-babble and tell everyone how great you are.
Catholics wanting to use your knowledge, that was your best post yet.......not.
pffft. Zombies, man..they become zombies. The living dead. Do you own lots of firearms?. It's your only hope.

Because a bishop in my area emailed me, asked me to provide the arguments and I realized he was really using me to provide material so his parish could develop a training program against Christians. So if one of your bishops couldn't or wouldn't answer my question then what hope do I have at having it answered?
The rest of your response is an ad-hominem.

Have you ever actually read any of Luther's books?
Bullship.
No..but I've listened to his tapes.
Bearing false witness is also a sin......you need to STFU before your damned

That's why I said we were to study the Scriptures for ourselves, in prayer, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
I guess the important part here is to teach the new Christians about prayer and guidance of the Holy Spirit, if we're to avoid the problem Luther brought up.

A Roman Catholic Bishop? I won't ask you to post the email but what was this Bishops name? Or is he one of those covert CIA Bishops trained to wipe out Christians?
