Yes. It's pretty hard to change what Calvinists believe in, and it's even harder to change what John Calvin wrote. Read it yourself, and write a refutation if you care to.

What group believed in predestination?
Calvinists
Which group believed in predestination?
The Calvinists believed in the concept of predestination, which teaches that God has already determined who will be saved and who will be condemned, regardless of any actions taken by individuals. This belief is a central tenet of Calvinism, a Protestant Christian theological system developed by John Calvin in the 16th century.
What is the opposite of predestination?
This is not a simple question as there are various types of predestination. The direct opposite of Calvinistic predestination (the main theory) is Arminianism. The difference put simply is "Arminians believe that they owe their election to their faith, whereas Calvinists believe that they owe their faith to their election." However, as you can see Arminianism still requires election and so is still a form of predestination. The true opposite of the theory of election is simply free will. Each human being is given choice over his destination!

Did Henry VIII believe in predestination?
This is a vexed question. John Wesley did believe in predestination, just a difference kind of predestination than his Calvinist brethren. Wesley was Arminian in his doctrine. He had disagreements over the issue with his friend and fellow worker George Whitfield, who believed in the Calvinist form of predestination. Hard predestination (Whitfield's kind) understands God to be ultimately in charge of deciding whether each individual is "saved" or not. Soft predestination (Wesley's kind) recognizes that God knows who will be saved and who will not, but God does not decide that for each individual.
