Reformed theology was developed primarily by John Calvin the bishopof Geneva
Study into the life of Calvin will reveal that he regularily had men killed who did not share his theological views. his theology is basically refered to as TULIP in some theological cicles
T-Total depravity of sinners to the popint they cannot choose to belive the gospel and be saved.
U-Unconditional election-God chooses each individual to save the 'Elect" will be saved no matter what-no personal decision involved.
L- Limited atonement-Christ did not die for every man but only for the elect Note (This teaching is clearly refuted in 2 pet 3 :9 " God is NOT WILLING THAT ANY should perish but that all men should come to repentance" Hebrews says speaking of Christ " That he by the grace of God tasted death for EVERY MAN"
I-Irresistable Grace the "Elect" that God chose to save as individuals cannot resistt he call to salvation (No free will)
P-Perseverance of the saints-those who are saved are saved for ever and cannot lose it
Dispensational theology is typically attributed to a man named John Nelson Darby-he is accused of starting the system himself, but actually there ARE dispensations in The Bible - he basically was used to reveal the truth already in scripture along dispensational lines.
