Lutheranism, begun by Martin Luther (1483-1546), holds the view that salvation is open to everyone who seeks after it, and then holds faith with good works. Lutheranism also states that while God is a supreme authority, man holds some freedom and responsibility in his own life.
Calvinism, initiated by Jean Calvin (1509-1564), believes in predestination. This idea states tgat because God is omniscient, he already knows who will enter heaven. Therefore, there are already a chosen few who will obtain salvation, and they will be known through their good works, which is not the pinnacle of their salvation. Also because God is omniscient and omnipotent, he determines every action of our lives.
