Calvinism

"Calvinism has been criticized for putting a lack of emphasis on prayer and evangelism. In fact, because the Reformed faith emphasizes God's sovereignty by proclaiming that He has determined everything that will happen and who will be saved, some say Calvinism makes praying and evangelizing pointless.

This criticism is based on a misunderstanding. The truth is that Calvinism teaches that prayer and evangelism are crucial aspects of the Christian life, and that there are numerous good reasons to do both."
