I think one of the big problems I see is that DT's do not see the huge role that family plays in salvation. DT's tend to be individualistic to a fault. I guess what I am saying is that when you do not look at the bible through the lense of covenant you really miss that the primary means that God uses to bring faith to the individual is through the family, the primary means to preserve faith is through the family, the primary means to reform the nations is through the family. That's a big drawback. Go to most any DT church and you see a disconect in this area(this has been the case in my experience, I have been corrected on this point, it is not the case in all DT churches). Segregated sunday school, worship, and activities are the norm. Parents rush there kids to the nurseries and classes so they can run off and have their own personal worship and discipleship time.
