Are you saved.?
Martin Luther.
“Not for a thousand years has God bestowed such great gifts on any bishop as He as on me” (E61, 422). “God has appointed me for the whole German land, and I boldly vouch and declare that when you obey me you are without a doubt obeying not me but Christ” (W15, 27). “Whoever obeys me not, despises not me but Christ.” “I believe that we are the last trump that sounds before Christ is coming”. “What I teach and write remains true even though the whole world should fall to pieces over it.” (W18, 401). “Whoever rejects my doctrine cannot be saved.” “Nobody should rise up against me

Jesus is the only name by which we are saved, Martin Luther may have had some good points and his heresy was a help to the Church of Rome by way of causing the counter Reformation, but he can not nor did he save anyone, that like I said before was a Job for Christ

Dr Martin did have mood swings,didn't he?
Luther taught that Jesus was the only savior,not Luther.
Luther also taught that he was an evangelical Catholic until his death.
Luther did not take disagreement well
One friend of his when asked why he did not leave the papal Communion and follow luther said"I prefer a Pope on the Tiber to one on the Tauber( a river near Saxony ,he meant Luther)
Read the Small Catechism on Confession and the Sacrament of the Altar(V and VI) to see how Catholic Luther is compared to Zwingli or Calvin or most of the other Reformers

martin luther was an idiot. hopefully he saw the error of his ways before he died physically and begged the Lord for His mercy. his writings you quote confirms he knew he was an idiot...this is exactly the attitude he has bestowed on the on gullible protestants. May the Lord have mercy on his soul despite the infestation of idiocy that permeates christianity owing in a large part to this particular disobedient ex-catholic priest.

To answer the question directly, NO. Martin Luther had many issues, like 96 of them. His train went off the tracks.

No, no, no.
My church has never had any history with Martin Luther. It is the Antiochian Orthodox Church. Where they were first called Christian. Bishops, monks, and priests...never put themselves in a position where they say...believe me or you won't be saved.
I don't agree with Martin Luther at all.

martin Luther was a German. Germans are prone to say things like this.
BTW Martin Luther cannot save anyone.

Context man! Luther was talking about the doctrine he found in scripture, so in saying "my doctrine" he wasn't talking about something he just made up (like papal infallibility), he was talking about the what the scripture teaches.

he never said that he you had to belive in him to be saved, he just said he is doing the work of god and that helping him is the same as helping Jesus or God.He is making a play on one of the scriptures.The scripture goes something like this.
Jesus said, he who does something for the least of my servent has done something for me. it carries on for a while but thats te drift of it
