(the following is by Martin Luther)

"I desire above all things that my name should be
concealed, and that none be called by the name of
Lutheran; but of Christian.  What is Luther?  My
doctrine is not mine, but Christ's. I was not crucified
for any. How comes it to pass, that I, who am but
a filthy, stinking bag of worms; that any of the
sons of God should be denominated from my name?
Away with these schismatical names!  Let us be
denominated from Christ, from whom alone we
have our doctrine."
