Hyper-Calvinism
Jun 28th, 2007 by admin
Tim Challies has a good post that describes the pitfalls of hyper-Calvinism. Hyper-Calvinism is ultimately an unbilbical understanding of God’s Word and falls far short of what is meant by the doctrines of grace. Here are TC’s five characteristics of a hyper-Calvinist:
- 1. Denies that the gospel call applies to all who hear, OR
- 2. Denies that faith is the duty of every sinner, OR
- 3. Denies that the gospel makes any “offer” of Christ, salvation, or mercy to the non-elect (or denies that the offer of divine mercy is free and universal), OR
- 4. Denies that there is such a thing as “common grace,” OR
- 5. Denies that God has any sort of love for the non-elect.
