Calvin was never born again. He held to some of the tenets of the Catholic faith, one being infant baptism. God showed me that Calvinism is wrong and I will never accept it.

“He held to some of the tenets of the Catholic faith, one being infant baptism”

So did John Wesley, btw. How do you know if a person was born again? Its disgraceful that armchair theologians can write off people simply because they disagree with some nonessential doctrine. Calvin and other reformers literally put their lives on the line to help spread the gospel going against the powers that be in their time.

The “Catholic faith” also teaches that Jesus was the eternal son of God, the savior of the world. Calvin taught that as well. Does that mean that everyone who holds anything in common with the “Catholic faith” cannot possibly be born again?

This is the catholic faith, which except a man believe faithfully he cannot be saved.”

I won’t go so far as to say he was never born again. I never judge a man’s eternal state, since that puts me in a postition that belongs to God alone.
