Come Out from Among Them: Anti-Nicodemite Writings of John Calvin
John Calvin

At the time of the Reformation, some persons who claimed to be Reformed pretended to be Roman Catholic, attending mass and giving their Romanist neighbors no reason to think that they were Reformed. Calvin addressed this behavior, calling on these people, if they believed in Christ, to make a public confession of their faith, rather than dissembling for the purpose of keeping their status in society. He called them to separation from a false church.
