The present work intends to analyze a religious doctrine within Calvinism, pointing towards the power that has a dogma in the religious imaginary, fomenting and motivating the religious subject in his actions as an eagerness in search of his mission. The doctrine of predestination, along our investigative path, has demonstrated this power. From the Reformation of John Calvin, in the second stage of the sixteenth century until the arrival of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil in the nineteenth century, there was - in the doctrine of predestination - a vocation that propelled the religious being, believed as an "elect" To go forward always motivating him psychologically by this doctrine, even in the face of the contradictions and conflicts of each event. In this way, predestination is a doctrine of action. Are they all predestined to a vocation? In fact, where this doctrine was present, it generated in the heart of the "chosen ones" a feeling of exclusivity and belonging to the sacred. In “elected" Israel, in Calvin's Geneva, in Scotland of John Knox, in the New England of the Puritans, or in any places where predestination was present, brought this characteristic of belonging and / or the feeling of being in the " Center of the world". Revolutions were nourished, dethroned kings, reformed nations, conflicts and synods reunited, political, ideological, religious, economic, and social transformations occurred by the power of this doctrine as Max Weber recalled: "But if we start here, And therefore inquire into the meaning to be conferred on this dogma as far as its historical-cultural effects are concerned, it must certainly be of the most remarkable. “Therefore, to support our analysis, we will start from the concept of election in the Judeo-Christian religion; Transforming in the term coined by Paul, predestination; Passing through Augustine of Hippo, until arriving at Calvin and his subsequent exegesis in Calvinism of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries and his final journey in Brazil with the arrival of the Presbyterians of Mission. Of course, with the IPB, the doctrine of predestination still has a centrality.
