We see the words "Predestinate" in the Bible, Romans 8:29-30. Ephesians 1:5, Ephesians 1:11. But it does not say who was predestinated. All that is says is "us" or "We". Who is the "us" and the "we?" Along comes John Calvin and says the "Us" and the "We" are people that believe in his doctrine of "Calvinism". So, we are led to believe that John Calvin is some sort of a prophet with a new doctrine.
There is nothing in the Old Testament about anyone being predestinated to heaven or to hell. As a matter of fact the word "Predestinate" only appears in the New Testament four times. Mr. Calvin apparently believed that is enough to launch his newfound doctrine. Words like "Faith and "Believe" count for nothing. All that matters is predestination. Throughout the Bible we are warned of men that would pervert the truth of the Gospel.
Paul, who was a chosen apostle of Jesus Christ, said, "But though we or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached, let him be accursed" Galatians 1:8. There is nothing in John Calvins doctrine about Christ and his Gospel, the whole emphasis is about being predestinated, which has nothing to do with the Gospel and appears to be a false Gospel.
