I thought of asking this question on the other Netherlands thread; however I thought it might be a little off topic.

I have been told by a few people that much of what is known as 'Dutch Reformed' is hyper-Calvinism.
I also know a few Arminians of Dutch descent, who speak as though the Dutch Reformed denomination is poison.

I have a few questions related to this.
1. Is the Dutch Reformed denomination hyper-Calvinist?
2. Could the reaction by the people I know of Dutch descent be a by-product of hyper-Calvinism?
I got the feeling that I had better not bring up the fact that I was a Calvinist to these people. whatsgoingonhere
