Good questions,

I am not particularly familiar with the Dutch Reformed position.
Other that the accusation to beware of many of their “hyper-Calvinist tendencies.”
Of which I tried to ignore, because at the time I had more pressing things going on.

He did however mention, that this was the Lutheran position.
I am not sure if that is correct, but my experience in dialogue with Lutherans
is not a good one.
Mainly, that they tried to convince me that the Reformed position that states:
“We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. But not by a faith that is alone.”
He says by adding “but not by a faith that is alone.” Is works based righteousness.
Another thing they did was try to tell me that CT (Covenant Theology) is unbiblical and told me that NCT is biblical.
They made sure they added that this is no trivial issue and they were very concerned about me. They recommended that I listened to some sermons by a theologian by the name Gay.

I noticed something else he said in the quote I gave. He seemed to indicate that his position is in line with the Reformed Confessions and the Canons of Dorte’.


I ended up unfriended both of them.
