Best Answer

In opposition to all The Bible verses that say otherwise, John Calvin did not believe in what Calvinists call a "works salvation". In other words, you don't need to do anything other than believe. Of course, he doesn't explain why Satan is not in heaven, as Satan certainly believed in God, along with all the other fallen angels.

How did Martin Luther's doctrine of faith alone differ from John Calvin's doctrine of predestination?

This is like comparing apples and oranges. Both Calvin and Luther vigorously proclaimed salvation by faith in Christ alone. The doctrine of predestination says that God has chosen the ones who have faith from the beginning of time, and emphasizes that faith and salvation comes from God alone. But again, salvation is by fiath alone, regardless of where it comes from.
