they too shall belong to God, and so bring their lives into conformity with Jesus Christ. But make no mistkae, my brothers; the adherents of a heretic can never inherit the kingdom of God. Those who wander in outlandish by-ways of doctrine must forfeit all part in the Lord's Passion. Good, St Ignatius agrees with me. 'Outlandish by-ways of doctrine', sounds like a church body not relying on the Word of God as the final arbiter.
Actually, it describes the heretics outside orthodoxy. Lutherans hold to the episcopate, so they do follow to a large extent orthodoxy.
