I’d go a little further than that. The Baptists came out of the Anabaptist (Zwingli) movement which generally had a heaping helping of Calvin, and the Presbyterians came out of the Wesleyan movement who was noted for opposing Calvin.

There are some great theological gaps between the two, not just baptism.

--<<(((GASP!!!)))>>--

There are so many errors in that one sentence I think perhaps you intended to mislead people.

Extraordinary.

It's going to take some time before I'm able to read another post of yours and not see this one.

1) The Swiss Reformer Zwingli believed in infant baptism and was an opponent of the Anabaptists.

2) Presbyterians did not "come out of the Wesleyan movement." Presbyterianism as a denomination was founded in Scotland by John Knox (who studied under Calvin in Geneva) 200 years before John Wesley.

John Wesley may be had his disagreements with reformed theology, but John Calvin is most closely aligned with the Presbyterian Church.
