Dutch term or phrase: orthodox-bevindelijke onderstroom
"De reeds genoemde [voorganger A], docent aan theologische school in [stad X], werd in 1862 door [voorganger B] uit [stad] beschuldigd van onrechtzinnigheid. Ook nu was het ruime genadeaanbod aan de orde. De classis [stad Y] koos duidelijk voor de theologie van [voorganger A] en [voorganger B] moest vier vragen beantwoorden om zijn rechtzinnigheid te bewijzen. De classis was het erover eens dat de zaligheid niet verbonden was aan de 'maat en trap der persoonlijke verzekering' maar aan het geloof. Hierdoor raakte de **orthodox-bevindelijke onderstroom** al voor [voorganger C] min of meer in een toestand van vervreemding en ontstond een nieuwe subgroep."

Last Q re this paragraph. I'm not quite sure about this term but this is what I've created so far:

"Consequently, for [voorganger C], the **orthodox experiential undercurrent** was already more or less in a state of alienation/estrangement, and a new sub-group had arisen."

Your input would be appreciated. Cheers, Rob.

Explanation:
hoewel met minority de eventuele dubbele betekenis van onderstroom verloren gaat.

Deze internetpagina biedt misschien wel meer mogelijke vertalingen:
Bekering in bevindelijk gereformeerde kring. Een psychologische studie

...
Central question of the study is; in which way structures the Pietistic Reformed view on conversion the faith of contemporary Pietistic Reformed Christians
...

De kerken die deze internetpagina noemt zitten helemaal volgens genoemde principes in elkaar, in de huidige PKN en in één van diens voorlopers de Nederlands hervormde kerk is / was genoemde stroming een onderstroming, hoewel waarschijnlijk relatief groeiend.
