Editing Hyper-Calvinism (section)

===Historic definitions of the term===
In his publication from 1825, George Croft defined Hyper-Calvinism as holding to a particular design of Christ's death and denying a general design. He also notes that Hyper-Calvinists were generally styled High-Calvinists because they had views above genuine Calvinism: denying that the death of Christ was "in any respect" intended for the salvation of all, not inviting all to believe in Christ for salvation, contending that invitations should only be given to the "willing", and holding to [[antinomianism|antinomian]] doctrines, which tend to discourage holiness.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Croft |first=G. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=A9gGAAAAQAAJ&dq=hyper+calvinism&pg=PA169 |title=The Christian Instructor; Containing a Brief But Comprehensive View of the Evidences, Doctrines, Duties, External Economy and Prospects of the Christian Religion.
