Some quotes from Martin Luther on his refusal to accept the authority of General Councils:

"Now this Gospel here overthrows the very foundation of popery and of all councils, for we are not bound to keep what the Pope commands and men decree. Therefore I say again, firmly grasp what this Gospel teaches, for the authority has never been given either to the Pope or councils, or anyone else, to sit and determine what is faith."

"Consequently do not allow yourselves to be persuaded that you must believe what the Pope says or the councils decree"
