Imho, (many) reformed folk often take great pleasure in our doctrine – yet with little enthusiasm for practical application
This seems evident to me, too. For example, the Red Cross can jump in a disaster and make things happen fast for relieving suffering while my church denomination (Reformed Baptists) has a very small impact. They will not join in with less doctrinally sound organizations.

It smacks of Phariseeism and I want no part of that.

Spurgeon says our brothers opinions may be as far apart as the poles but we are still brothers under Jesus and must work together with them, accept them, get molded by them and mold them.
