It was God's perfect will that He raise up a man such as Spurgeon and countless other Baptist preachers who sounded forth the doctrines of grace and called sinners to repentance and Christ Jesus. Personally, knowing that the conversions that took place under their ministry were for the most part valid, and their preaching sound, I'm not going to question God's prerogative in ordaining them to be His spokesmen.
