You mean their conversion from one false religion to false teachers in Christendom who "privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."?

And this the sorry consequence of putting this men on the pedestal:

"And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the truth shall be evil spoken of.

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgement now for a long time slumbereth not."
2Peter 2:1-3.
