And most of those are on the debate between election and free will. That does not qualify as *wildly divergent*. It’s a disagreement of interpretation on something that is not critical to salvation.

The difference between free will and election is only one of order of salvation.. ...this is no MAJOR divergence .

John Oldenbarneveld would likely disagree, if he still had his head connected to his body.

only one of order of salvation.

That "order" being before being born versus after being born?

Kinda makes the distinction between infant and adult baptism seem very small in comparison.

I feel it safe to say that most would see different answers to the question: "Do humans have free will to believe or reject the gospel?" as major soteriological divergence.
