I agree with brother Phil Johnson who defined the term "hyper-Calvinist" in the same way as I have previously in this book.
He wrote:
"A hyper-Calvinist is someone who either:
1. Denies that the gospel call applies to all who hear, OR
2. Denies that faith is the duty of every sinner, OR
3. Denies that the gospel makes any "offer" of Christ, salvation, or mercy to the non-elect (or denies that the offer of divine mercy is free and universal), OR
4. Denies that there is such a thing as "common grace," OR
5. Denies that God has any sort of love for the non-elect."

Great definition. His dilemma is that it indicts many calvinist as they don't want to be indentified with the error.
