There are a spectrum of Baptists.

If you were to address one point of disagreement what disagreement would you first deal with and why?

KJVO, as its a very destuctive held position among Baptist churches

I am of the opinion the primary KJV defense ought to be it has the English second person singular pronouns. Most modern transportation doesn't.

Goodness.....

Right now I woukd be say a faithfulness to Scripture.

Many of our differences are related to traditions. I believe if we could trust in the words of God rather than understandings we would be more unified (granted, different interpretations would exist, but Jesus would make us stand - these would be interpretations of "what is written").

Culture is another aspect I would address. We tend to segergate by age, race and gender. But the young can learn from the old (and vice versa), race is a social construct (we are one race, a chosen race, a priesthood of believers).

Secular politics would probably be 3rd on my list.

The disagreements on salvation.

That must be first and foremost!

What disagreement on salvation?

1 John 5:1, ". . . Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . ."

Yea...the first two were a tie. Tossed in the 3rd because I already mentioned two.

I hear you, Brother. But it's not that simple for many.

There are some disagreements where the other party will not discuss the difference in understanding. It is a closed topic before one is permitted start. On the mere fact of it being a different view.

What disagreements on salvation, as think all saved here would see it as saved by grace alone received thru faith alone

Would add also very important to get to where the Psa view on the Atonement is re energized into Baptist pastors pulpits and at our seminaries

Then a narrower view than even discussing a view if disagreed on.

A more biblical view on the Atonement

I would agree on how we are saved, but disagree that all here see it that way.

Agreed, as some would hold to heresy of baptismal regeneration, sacramental gracing, or good works plus faith saves us
