One group of Calvinists claimed that before humans sinned, God had decided that a chosen few were to be led to salvation through Christ, whereas all others were to be abandoned to their fate.
Üks kalvinistide rühm väitis, et enne inimeste pattulangemist oli Jumal otsustanud valida välja mõned, kes saavad Kristuse kaudu pääste, samas kõik ülejäänud pidid sellest ilma jääma.
