>> 200 years ago, In America, you couldn’t find a church that didn’t teach what is called “Calvinism” today unless you were catholic. <<

Don’t think you’re correct about that. After all, the most famous revivalist of the “Great Awakening” in early 19th century America, the Methodist preacher Lorenzo Dow, was an outspoken opponent of both Calvinism and Roman Catholicism.

You mean the “Second Great Awakening”, not The Great Awakening. Big difference. The first Great Awakening is associated with the preaching of Jonathen Edwards and George Whitefield. Men who preached nothing but the Cross and Jesus Christ crucified for our sins. The “Second Awakening” spawned cults, false teachers, Adventism, Mormonism, etc and focused on Moralism/Restorationism among other heresies.
