Since the term hyper-Calvinism is a fiction why don't you and Pensacola consider calling the behavior you are describing here something else which is more accurate?

How about "Camping-ism" or "hyper-Camping-ism" or even "hyper-Phelpsism" since neither Calvin nor proper application of what are the tenets of Calvinism resemble anything those clowns are up to?

Why drag Calvin's name down into any of that behavior?

As I have stated before, any association that these clowns claim to have with Calvin is a perversion of what ever Calvin wrote, even to the point of putting word in Calvin’s mouth, so to speak. Pretzel logic if you will, which is used by a lot of cults. What started this was another board member claiming Phelps to be a Calvinist. Whatever claims Phelps has to Calvinism is either a perversion or a defamation of Calvin. I would tend towards the latter, including Phelps defamation of Christianity as a whole. Especially with his cult’s so-called witnessing style of “you’re going to hell, neener neener neener”, and nothing at all about God’s saving grace. Phelps is a liar, plain and simple. Case closed.
And again, I do not follow certain aspects of Pensacola’s POV (especially when they have a little problem with legalism, but that is a whole ‘nuther discussion). My pastor is a bit of a Pensacola fan, however it is a church that is solidly on the Gospel yet still has a traditional worship style. I don’t go to a church service for a Broadway production or a rock concert.
