Martin Luther and John Calvin were pivotal to the English Puritans as their theological ideas laid the foundation for Puritan beliefs. Luther's emphasis on individual interpretation of Scripture and justification by faith influenced the Puritans' desire for a more personal and direct relationship with God. Calvin's teachings on predestination and church governance inspired the Puritans' quest for a reformed church that aligned with their understanding of biblical principles. Together, their reformist ideas motivated the Puritans to seek religious purity and autonomy in England and later in the New World.

Predestination.
Luther and Calvin disagreed on the concept of predestination. Luther believed in the idea of "justification by faith alone," while Calvin emphasized the doctrine of predestination, which asserts that God has already chosen who will be saved.

Probably Wycliffe, Hus or Calvin. In terms of long term impact I would probably say Calvin
Calvin broke away from Luther because Luther did not believe in 'once saved always saved'.All sins are forgiven, Yesterday, today and the future..
Martin Luther believed in a separation of church and state. Calvin believed that the church should be the state. Calvin felt that if man had free will, then God was not omnipotent. Martin Luther felt that man could have free will and that did not diminish God's power.
