......will they be taken to heaven? Will Martin Luther come to rescue them by quoting his theory?

No, Martin Luther will not come and save these poor souls. John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of God.
The problem with these people that proclaim to be "born again" is that they are talking about a one time emotional experience, saying the "sinners prayer" and then being once saved always saved.
John 6:53-59
53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed,[a] and My blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
59 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.
This is another thing all together that Protestants can not seem to grasp. If you are not taking the Holy Eucharist you do not have life in you. To receive everlasting life with Christ, we must partake in the Eucharist.
Now, what will happen to these people at judgement? I do not know. I do know what Christ's words are in the Holy Scripures and that leaves no room for personal interpretation. I do pray these people unite with the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, but I also know few people are going to go through the narrow gate. Peace be with you

I don't think it would really make much of a difference to be perfectly honest about it. I don't believe in Judgment Day, and I also believe that everyone goes to heaven eventually.
There will be no rescuing required. It would be a personal thing with God and the individual, and no one would need anybody to speak on their behalf or plead with God about anything. Just my view on it.

By then it'll be too late. That's like telling the judge you're sorry you ran through the stop sign. You'll still pay the penalty.
But you can repent right now. And BTW, the literal meaning of repent is to change ones mind (about how you see Jesus and this whole salvation thing. It's just not healthy to wait too long.

Martin Luther will not be our advocate. Yahoshua will. To be born again of the Spirit is to accept the marriage covenant of YHVH, which is the basis of the first five books of the "Bible". If you have accepted the covenant, taken the name of the Almighty YHVH, and are in Harmony with Him, and keeping His Laws, Statutes, and Judgments (like Abraham did) Then you have passed from death to life, and will rise with the righteous in the first resurrection.

Actually there are 2 judgments- one for those who did not accept Christ, and they will have eternal separation from God in hell- and then another- for those who have accepted Christ and will be instantly in heaven- what will believers be judged for? For what they did while on earth to further God's Kingdom and they/we will be rewarded accordingly- if a true born again believer- the you cannot lose your salvation but you will get more/less rewards according to the works you did after salvation.

Some born agains just like some nonborn again Christians will be told "Not all who call me Lord will be saved" as they are cast into the lake of fire.

I believe that our heaven and hell is right here on this earth! Martin Luther couldn't even save himself.

yes, if they are telling the truth. but i think that you can't "accept" the Lord, if it's ALREADY judgment day!
CHRISTIANS and people of OTHER beliefs WILL be judged. just because you are judged by God does not mean that you aren't going to heaven,
EVERYONE is judged before they go to heaven or hell.

At the time of judgment it will be too late to accept the gift of Salvation. Praise the LORD.

Words are just Words...Actions speak louder than words and you have to show your faithfulness and acceptence of Jesus Christ through your choices and following of His Word. To accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour is just the first step to living a righteous life just for Him.
