Calvinism is not a faith, it is a theology in salvation.
Calvinism teaches that salvation is by grace through faith, other theologies teach that salvation is earned also through good works.
The main difference is that Deism is a religion of a passive god that created the universe but no longer participates in it nor has any interest in what happens in it or to the creatures living in it, while Calvinism (and all Christianity for that matter) is a religion of an active god that not only created the universe but continues to actively participate in it and is deeply concerned for the welfare of the creatures living in it both loving them and hoping they will live him too.
There are of course additional differences, but this one alone places them in totally separate categories.
Calvinists believed that God had already chosen the saved; Arminians believed that people could choose to accept being saved.
Calvinists believe in predestination while the Lutherans did not. Thus, Lutherans were a much happier bunch
From the question as stated, NO, as Lutherans and Calvinist are Christian.
They do not differ much. They are very similar to Lutherans, which is extremely similar to Catholicism. Episcopal churches have Deacons and bishops as well as the Pastor, of course. Most episcopal churches are both Catholic and Protestant.
The issue of predestination was the major issue especially between calvinists and Lutherans.
Calvinists were very different than Lutherans in many ways, despite their similar stories of breaking away from the Catholic church. Firstly, Lutherans did not and do not believe in predestination, the idea that every person has already been destined to go to heaven or to hell when they die. Calvinists believed that people's fates have already been set.Secondly, the Calvinists believed that the bread and wine of the Sacrament of Holy Communion was a representation of Jesus' body and blood, whereas Lutherans believed that the body and blood was actually there, not in a literal way, but a very spiritual one. This was a huge point of contention between the two that ultimately stopped them from joining into one branch.Thirdly, most Calvinists believed that joy in this life was merely a distraction from the heavenly afterlife, and that frivolity should be avoided at all costs. Luther, meanwhile, taught that men should enjoy life as a gift.
They disapproved of their beliefs.
No.
Yes, Calvinists did face opposition from Catholics in Germany during the 16th and 17th centuries. This period saw religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, and tensions were particularly high between Calvinists and Catholics. The Peace of Augsburg in 1555 granted some religious freedom to Lutherans, but Calvinists were still persecuted and faced restrictions in Catholic areas.
they don't necessarily have any specific beliefs as what to eat and not to eat.
describe how people's value and beliefs may differ
No, Calvinists are not Catholic, they are Protestant Calvinists.
Most of the conflict was between Catholics and Protestants (primarily Lutherans and Calvinists), but there was also discrimination and pogroms against Jews who were defenseless.
There are many beliefs which are not consistent with the Lutheran Church, such as jihad or meditation as prescribed by Buddha. However, within the Christian school of thought, there are several. Free Will, for instance, is not upheld by Lutherans; nor is the millennial reign of Christ. predestination determines the ultimate fate of a person
