I believe that Lordship salvation is wrong for raising the entrance requirements for saving faith. The original Reformers did teach, however, that as a Christian matures in the faith, the evidence of the regeneration of the Holy Spirit should be evident in their personal conduct.
This change of life is not something we merit on our own, but instead is a gift of the Holy Spirit, as He transforms our innermost desires.
This is an extreme example, but I believe that John Calvin or Martin Luther, if given the opportunity, would have warned Adolf Hitler that he was headed for hell, no matter what profession of Christian faith he may have made at some point in his life.
