With no PoDs prior to 1531, how different can the Reformation in Switzerland in the short term? What I’m specifically wondering here is, can the theology of Double Predestination and Election be significantly reduced in influence during the 16th Century?

Suppose, for example, that Zwingli wasn’t killed in the Battle of Kappel? Would it, for example, be enough for John Calvin to be spightly less successful in Geneva (even if he still writes his 1536 book)? Or is Calvin’s role in pushing predestination overstated? And if something like this is possible, what are the reverberations on the Reformation over the next century?
