Hyper-Calvinism's root error is a false conception of God and his ways, produced by speculating beyond what Scripture reveals.
Hyper-Calvinism and Arminianism are identified as mirror-image errors: Arminianism over-weights human agency, while Hyper-Calvinism rests on a false conception of God and his ways in the world. The root error of Hyper-Calvinism is traced to speculation about what God has not revealed, producing conclusions that contradict Scripture.
Hyper-Calvinism and Arminianism are mirror image errors.
There's too much emphasis on humanity and in the other there's a false notion of who God is and how God works in the world.
It ends up being speculation about his ways that leads to conclusions that are not consistent with what the word of God says.
Applications
Guard against speculation about God's unrevealed ways, and anchor all conclusions about his nature and work in the word of God.
