As a Presbyterian listener, I really enjoy the discussions on your podcast. Your insights are valuable and thought-provoking. However, I've noticed a tendency to portray Presbyterians as hindering the gospel or not being true champions of it. I'd like to express caution on this. I believe it's important to remember that Presbyterians, like Baptists, are also committed to the gospel. While our expressions of faith may differ, we share a common goal of spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. I would encourage you to extend more charity towards our Presbyterian brothers. By doing so, you can set a positive example for Baptist listeners to show love and respect for fellow believers, even when we disagree on certain practices or doctrines. Let's focus on the unity we share in Christ rather than highlighting our differences and projecting them as substandard in a derogatory way.

I'm not sure at what point they were being uncharitable

Watch carefully how much time they spend in digging Presbyterian stance. Rather than assuming Presbyterians are more likely to compromise the gospel, we should respectfully disagree, recognizing that both sides aim to glorify God. It's difficult to partner with those we believe are on a path toward compromising church principles. Yet, 9Marks attempts to project unity with Presbyterian brothers, which seems contradictory given their perception of Presbyterians. It's wise to be cautious of such doctrinal pride and blind dogmatism.

@Rohan1275 there wasn't pride. Understandably, they are Baptists supporting the Baptist position. I'm neither Baptist or Presbyterian.
