Calvin is often remembered in conjuction with the trial and execution of [[Michael Servetus]], who was condemned by both many Reformers and the Roman Catholic church for committing [[heresy]] by denying the [[Trinity]]. Servetus was burned at the stake, despite Calvin's recomendation that Servetus ought rather to be beheaded, a form of execution considered in that day to be more honorable.

Calvin's theology influenced many different Reformational groups, particularly the [[Presbyterian]]s in Scotland, the [[Congregationalist]]s and [[Baptist]]s England and the [[Dutch Reformed Church]] in [[Netherlands]]. The [[Westminster Confession]], the [[London Baptist Confession]] and the [[Belgic Confession]] are three statements of belief created by these groups and affirm a Calvinistic interpretation of theology.

Calvin's theology, known as "Calvinism," later became twisted by into the ''Hyper-Calvinism'' by some. Hyper-Calvinists over-emphasize [[predestination]], the doctrine that God chooses who will put their [[faith]] in Him, to the point where they abandoned preaching the [[Gospel]].  This position has been renounced by most Christian groups, including all major Reformed denominations and groups, who affirm the preaching of the Gospel to the unregenerate as one of the commands given to the Church by Christ himself.{{fact}}
