Calvin came along and wrote down what most "protestants" believed, and thus became a figurehead, although he wasn't preaching anything "new" to Protestantism. Arminius according to my husband disagreed with Calvin's writings on total depravity, man's free will, etc, and sought to have Calvin declared a heretic.
At the Council of Dordt sp?

So after the Council of Dordt, all orthodox Protestants can then also be called "Calvinists" if they didn't deny the Council's findings and follow Arminius.
Many people today who call themselves Arminians don't actually know that Arminius was declared a heretic. Calvin was not seeking to become the figurehead of Protestantism, it was Arminius who wanted his views banned and Arminius's theology that was found wanting.
