Jelte Numan notes on Defence of the Truth, based on Nederlands Dagblad 15-11-2014, that Dr. J. Douma left the Reformed Churches of the Netherlands (liberated). His comments:
That someone of Douma’s calibre should leave the RCN (Lib.) speaks volumes about just how far these churches have strayed from the truth. After all, Douma had been publicly criticised in the past for his liberal views by, for example, referring in the 1970s to members of the Baptist churches in England as “his brothers”. He was at the forefront of promoting unity with Christians of other church federations in various social and political organisations. He saw some validity in the doctrine of common grace as a means of cooperation with various Christians, distancing himself from Schilder in some key elements of this subject, and he sometimes spoke highly of Christian leaders who nevertheless had deviant views. For a man such as Douma, therefore, to leave the RCN (Lib.) accentuates all the more how sadly this church federation has moved away from being reformed.
