But even here, a word of caution is in order. Historically, it is something of a misnomer to call these doctrines "Calvinism." On these doctrines, there was no difference between Luther and Calvin. These two leading Reformers were in agreement in their teaching on the doctrines of predestination, the depravity of the fallen man and justification by faith alone. Indeed, almost without exception, all of the Reformers embraced what we now call "Calvinism." Besides, the "five points of Calvinism," as five particular doctrines that distinguish Calvinism, originated after Calvin's death.
Sa mga doktrinang ito, walang naging pagkakaiba sa pagitan nina Luther at Calvin. Ang dalawang nangungunang Reformer na ito ay nagkaisa sa kanilang katuruan tungkol sa doktrina ng double predestination o dobleng pagtatalaga, sa ganap na pagkamakasalanan ng tao, at sa pagpapawalang-sala sa pamamagitan ng pananamplataya lamang. Tunay nga, at halos walang liban, pinanghawakan ng lahat ng Reformers ang tinatawag nating"Calvinism" ngayon.
