This isn't hypercalvinism. It is lapsarianism.

Actually, it is "supra-lapsarian", which is the position John Calvin took. Please see "The Intistutes of the Christian Religion" Book II, Chapter 12, Section 5. Page 469, Volume I The Library of Christian Classics edited by John McNeill, and translated by Ford Lewis Battles.

"This passage briefly shows Calvin as favoring the supralapsarian as opposed to the infralapsarian view of the decress of God.".

Is John Calvin a "hyper-Calvinist"? I think not!
