Tom, Again, it depends on how you define the term. I have been called a hyper- Calvinist, by those in my home Bible Study, because I believe that we don’t co-labor with God in respect to works, anything we do of eternal value comes from God. And everything we do both good and bad happens by necessity, though as Luther said, “not by compulsion” in respect to the evil that man does. You are correct, that “Infra and Supra” were represented in the Westminister Confessions, but the “Infra’ view of election and reprobation, was the more palatable direction in the WCF for God’s high decree’s. After all, God being passive in man’s demise (leaving man in his sinful state) and passing him by, sounds a lot better than God being active in man’s reprobation as Proverbs 16:4 and Rev. 17:8 state and which “Supra’s” believe. And I have been called a hyper-Calvinist in this regard also.I would rather like to be called a man who honestly looks at Scripture, instead of hyper-Calvinist, yet, labeling does occur nonetheless.
