calvin believed in predestination- the idea that a soul was destined from birth to go to heaven or hell

he also believed in a very strict moral code, evidenced by his tightly run community in Geneva in which everyone had to go to church every day, dancing, gambling, alcohol and other 'unholy' acts/icons were prohibited, and bed times were set by government
