Wow, 'believe' and 'could be' in the same sentence establishing a causal link, strong evidence. The 'name' referred to there is 'Christian'. LUTHERans got the name from Catholics a a pejorative, Luther preferred Christian.
But Lutherans preferred to be called Evangelicals.
When one is dealing with the Book of Revelation he needs to make allowance for those in the Reformed faith who discount a literal return for Christ, those who pretty much discount the book entirely — such as the liberals in Reformed theology.
“Some” is not meant to introduce “evidence” but a theory only. As you may know, there is a large contingent of dispensational believers who view the Seven Letters as a panorama of Church history.
No one minimizes the name Lutheran; in fact, it’s a great name describing a great saint. Most LUTHERans today simply retain the name in a spiritually dead environment.
