Most Calvinists reject as deplorable the following hyper-Calvinistic and destructive beliefs:

- that God is the author of sin and of evil 
- that men have no will of their own, and secondary causes are of no effect 
- that the number of the elect at any time may be known by men 
- that it is wrong to evangelize 
- that assurance of election must be sought prior to repentance and faith 
- that men who have once sincerely professed belief are saved regardless of what they later do 
- that God has chosen some races of men and has rejected others 
- that the children of unbelievers dying in infancy are certainly damned 
- that God does not command everyone to repent 
- that the sacraments are not means of grace, but obstacles to salvation by faith alone. 
- that the true church is only invisible, and salvation is not connected with the visible church 
- that the Scriptures are intended to be interpreted by individuals only and not by the church. 
- that no government is to be obeyed which does not acknowledge that Jesus is the Lord, or that Biblical Law is its source of authority 
- that the grace of God does not work for the betterment of all men 
- that saving faith is equivalent to belief in the doctrine of predestination 
- that only Calvinists are Christians

I reject these destructive teachings and hope that this has given you a better understanding of what it means and what it does not mean to be a Calvinist/Reformed Christian.
