I came from a Congregationalist background and when I became reformed and understood the "5 points" I thought that was all there was to being reformed or Presbyterian.
In school I have been studying Pres. style government and church polity along with all the little things like violations of the second commandment, psalms singing, all the things they bring people up on charges over that other denoms would overlook or handle differently. My point is there is a world of difference between Baptists and Presbyterians even though many would agree wholeheartedly on the Doctrines of grace. There are things that a Baptist might not even notice that a Pres. would find very offensive. It requires a complete change of mindset. One would almost need a class just to find out about all the differences.
Maybe you already know of all these little differences, if not they are definitely worth looking into.
