For some odd reason, the Baptists are closer to the Reformed than the Methodists - Wesleyans, and to some extent the Lutherans as well. Both Methodists and Lutherans believe that one can lose his/hers salvation.

I think the most distinguishing mark between the Reformed and many practicing Baptists is:

Reformed - Regeneration, faith, applied justification

Many of the Baptists: faith, regeneration, appropriated justification.
