A Hyper-Calvinist is not someone who is especially excited about Calvinism. Hyper-Calvinism has crucial theological distinctions from orthodox Calvinism.
It’s been said that John Calvin was the greatest theologian outside of the apostles. Many consider Jonathan Edwards the greatest philosopher. George Whitefield has been called the greatest evangelist. And very few would dispute that Charles Spurgeon was the greatest preacher.

On Life & Scripture by Jeremy Sarber
From our theology to our politics to our behavior in the home or workplace, everything we believe and do should be governed by this guiding principle—do all to the glory of God.
Calvinism is not merely TULIP. It’s a worldview informed and shaped by Scripture. It’s a mission to let the Word of God define all things. It’s a culture thoroughly immersed in the Bible for the glory of God.
Occasionally, someone will ask, “What’s a Calvinist?” Naturally, I want to explain the doctrinal distinctions. But I believe there’s an underlying, fundamental cultural distinction underpinning all other distinctions, and it is the Calvinist’s high view of Scripture.
It’s one thing to believe the Bible. Most any Christian claims to believe in the Bible. It’s quite another to depend upon it as though it were our sustenance for living.
