Calvin was an early protestant, so I don't expect you to be familiar with his teachings unless you went out of your way to learn about him. I was a Presbyterian, which is a Calvinist denomination, which might be the only reason I've heard of him.

Oh yes, John Calvin. I am familiar. I really don't think most denominations fall under this category though.

It's increasingly rare these days because it doesn't sit well with free will doctrine and isn't considered particularly progressive
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
