People That Leave the Reformed Faith

Luther wrote this many moons ago,
"If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at the moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved to be steady… (It) is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point (of attack)."
We see people leaving Reformed churches for a more "historic" church.  They have abandoned Jesus Christ and have left with the world.  It is those of Orthodoxy and Romanism that have shipwrecked their faith by outward testimony.  They add things to the simplicity of the gospel of God and there commonality is exalting Mary's intercession in their behalf from the anger of Jesus Christ.  Jesus clearly proclaimed that He would cast none out that come to Him.  We see that man's sinful nature of adding to the God-breathed Scriptures makes everything wrong.  God help them.
