I think Martin Luther was declared a heretic not Martin Luther King.Martin Luther King, the American civil rights leader, was never declared a heretic by the Catholic Church.His namesake, Martin Luther, a 15th century Catholic monk, was however declared a heretic for teaching ideas and holding positions the Catholic Church understood to be false and a danger to the Faith as taught by the Church.

The concept of the Holy Trinity came to the fore during the third century, with no actual biblical support*. Late in the century, Arius started a movement known as Arianism, opposed to belief in the Trinity. Arianism was opposed at the Council of Nicaea, but support continued strongly and it subsequently received support from several of the Christian emperors and came close to succeeding over 'Trinitarianism'. Had it done so, it would be Trinitarianism that would now be regarded as a heresy, not the opposite. At the end of the fourth century, Emperor Theodosius came down on the side of Trinitarianism and declared it illegal not to believe in the Trinity. Thus, the success of the teaching of the Holy Trinity came from a political decision, and it would be rational to believe that Theodosius was wrong or ill-advised. Footnote A passage known as the 'Johannine Comma' (1 John 5:7) does refer indirectly to the concept of the Trinity, but was never in the early Greek manuscripts, only appearing in the Latin translation of the fifth century, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea.

AnswerNothing much is likely to happen to people who deny the Trinity. The Trinity was never mentioned in the Bible, apart from a brief mention in 1 John, where it first appeared in a Latin translation in the fifth century. The doctrine of the Holy Trinity became important in the fourth century, when one branch of Christianity developed and defended it, while another, the Arians, opposed the doctrine. Had the Arians won that contest, the doctrine of the holy Trinity, as we know it, would not exist today.
