Detailed explanation-1: -Calvin, like Luther posits the view that salvation is by God alone. Since God determines everything he determines salvation. Man’s position in determining his salvation is manifestly nil. In a profound sense, Calvin’s view of salvation grows out of his view of human nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Protestant reformers Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin were active in the Swiss cities of Zurich and Geneva in the 1500s. They both called for the reform of church doctrines and practices, and advocated the elimination of many elements of the Catholic faith and worship.
Detailed explanation-3: -The greatest leaders of the Reformation undoubtedly were Martin Luther and John Calvin. Martin Luther precipitated the Reformation with his critiques of both the practices and the theology of the Roman Catholic Church.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Protestant Reformation that began with Martin Luther in 1517 played a key role in the development of the North American colonies and the eventual United States.
Detailed explanation-5: -However much Calvin may have wanted to do so, 6 he never met Luther personally. Geographically and politically, they lived in completely different worlds. More importantly, Calvin was a man of the second generation, born 26 years later than Luther.
Detailed explanation-6: -Calvinists differ from Lutherans (another major branch of the Reformation) on the spiritual real presence of Christ in the Lord’s Supper, theories of worship, the purpose and meaning of baptism, and the use of God’s law for believers, among other points.
