I am pleased that you recognize that Calvin's view is a minority view even among Protestants.

As I've said, truth isn't determined by consensus or a democratic vote. Being in the majority doesn't make you right, even as we know that Christianity being a minority in countries in the Middle East doesn't make Christianity false and Islam true.

"Calvinism" is entirely based on scripture, so whether or not everyone agrees to it, it is a faithful representation of what the Bible teaches.

As a corollary of that fact, I would point out that most Protestants would opine that Calvin's view is indeed a "false view", and, in everybody's opinion, a "false view" is an unbiblical view.

I repeat: truth is not determined by a majority vote.

John Calvin was a learned scholar who lived from 1509 to 1564.

Jesus Christ established His Church and trained the first leaders of His Church in the year 33.

Calvin didn't invent "Calvinism"; his teachings clarified what the scriptures already taught. The 5 points of Calvinism, as they are known today, weren't even developed by Calvin, himself, but came about as response to the points of the remonstrance that piggy-backed off of what Jacob Arminius taught.
