Calvinism

The Edict of Nantes, issued in 1598 by King Henry IV of France, granted Huguenots (French Protestants) religious toleration and significant civil rights. It aimed to promote peace and coexistence between Catholics and Protestants after decades of religious conflict. The edict allowed Huguenots to practice their faith freely and established fortified towns for their protection. However, it was revoked in 1685 by King Louis XIV, leading to renewed persecution and the mass exodus of Huguenots from France.

There is no historical record of John Calvin's exact weight. However, descriptions from his contemporaries suggest he had a frail constitution, which may indicate he was not particularly heavy. Most of the focus on Calvin's life revolves around his theological contributions rather than personal details like weight.

Huguenots were French Protestants influenced by the teachings of John Calvin, emphasizing the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, and salvation by grace through faith. They believed in a personal relationship with God, the importance of individual conscience, and the necessity of living a life that reflects Christian values. Huguenots rejected certain Catholic practices and doctrines, advocating for reform within the Church and the right to worship freely. Their beliefs were foundational in the development of Protestantism in France and influenced wider religious and cultural movements.

The same as it does for non-Calvinists. Calvinism is not a religion, it is a theology within Christianity that is embraced by many different denominations.

Baptism for a Calvinist is a public declaration and a symbol, of repentance (dying to one's sinful flesh) and being born again to a new life in Christ Jesus.

Geneva, Switzerland

He was61 years old when he died.

John Calvin believed in man kind's depravity and sinfulness. He was a protestant reformer and his beliefs are the foundation of Calvinism.

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

No.

John Calvin preached that salvation was given by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. That no man is saved through anything which is within himself or another person but only through the work of Jesus as He died as an atoning sacrifice for the sins of all who would believe.

At the time of the Protestant Reformation, there were many different leaders and ideas which could be followed; Zwingli and Calvin in Switzerland, Knox in Scotland, Luther in Germany, Cranmer in Britain, and many others. Most of these men had very similar views about salvation and their opposition to the abuses in the Roman Catholic Church, but they also had significant differences too.

Rather than a Christian denomination or sect, Calvinism is a system of thought regarding Christian beliefs (theology).

There were many contributing factors which drew Protestants to the views of John Calvin, but one of the most influential was Calvin's prolific writing. In 1536 he published what many consider his most famous work, Institutes of the Christian Religion, a book still popularly read and studied today. He wrote more than 1,300 letters still in existence, and published sermons and comments on most of the books of the Bible.

There was one major difference between John Calvin and Martin Luther. John Calvin thought that God has predetermined who was going to heaven, and who was going to hell, BEFORE the person was born. Luther thought that you achieved salvation from faith alone.

Hope this helped ;D

He moved to ganeva so set up a leadership church

By the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ. He taught that God chooses to save individuals, man cannot choose God because they are spiritual dead.

No.

calvinism

John Calvin was a preacher who stated that some people were predestined for salvation. He broke Switzerland off into their own little reformed thing instead of agreeing with the thoughts and customs of the Roman Catholic Church.
