They already agreed on major points of doctrine at the time of the merger:
1. The Oneness of God
2. Baptism in Jesus name
3. Baptism of the Holy Ghost w/ evidence of speaking in tongues
This was had to be a major selling point for the merger.
Again, I think the clause was included to promote respect and tolerance while not contending for views.
Furthermore, I think history shows us that the AS resolution was a final crowning moment for those who did not want PCIers in the org.

You know, I have heard that often. Funny thing is, from my personal experience, everyone I was around at the time felt it was all about getting rid of the "liberals."
