Okay, so it would at least appear you hold to the supralapsarian view. Fine! Is there any particular reason you asked the question? Historically, the majority view has been Infralapsarian but those holding to Supralapsarianism were not excluded, shoved to the fringes, etc. However, there have been some individuals and groups/denominations who have taken their supra view to extremes which effected other doctrines in such a way that it did result in strong opposition, schism and splits, usually instigated by the supras.

Just in case you haven't read Bavinck on the subject, you can do so here:
