Calvinists believed in predisposition; they believed that God chose, before you were born, whether or not you would go to heaven or hell and there was nothing you could do in your lifetime to change that. The reason they worked so hard in being religious was because they wanted to show others around them that they were chosen by God to go to heaven.
But this is NOT true, It says in The Bible that it is not God's will that anyone shall
perish, but that all should have enternal life. =D
