Detailed explanation-1: -The Puritans were strict Calvinists, or followers of the reformer John Calvin. Calvin taught that God was all-powerful and completely sovereign. Human beings were depraved sinners. God had chosen a few people, “the elect, ” for salvation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Puritans believed that humans were naturally sinful beings–so sinful, in fact, that they had been born into sin. The Puritans believed in the religious theory of “predestination, ” which means that God has already predetermined, or chosen, who is saved from the beginning.
Detailed explanation-3: -Puritans believed in the idea of predestination, meaning that God has already chosen which people will get into heaven. People are predestined to either go to heaven or go to hell. It isn’t up to your choices on Earth or if you choose to accept God as your savior. It is only up to what decisions God has already made.
