In my personal opinion and from decades of observation, it appears to be evident that those in ministry who teach Calvin’s doctrines were subverted by those who taught them before they ever personally learned God’s Word themselves. They were taught this lie growing up and/or in the seminaries they attended before they had studied unto the LORD and gained a foundation in His Word (2 Tim. 2:15; 3:16-17). Like most false doctrines, Calvinistic teachings have an inoculating effect upon those who have been deceived by this teaching.
Beholding John Calvin’s abominable heresies should come as no surprise to the Bible student who has studied Calvin’s personal life. By many documented facts surrounding his life, John Calvin was a very arrogant man who reigned as a king over the city of Geneva Switzerland and did not honor God’s Word. His English Geneva Bible, created between (1560-1611) featured extensive commentary notes in the margins which clearly disregarded and superseded the very Scriptures, instead of simply rendering a literal explanation of the Bible text. Calvin’s notes were full of his own twisted philosophies about God. The Scriptures warn specifically about this evil and the deceivers who propagate such (Col. 2:4, 8; 18-19; Jude 3-4; Rev. 22:18-19). Also incriminating upon Calvin and his Bible, was that his brother-in-law, William Whittingham, assisted in the translation of John Calvin’s Geneva Bible and is said to have possessed a theological bias which caused him to make changes in the text.
There was a reason that Calvin invented his own Bible. Those who read John Calvin’s Institutes (his own distorted religious commentaries) could not reconcile his teachings with Holy Scripture, so Calvin cleverly created his own English Bible translation with notes in the margin in order to be able to twist and manipulate the clear and literal meaning of the Word of God. In this evil endeavor, Calvin fits the description of those false prophets who “deceive the hearts of the simple” with their “good words and fair speeches.” (Rom. 16:17-18) According to the Holy Spirit, men like John Calvin and those who teach his heresies today are to be marked as false teachers.
Mind if we review the passage this chapter began with?
“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly (selfish desires); and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18
The historical information being discussed here played out in the 16th and 17th centuries and has had an enormous impact on what we know as the church today. Of this historical sketch and scenario, which was the formation of the cult of Calvin prevalent in today’s church world, Kent R. Rieske writes:
“The Geneva Bible and the doctrines of John Calvin spread across Europe as church leaders used the margin notes as the basis of their lectures and preaching. King James I (1566-1625) was opposed to Calvinistic Presbyterianism and some claim he was infuriated by the Geneva Bible because the marginal notes allowed disobedience to the King. This claim can be largely dismissed because Calvin ruled as ‘King’ of Geneva and allowed absolutely no disobedience. King James was requested by Dr. John Reynolds of the Puritans in the famous Hampton Court Conference to authorize the printing of a new Bible without the marginal notes. King James agreed. He authorized work to begin on the new Bible in 1604 with a team of fifty-four theologians and scholars, and it was printed in 1611. The Bible was to be a new translation from the Greek. The King James Version of the Bible was prepared from the Textus Receptus as well as many of the other 5,000 Greek manuscripts. It is known as the 1611 Authorized King James Version and held by many as the only ‘Inspired Word of God.’” Calvinism: False Doctrines of the “Pope” of Geneva, by Kent R. Rieske and Bible Life Ministries.
Among other items in the life of Calvin, it should be noted that John Calvin had Michael Servitus murdered because Servitus did not agree with Calvin’s heresies and vigorously opposed them.
John Calvin’s modern-day disciples are false teachers. To propagate the very original lie of the enemy of the Almighty is to identify ones self as one of Satan’s “ministers” and be placed in the category of a wolf in sheep’s clothing (Matt. 7:15-20; 2 Cor. 11:13-15). It doesn’t matter how sincere or charismatic or educated a leader may seem. It doesn’t even matter whether or not a leader realizes that he is teaching what Calvin taught. Any person teaching that there is no possible way to lose salvation after truly receiving it, is in defiance of the Counsel of God, a “heretic” and to be rejected (if he refuses to repent after being confronted with the Word) as such according to Titus 3:10-11. These men who teach Calvin’s heresies are teaching doctrines which are clearly contrary to the Word and “deceiving the hearts of the simple.” (Rom. 16:17-18) The truth is to be earnestly contended for, specifically when this lie of lasciviousness is being taught (Jude 3-4).
“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 10-11
Helping a false teacher is a serious offense against a holy God. Grave consequences are attached. Those who do anything to further the ministries of false prophets or false teachers become equally guilty before the LORD (Judges 5:23; 2 Chron. 19:2; Prov. 17:15; 24:24; Isa. 5:20-24, etc.). Helping the cause of a wolf is a deadly undertaking. Any person who does such makes himself the enemy of God (Matt. 12:30). The LORD clearly showed us in His Word that He will have no mercy upon false prophets if they choose not to repent before it is too late (Jer. 48:10; Acts 1:25; 2 Pet. 2-3; Jude; Rev. 18:4, etc.). Those who in any way help deceivers bring harm to Christ’s body are accessories to the fact and will suffer the same judgment as the wolf himself. – “For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” (2 Jn. 11)
Below are resources for further study into the life of one of the most (if not the most) prolific false teachers in New Testament church history, whose evil doctrines against the LORD are still being spread by modern day deceivers. (Please know that we cannot validate or endorse the entire scope of what these ministries may be teaching, yet thought it profitable to include their resources concerning Calvinism. As usual, we should always be discerning like the Bereans – Acts 17:11.)
Beware that people like Paul Washer, John MacArthur, Arthur Pink, and Charles Spurgeon are calvinists. Though they may have some good quotes, their doctrinal pond is poisonous.

