In reply to:[color:"blue"]Hyper-Calvinism does "ignore" evangelism and human responsibility. I used to attend a Strict and Particular baptist chapel in England and am well versed in hyper-calvinism. It is a false gospel in my opinion as is arminianism and dispensationalism.
Yes, I quite agree! However, my own comments specifically mentioned Calvinism and not "Hyper-calvinism". The ethical failure of most typical Arminians is that they fail to distinguish between True Calvinism and the false Calvinism of hyper-calvinism. The latter is used as a strawman attack against the former. But most Arminians rarely ever encounter a genuine hyper-calvinist, due to the thankfully very small numbers of the latter. Yet this does not stop the Arminian from falsely accusing Calvinists of the errors of hyper-calvinism. Even Spurgeon complained in his own day that "we are cried down as hypers".
Iain Murray's book, Spurgeon Vs. Hyper-Calvinism is an excellent antidote to hyper-calvinism. So too is almost any sermon by Spurgeon or by the Puritans (e.g. Alleine's Alarm to the Unconverted, Baxter's Call to the Uncoverted, Boston's Art of Manfishing, Fisher's Marrow of Modern Divinity, Whitefield's Sermons, McCheyne's Sermons, Bunyan's Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ, etc).
But ironically, some modern True Calvinists who oppose Christian Reconstructionism are guilty of a type of "hyper-Calvinism" themselves. For they deny human responsibility of the Civil Magistrate to obey and enforce God's laws. So what these opponents rightly denounce on a personal level against the geniune Hyper-calvinist (i.e. denying responsibility), they tend to affirm at the Civil Magistrate level.
Christian Reconstructionism is an antidote to this kind of social and political "hyper-calvinism", by affirming the responsibility of the civil magistrate (and all spheres of life) to obey God and His immutable law where stipulated by His Word.
