Martin Luther believed that faith alone was the only thing could get you to heaven and that a lot of people SAYING "I believe" really can get you into heaven. Though that is why he protested against the Catholic church because that is exactly what the Popes taught and then they would go and do pleasures that were against God.

∙ 10y agoMartin Luther came to the realization that salvation is a gift of God. Man can do nothing to earn salvation.
Salvation is not earned by works because The Bible clearly says that man is helpless to save himself.
Man is dead in his trespass and sins - Ephesians 2:1
Any righteous thing a man does is like a filthy rag to God - Isaiah 64:6.
Salvation is a gracious gift from God to undeserving mankind - Ephesians 2:8
Salvation cannot be by grace and works because grace and works are mutually exclusive.