***John Calvin’s Reign of Terror:
• He had Servetus burned at the stake on October 27, 1553,
• Gentile beheaded in 1566,
• 34 women burned at the stake after accusing them of being witches who caused a plague that had swept through Geneva in 1545,
• “Freckles” Dunant dies under torture in February 1545 without admitting to the crime of spreading the plague,
• Several men and women are apprehended including a barber and a hospital supervisor who had “made a pact with the devil.” in 1545,
• 2 women executed by burning at the stake for sorcery by spreading the plague in March 7, 1545,
• Belot (an Anabaptist) chained and tortured – against infant baptism in 1545,
• 7 men executed concerning the plague outbreak in May 16, 1545,
• a child was whipped publicly for calling his mother a thief,
• a girl who struck her parents was beheaded,
• Jacques Gruet accused of writing a poster against Calvin, was arrested, tortured then executed in July 1546,
• and the list goes on, his victims ranging in age from 16-80.
If John Calvin was Elect, then so was Hitler! 58 murders is as good as 6 million.
If you are following the teachings of calvinism, you are following a dead, murderous heretic who was a mere sinful man. John Calvin followed the false teachings of a deranged, pagan catholic (Augustine). You are not following Christ whatsoever if you are a calvinist. You cannot follow Christ outside of believing and obeying “the doctrine of Christ” given in the Holy Scriptures (2 John 7-10).
Calvinism is a very mind twisting, diabolical system. Calvinism is the most twisted and diabolical of all mythological systems of theology Satan has ever introduced into the minds of men. Calvinism is a system of cancerous myths and lies that are in diametric contradiction to the doctrines of Holy Scripture.
“Calvinism……who needs it. Sproul, Piper, Conway, MacArthur all spew this doctrine of death and hopelessness. They are so enthralled with this doctrine because of it’s philosophical complexity they think it must be of God. The deeper they go the more it (their theology) becomes their master. They are nothing more than slaves to a system of thought.” Preston Nesselrotte

Your communications and ministry are fed and fueled by your personal daily study and knowledge of God’s Word (Proverbs 22:17-21; 2 Timothy 2:15).
Ephesians 4:1-14
“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting (equipping, maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” Ephesians 4:1-14

God Himself personally sends a “strong delusion” to all who do not love His truth so that they WILL believe lies. He greases their pole to hell. That’s how personally He takes it when people call Him a liar by not believing His Word.
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8

