“Calvinism“ typically refers to those who subscribe to the “5 Points of Calvinism“ - Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, and Perseverance of the Saints. These doctrines were formulated at the Synod of Dort in 1618-19 to response to the “Remonstrants,” followers of Jacob Arminius. The term can be misleading, since Calvin was long dead by the time the Arminian controversy arose, and the Synod of Dort was largely composed of delegates of the Reformed churches founded by Ulrich Zwingli, not Calvin, who was a second generation Reformer.

∙ 14y agoNo. Calvinism refers to the set of doctrines taught by John Calvin, which can also be called Reformed. Most (almost all) Presbyterian churches are Reformed in their theology. However, there can also be non-denominational churches or Baptist churches that follow Reformed theology, i.e, that are Calvinist.
