Calvinism (also called the Reformed tradition, Reformed Christianity, Reformed Protestantism or the Reformed faith) is a major branch of Protestantism that follows the theological tradition and forms of Christian practice of John Calvin and other Reformation-eratheologians.
Calvinists broke with the Roman Catholic Church but differed with Lutherans on the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, theories of worship, and the use of God's law for believers, among other things. Calvinism can be a misleading term because the religious tradition it denotes is and has always been diverse, with a wide range of influences rather than a single founder. The movement was first called Calvinism by Lutherans who opposed it, and many within the tradition would prefer to use the word Reformed. Since the Arminian controversy, the Reformed tradition — as a branch of Protestantism distinguished from Lutheranism — divided into separate groups, Arminians and Calvinists.
The Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated) (Dutch: Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland (vrijgemaakt)) are an orthodox Reformed, Protestant federation of churches. This church body arose in 1944 out of the so-called Liberation (Vrijmaking), when many pastors and members refused to go along with the General Synod's demand to hold to "presumed regeneration of infants" at their baptism. Prof. Dr. Klaas Schilder played an important role in the Liberation. There are currently 270 affiliated local congregations with a total of about 120,000 members in 2016.
Name
After the Liberation the church maintained that they were the legitimate continuation of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands and thus adopted that name (Dutch Gereformeerde Kerken in Nederland). However, because the denomination from which they had separated continued using that name, the addition "liberated" was used colloquially, although never officially, to distinguish the new denomination. Members of the Liberated church referred to the denomination from which they separated as the synodical church, which signified the remaining members' adherence to the rulings by the National Synod against which the Liberated churches protested. An older name for the Reformed Churches (Liberated) was Article 31 Churches in reference to one of the articles in the Church Order at the centre of the dispute between the two groups.
The Reformed Church in America, along with the Christian Reformed Church in North America, has its roots in the Dutch Reformed Church. This video will explain the history of the denomination and what its churches teach for doctrine.

Paul Washer warns of the 'contemporary reformed' movement, & other bad 'church movements'
I appreciate Reformed Theology, as it is deep in Doctrine, and rich in Theology, but seriously, let’s remove the log out of our own eyes. Many ‘orthodox’ scholars have been warning the church of this ‘contemporary reformed’ movement. But sadly since Christians live in a fallen world, and are all byproducts of the fallen nature of man, these worldly things will creep into all four corners of every Theological arena. This Young, Restless, & Reformed movement (YRR), is as dangerous as the Joel Osteen’s and Rick Warren’s in the other corners of the ring.
Lastly, the YRR movement is not limited to only “young” professing believers, it is amongst some of our older men too. And they are the ones that will wrongfully call those of us that “strive” for more sanctification and holiness, – “Pharisee...
