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
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.
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.
The concept of predestination in Lutheranism refers to the belief that God has already chosen who will be saved and who will not. This belief influences how Lutherans understand salvation and their relationship with God. It emphasizes the idea that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned through good works.
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:
The concept of Lutheran predestination influences the beliefs and practices of the Lutheran faith by emphasizing the idea that God has already chosen who will be saved and who will not. This belief shapes how Lutherans view salvation, faith, and the role of good works in their religious practices.

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.
Calvin and Luther were both key figures in the Protestant Reformation, but they had some differences in their theological beliefs. One major difference is their views on predestination. Calvin believed in the concept of double predestination, where God has already chosen who will be saved and who will be damned, while Luther believed in single predestination, where God chooses who will be saved but does not actively choose who will be damned. Additionally, Calvin placed a greater emphasis on the sovereignty of God and the idea of total depravity, while Luther focused more on the idea of justification by faith alone.
