Apart from the general Protestant concept that knowledge of God can only be had by direct study of The Bible (as opposed to following the doctrines of the Catholic church) a main point in Calvin's teachings and books was 'predestination', the idea that every person even from birth is predestined - basically: already earmarked - to either go to Heaven or to Hell, regardless of whatever he does during his life.

AnswerJohn Calvin's teaching are usually summed up in the acronym TULIP:

Basically, Calvinism is known by an acronym: T.U.L.I.P. Total Depravity (also known as Total Inability and Original Sin)

Unconditional Election

Limited Atonement (also known as Particular Atonement)

Irresistible Grace

Perseverance of the Saints (also known as Once Saved Always Saved) These five categories do not comprise Calvinism in totality. They simply represent some of its main points.
