Its called Calvinism......... That's wrong it was actually the 95 theses
Pre destination.
John Calvin but I don't think he was French. He believed in predestination, the idea that God had chosen who would be saved and who would be condemned
The Puritan doctrine of predestination is the belief that God has already determined who will be saved and who will be damned, regardless of their actions or beliefs. This belief is based on the idea of God's sovereignty and the concept of the elect, who are chosen by God for salvation. Puritans saw themselves as part of this elect group and believed that living a godly life was a sign of being chosen by God.
It is not in the Bible as such but part of Protestant theology. The general idea is that those who are to be saved are already pre-chosen. The "normal" way to "identify" if someone is pre-chosen is to examine what works or good deeds they do. These good deeds are the reason why God, in his infinite wisdom, would have chosen that person for entry. This is called a Covenant of Grace. Of course, not everyone who does good deeds is necessarily one of the pre-chosen because of some other defect or future misdeed that is to be counted. These people, who in life appear as good as the pre-chosen are actually not chosen. This is called a Covenant of Works. See link below:

i have no flippin idea
john calvin's beliefs were that people were sinful by nature and that people cannot earn salvation by any means. he also believed that god had chosen beforehand the people who will be eternally saved.
Yes! John Calvin was an ardent defender of a high view of God's sovereignty. By implication, he had a high view of predestination. By this view, God decides (i.e., foreordains) who will be saved (i.e., who will go to Heaven) and who will not be saved (i.e., who will go to Hell). It is implied that both Heaven and Hell were ultimate realities in the mind of John Calvin.
The Puritans believed in predestination, the idea that God has already determined who will be saved and who will be damned. They also believed in living a pure and moral life according to strict religious principles. Additionally, the Puritans placed a strong emphasis on individual piety and hard work as a sign of God's favor.

The Puritans believed in predestination, which is the idea that God has already determined who will be saved and who will be damned. They also believed in the importance of living a moral and pious life according to strict religious standards.
Calvin's theory of double predestination asserted that the elect had always been chosen by god, so he knew form the beginning of time who were going to be saved and who was going to be condemned, his belief in 'signs to the elect' meant that, if you lived a good life, it was a sign that you were in the elect but could not guarantee you a place.
