    Dear Mr. Johnson,

    It has come to my attention the two websites I edit, maintain, and promote have been singled out and placed on your website under the heading of “bad theology” 4. They are listed amongst the websites of various false movements including the Vineyard churches and Daniel Fuller’s website which promotes works based justification. I’m not bothered by the fact that 5solas.org and pristinegrace.org have been placed so prominently on your “bookmarks page”, but I am indeed thankful for the subsequent internet traffic which will be directed toward them. However, since you have publicly mentioned my websites as well as my name personally, I am compelled to defend myself as well as my espoused doctrines for which you have boldly indicated a strong distaste. This letter to you is written to directly oppose your popular article, A Primer on Hyper-Calvinism 1.

Usually, there are many negative connotations that are implied in this label and it's not hard to pick up on them in the tones of the voices who slap this label on me. When I jump on Paltalk for a friendly conversation about the Bible and theology, it's a rare occasion when I don't hear a sneering individual boldly claim, "You're a hyperr-calvinisssssssssssssssssst!" You would think that with all the shrill exclamations there is something very terrible about my beliefs. But from my perspective, I don't understand what the big deal is and indeed think there are serious problems with those who would oppose these doctrines which I hold in high esteem. ...
