Luther believed that as long as you had faith in the power of your baptism, you could do pretty much what you liked.
Calvin believed that people were predestined to be damned or saved.
If Protestants have shrugged off those two incubuses, it only shows their good sense.

Calvin believed that people were predestined to be damned or saved....If Protestants have shrugged off those two incubuses, it only shows their good sense. Er....so did Augustine...and Cyprian...
Now if you want to say that some of the greatest Church leaders didn't have good sense, well, then you have another problem.
