[edit] NPOV

This NPOV was tagged on this article when it was named "Double Predestination"... I moved it here so that "Double Predestination" will be a disambigious (?) page that links here and Predestination (Calvinism)...

I will make necessary changes later but as of now there are errors on this article.

What reliable sources call this version of double predestination "hyper-Calvinism"? Are you suggesting that all supralapsarianism is hyper-Calvinistic? --Flex (talk/contribs) 14:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I support the edits that Flex made, and Avielh reverted. Extended quotes from Calvin are not useful, though briefer quotes with summary and context may be useful. The Piper quote does not say anything particular about predestination, nor does it say anything that any Calvinist would disagree with. Finally, Hyper-Calvinism specifically concerns a denial of the need to evangelize, and not a specific view of predestination. You are using it here in the pejorative sense, which is not appropriate. --BlueMoonlet 17:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I have restored my version because of the over-zealous reversion by Avielh. If part of my change should be reverted (which is dubious to begin with per BlueMoonlet above), only those pieces should be touched, not the whole thing. --Flex (talk/contribs) 17:10, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
