Hi,
I'm trying to writing something emphasizing the fact that just because someone is nice and/or moral does not necessarily mean that he is saved. And I wanted to use an example of a heretic in church history whose false teaching was difficult to refute because he was such a "nice" or moral guy. I thought I heard a sermon years ago claiming that Arius fit that description, but I couldn't find anything in my search. Do any of you know if that was true concerning Arius, or if there was some other past heretic who was like that (e.g., Eutychus, Nestorius, Pelagius, etc.)?
Thanks so much!
