Calvinists believe in the doctrine of predestination, which states that God has predetermined who will be saved and who will be damned. This doctrine is based on the teachings of John Calvin, a 16th-century French theologian. Calvinists believe that God has already chosen who will be saved and who will be damned, and that this decision is based on His divine will and not on any action taken by the individual. This means that individuals have no control over their own salvation, and that it is ultimately up to God.