Jose was given a stack of JESUS tracts after he said he wanted to evangelize.
Brother Juan passes by where Jose works for work daily and so that connection and fellowship is being put in place.
A FEW DAYS AGO: Sister Maria called for more JESUS tracts. She ran out as she is distributing hundreds per day. So our dear sister, thanks to you who are praying and supply…. was given a new jacket to keep her warm (pictured), food and drink to bring home for her living quarters, a fresh supply of JESUS tracts, some cash (Mexican pesos), and some Scripture that she as usual read out loud and devoured as I brought them up on my cell phone from the Spanish Bible (Reina Valera). God is good saints. May He be glorified in all you are doing to see the beloved people of Mexico reached with His bless-ed Gospel! You are refreshing His beloved saints.
LORD willing, I will be meeting again with our dear brother Juan this week to refresh him in fellowship etc.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27
Mexico: The Land where the Gospel of Jesus is Freely Received
“Freely ye have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8
As we truly follow Jesus He makes us fishers of men.
“And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” Mark 1:17
This was the sweetest couple ever as you can tell by the picture. They were overjoyed to receive the preaching of our LORD’s Gospel and were told how to be saved – repentance and faith in Christ, and showed the prayer on the back, etc. They were directed to the prayer on the back and exhorted to pray in repentance and faith and receive eternal life. When asked they said they’d welcome your prayers for them.
On the streets today in Mexico ministering our LORD Jesus’ Gospel to many. As usual the name of Jesus was preached in Christ’s love and it was readily, eagerly received by most who thanked us for giving them the Gospel. SMH. It’s no even fair!
A man name Jose was ministered to, received the Word, and prayed in repentance and faith to be saved! Would you like to lift our new brother in Christ in prayer? Jose Patron is his name and we are connected and he’s already been given more Scripture and added to the Spanish WA group.
Jose just sent me a voice recording saying Thank you to Mark and I for ministering Jesus’ Gospel to him and that he wants to do the same thing we are doing, minister to others our LORD’s Gospel.
Here’s a clip of brother Mark ministering.
“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20
“The food looks healthy. Just this morning I was thinking that it is unfathomable, in my mind, to comprehend what the Lord is doing in Mexico. I watched the video of Mark passing out Jesus tracts and everyone was so receptive. That stuck in my mind, because I recently watched a video of a man preaching the gospel on a train. Zero response! Everyone kept looking at their phones and never once looked up. This is the true state of America. We have need of nothing and especially not Jesus. Rev 3:17. As opposed to the precious people of Mexico who know they are poor in spirit and are in need of the Lord to save them. They know something is missing in their lives. When Mark was passing out those Jesus tracts people were very happy and joyful to receive them, here they are rejecting the Savior.” Karen Cochran
We went to a colonia, to a street where no one was outside at the moment, Brother Mark said “God sent us this way for a reason, for someone.” 30 seconds later we came upon Jose! Boom.
Then came the Gospel explosion!
Upon ministering Christ’s Gospel to him, Jose Patron excitedly shared with brother Mark and I about how God had saved him from dying. He simply needed the opportunity to repent and be saved – and that’s exactly what JESUS did. Thank you for lifting our beloved brother Jose in prayer.

“I love this brother! May God continue to provide and increase his fruit in the lives of the disciples in Mexico, in the Philippines, in Pakistan, in Kenya, in all his earth for his glory! Amen.
I was reading Psalm 8 and John 10. Beautiful beyond understanding is God’s love poured out in Christ Jesus toward us who hear his voice!
Much love to the body of Christ in Mexico and throughout the whole world. Jesus is coming!
Love brother Jon.”
“EVERY person you meet, or stand next to in line, is an opportunity to share the Good News. Do not miss the opportunity to bring another into the Kingdom.

Upon having the Gospel of Jesus preached to her, beloved Laura informed me that she is a born again saint!!! After fellowshipping she took a stash of JESUS tracts. Would you like to pray for sister Laura?
Man reading a JESUS tract.
Your prayers coveted for the people of Mexico to be saved (Ps 2:8).
After receiving the ministry of God’s Word, Antonio was asked if he wanted you to lift him in prayer. He eagerly accepted and is glad you will pause to lift his life to the LORD in prayer. | Mexico Mission
ON THE TOPIC OF MEXICO
The Mexican people never handed their country over to the government so that the government can take it away the government cannot take it away because
Historically and presently the Mexican people find a way to circumvent the government. They never let the government have control and therefore the government can’t take their freedom away – because the people recognize their freedom coming from God.
The tax money of the people is a large way that the government controls the people they are empowered by the riches of the people through taxes in order to control and exploit them endlessly. Your tax money fuels your slavery….
Mexican people have a very healthy dis-trust for government. This is unlike many Americans. Many Americans it seems, haven’t learned that the promises candidates make before an election, will nearly never carry them out when elected. It seems the “We’re going to release the epstein files” was a mere ruse to cover those secret files. “It’s all a big club, and you’re not in it.” George Carlin
Thank you for praying for this man, Juan. He received ministry today and is in need of being saved.
