Johannes Polhemius entered Heidelberg University at the height of the fervor over the Winter King and Queen, the Palatinate Elector Frederick and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of James I of England. Heidelberg University was the intellectual center of a progressive (as we would say now) theological and philosophical movement influenced by esotericism and characterized by aspirations to 'spiritual alchemy' - that is, the transformation and purification of the spirit (rather than of metal). It was Protestant, but marked by greater tolerance toward other variants of Protestantism than was Lutheranism. It is not improbable that Rev. Johannes followed his professors' bent of thought as a young man. In fact, his rejection by his Dutch congregation in the Netherlands, on the grounds that his way of speaking was too Palatinate, may give a hint he never really abandoned it. They may have objected to the content of some of his sermons, rather than merely to his accent. His thinking may have been a bit too liberal for them.

What is the difference between Lutheran and christian reformed?
Well, Lutheranism is based off the same background as Christian Reformed, but is a bit different. Lutheranism is not as based off of Faith as much as Christian Reformed. Although Faith is in the Lutheran Religion, childhood education on the subject plays a big role. For example, being Confirmed in a Lutheran Church is needed to take communion. Whereas, in a Christian Reformed Church the choice to take communion is given to you, providing the trust that you are a born again Christian, and have accepted Christ into your life. Other differences in the Churches include small variations in the service. These include the way the Pastor is dressed, the traditional music played in a Lutheran Church is guided by the hymnals, therefore singing Hymns, and the choic on the communion. In a Christian Reformed Church, worship music is played, the Pastor is dressed formally, and the communion is solely based off of faith and belief.
