    The Life And Testimony Of William Bright

    About a year or two ago one Sunday, a young man came to my house with some tracts; I asked him in; he told me he doing God’s work, asked if I ever read the Bible, and many other things of the duty-faith school. I said, ‘my Bible tells me, God would work, and none should hinder; and that his grace was saving, rich, and free;’ he was puzzled, replying he did not get anything for doing it. He took his leave, no doubt thinking what a hyper he had met with; I was never asked for that tract, never was another one brought; but he was one of the Lord’s little ones; so the Lord taught him. He had a grandfather, a good and…

    3 Hyper Calvinist Quotes

    Below are twenty-five more statements made by Hyper Calvinists: J. Hupton: “The faith under consideration is a blessing of the covenant of grace. This you must either admit or deny. If you deny it, you renounce the gospel, which says, that faith is the gift of God. That he chose his people to the belief of the truth; that he gives them on the behalf of Christ, to believe on his name; that when he calls them to believe, it is according to his own purpose and grace given them in Christ, before the world began;---and that, his covenant is ordered in all things, and sure; and, therefore, must include faith. If you admit of it, then you must give up the point in dispute;…

    Below are twenty-five more statements made by Hyper Calvinists: J. Bloomfield: “It affords me no small gratification to meet with so many kind brethren in the ministry, as surround me this evening. I pray that they may be preserved in this dark and cloudy day of error and superstition, when Fullerism and Baxterianism are rapidly extending their baneful influence. I pray we may all take a decided stand again these sentiments; for while we love all who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, and in truth, it becomes us, as ambassadors, to stand faithful to the truth.” C. Banks: “The Baptist churches in Tring are not in a very flourishing condition. Akeman Street wants a good, full-weight, upright, first-rate pastor; brethren from the different…

    A Defense Of Hyper-Calvinism

    It may be asked, what can have provoked the spirit of Mr. Aikman to level his shafts of vituperative slander against such servants of God as the late Mr. Philpot, Dr. Hawker, and not less against the late Messrs. Huntington, Gadsby, Vinall, and Warburton, though these last three, merely to suit his own purpose, are not mentioned by name in his book?  The storm which Mr. Aikman says he has by his own vigorous hand raised in the Strict Baptist churches is not, and cannot be in strict justice because any of the good men who are now silent in their graves were in their life opposed to an indiscriminate preaching of the Gospel to sinners, or to all classes of hearers of the word;…

    A Meaningful Discussion Between Moderate And Hyper Calvinists

    Many followers of Andrew Fuller believe the fundamental error of Hyper Calvinism revolves around an imbalance between divine sovereignty and human responsibility.  Many followers of John Gill believe the fundamental error of Moderate Calvinism (Fullerism) revolves around their distinction between the covenant of redemption and the covenant of grace.  The Moderate Calvinist believes unregenerate sinners are responsible to savingly believe on Christ under a conditional covenant of grace, and that regenerate sinners are responsible to  obey the heart law once they have been born again.  The Hyper Calvinist believes unregenerate sinners are responsible to obey the heart law under the authority of the covenant of works, and that regenerate sinners are responsible (privileged) to savingly believe on Christ under the authority of the unconditional covenant…

    1 Hyper Calvinist Quotes

    Mark you; many of our fine so-called ministers talk about offering salvation: and men refusing: they might as well go to the farthest and of the coal pit, and command the coal to rise up, and walk out of itself. God says, “I will bring them;” and that not part of the way merely; no: but through the fire, and try them; purify them: put a living, crying soul into them: and answer them in the joy of their hearts: so that they shall say, “the Lord is my God; and I will say they are my people.” W. Skelton: “Such are the notions [misinterpreting the scriptures] of Wesleyans, Fullerites, Mongrel Calvinists, and Modem Baptists.” W. Tant: “All the efforts of man—all the strategems of…
