Well, I am not a 5 point Calvinist anymore, but when I was a staunch 5 pointer I never bought into this as a definition of hyper-calvinism....i.e. I viewed a Calvinist as one who DID deny common grace and DID deny the well-meant offer of the Gospel! See the link

Clearly hyper-calvinism is not universally defined. My view always was that a hyper-calvinist was one who denied that anybody BUT a 5 point Calvinist could be saved. I.e. who denied that a Lutheran, a 4-point Calvinist, or even an 5-point Arminian could be saved. Case in point...Marc Carpenter (of Outside the Camp fame).

Grace is not common.
