CONFESSIONS of a Ex-Hyper-Calvinist... ...Take note of the stress the above definition places on hyper-Calvinists’ “denial of the use of the word ‘offer’ in relation to the preaching of the gospel.” This is virtually the epitome of the hyper-Calvinist spirit: it is a denial that the gospel message includes any sincere proposal of divine mercy to sinners in general. Third, mark the fact that hyper-Calvinism “encourages introspection in the search to know whether or not one is elect.” Assurance tends to be elusive for people under the influence of hyper-Calvinist teaching.... Therefore, hyper-Calvinism soon degenerates into a cold, lifeless dogma... Hyper-Calvinist churches and denominations tend to become either barren and inert, or militant and elitist...etc.
