I would say that I'm most definitely not stereotypical of Baptist, and what experience I do have would lead me to believe that most Baptist do not think about or learn about the relationship of the Church to God or how Israel and the Church compare.
There is much difference in Reformed and arminian Baptists. Most of the Baptists where I live have gone to church all their lives, yet few really read their Bibles. Many Christians never read the OT at all.

The sad fact is that most people just don't have the desire or the encouragement to study these things out and come to an opinion, rather they let their pastors do it for them just as those pastors have let their pastors tell them. It's the blind leading the blind!
OK, Luke so now you have your job cut out for you! Go and tell them. Preach it brother! BigThumbUp
