That site isn't quite correct. If it was I would be a hyper. I certainly hold to promiscuous evangelism as the Gospel of the free and sovereign grace God in Chrst Jesus alone is to preached to all. I do not hold to duty/faith or to common grace and I certainly believe in eternal justification. I am not even close to being a hyper.Most Calvinists don't agree with, or even like being in the company of, "hyper-Calvinists". On top of that, Calvinists (leaving out hypers) have some variation in their thought. That's why I prefer to not use the term, "Calvinist" because I don't walk in lockstep with him. In fact, I can't even say that I fully know everything he ever wrote or said.
Hopefully this website will be helpful to you: Types of Calvinism – A Comprehensive List
Appeal to ridicule again.
The syllogism is:
Oz
- Taylor claims that Oz's labelling of fallacious arguments needs to by made as a syllogism to be true.
- Taylor makes the fallacious argument look ridiculous by misrepresenting it as asinine.
- Therefore, Oz's claim about a logical fallacy is false.

A true hyper-Calvinist doesn't believe in preaching the Gospel inviting sinners to faith in Christ. They believe Gos saves His elect without them ever hearing of Christ. They view election as being salvation where we understand the election is unto salvation through the means of thr preaching the Gospel. We hold that the preaching of the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to them that believe.Not being a calvinist of any stripe, could you please explain the difference to me?
Thank you. I can see where that idea would come from, even though it violates the Great Commission.A true hyper-Calvinist doesn't believe in preaching the Gospel inviting sinners to faith in Christ.

Wow. I read that in there too.It says that Hypers REJECT promiscuous evangelism.
Yes but they add many of the things that I believe as being hyper.
I reject all but promiscuous evangelism but I am not a hyper. Many Reformed folks make up such lists in order to accuse us very high Calvinists of heresy.1). Total hyper-Calvinism:
Rejects:
Duty / faith
The well-meant offer
Common grace,
Any love for the reprobate by God
Promiscuous evangelism

You have read many of my posts so can decide for yourself where I stand as a hyper.Here's where I fall on the spectrum. Well-balanced, of course
5). Moderate Calvinism
Affirms:
Compatibilism, sometimes a slightly higher form
Few Supras, many Infras, many without a position
Usually Common Grace
Usually the well-meant offer
Promiscuous non-selective evangelism
Love for the reprobate, most say non-salvific
Only if you accept the description of a duck that is a goose instead.

I was raised hyper and had to struggle with what it meant to preach the Gospel. When the Spirit opened my eyes to the truth I left hyper-Calvinism. Now they call me an ArminianI personally know a couple of hypers, and they deny they are. I've not come across one who admits it. Have you?

Aren't there more things to being hyper than not preaching the gospel?
What about having to be born again BEFORE accepting Christ, because we have no free will? I sure hope that's hyper.
What about if you are one of God's elect it doesn't matter if you keep sinning, you are saved?
Some hypers deny the new birth. Others don't.Aren't there more things to being hyper than not preaching the gospel?
