Maybe he was only referring to the use of Aragon and Boromir's sword and how they could really not use their weapons to fight off the Balrog. But Gandalf could because he could use his powers through his sword or something. Also, maybe he didn't want Aragorn or Boromir to even try to fight the Balrog, or even think about trying to fight the Balrog because he knew they couldn't win, like what GreyIstar said.
