There is One Baptism, But Not One Baptist View of Baptism

Thanks Jonathan for your irenic and thoughtful response. I, too, am grateful for our time together in D.C. and our friendship and partnership in the gospel. Here are a few thoughts by way of rejoinder.
Is There Only One Baptist View?
There are a couple of points where you define something as the Baptist view when I think it would be better called the โ€œmajority Baptist viewโ€ (or, in some contexts, simply โ€œa Baptist viewโ€). There is diversity within the Baptist tradition, as well as diversity among Baptists today, on questions of mode, membership, the Lordโ€™s Supper, classification of infant baptism, and ecumenical cooperation.
