Orthodox Presbyterians, especially ministers and elders,
strongly disagree with Baptists on their view of baptism, though they recognize sincere Baptists as brothers and sisters in Christ. One thing we dont hear from our pulpits is tirades against Baptists and their doctrine of believers baptism. It does no good to our concerns for brotherly love among believers and grieves those who might have friends or relatives who are Baptists. http://www.opc.org/qa.html?question_id=282
Thanks.
Dr.E. and I argue at length about Baptism, but we always know we are Brothers and Sisters in Christ. It's great to see RC's start to understand that for us it's our faith that unites us not membership in a church. We always pray that someday RC's will come to believe in The Gospel and join us.

We always pray that someday RC's will come to believe in The Gospel and join us. Another falsehood. If by "RC's" you mean to say Catholics, we already believe in the gospel. Just not in the heretical and myriad self-interpretations so rampant in the cults.
As for joining you (plural), why would we do that, when we have the real deal? The Lord Jesus Christ, Risen Son of the Living Almighty God and Savior of the World, wholly God and wholly man, joins us in the mass every day. Who needs cults/sects/heretics?

Thanks for your ping.
IMHO: The differences between Calvinist and non_Calvinists on God and man are so stark that I wouldn’t call it a “united faith.” Closer to different religions.
This and the issues such a baptism also illustrate that disunity and the core problem of sola scriptura to having a truly unified Body of Christ.
