#Calvinism gets a lot of bad press.
When I finally read Calvin's _Institutes of the Christian Religion_ for myself, I was pleasantly surprised at how accessible, warm, and pastoral--even devotional--it was.
Have you heard bad things about Calvin or #Calvinism?
Don't trust. Verify:

Have you not heard bad things about Calvin or Calvinism? (and I haven't read all of The Institutes yet)
I have. Much of it was mischaracterization.
I have Pentecostal extended family on my wife's side. If there's anything they think they know about Calvin/Calvinism, it's not a positive attribution. I think mostly they lack knowledge about it though. Pentecostals know even very little about their own tradition.
Side-note: instant cure for Pentecostalism is studying church history
