The Synod addressed theological questions including justification from eternity, presumptive regeneration/immediate regeneration and Infralapsarian/Supralapsarian;[1] this came after the publication of books by preacher Dr Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck and theses by Professor Lucas Lindeboom.
[2] The consistory of the Reformed Church in Hoorn appealed to the 1905 Synod about Lindeboom’s main five theses, urging that the RCN put a stop to their teachings, and a committee was put together to look at these.
[1] The committee agreed with Lindeboom’s views, with some caveats,[2] and the official ‘Conclusions of the Synod of Utrecht’ were adopted.
[3][4] The Christian Reformed Church in North America adopted the Conclusions of Synod Utrecht from 1908-68.
[7] In 1968, the CRC Synod stated that the Conclusions would no longer have the status of binding doctrinal deliverances.
