K2P: What you state could not be farther from the truth. I have been called a HC before, and the label is thrown around without the people knowing what it actually means.
[Linked Image] The lad has some truth to what he said. And how do I come to that conclusion? Well, for one reason, I studied at the seminary of a hyper-Calvinist denomination. So, I guess that means what I know about hyper-Calvinism comes straight from the horses mouth. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

At the risk of being too brief, hyper-Calvinism always posits at least these two points:

1) A total denial of any "Free Offer" of the Gospel. (details to follow)
2) A denial of anything that even hints at what is called, "Common Grace". (admittedly, sometimes with good reason)

The best description and criticism of hyper-Calvinism I know of, thanks to brother fredman here on the Board, was written by Phil Johnson, no mean Calvinist himself, which you can read here: A Primer on Hyper-Calvinism.
