What is the proper way to handle a disambiguation that shouldn't be a
disambiguation?

Wikipedia lists an entry for Kingdom of God. Then there is a separate
listing for Kingdom of Heaven. The listing for Kingdom of Heaven is
listed as a disambiguation page for Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, much
Baptist theology holds that these are two distinct things and not a
disambiguation. 

What is the proper way to correct this. I made a crude attempt on the
existing disambiguation page. Let me know if that is a satisfactory
method. I'm not completely happy with it because it implies
acknowledgement as a disambiguation where, from our perspective none
exists. Had the page not already existed, it would never be explained
this way. There would simply be a note indicating that the terms are
considered synonymous in some theologies and not in others.

Please let me know what the accepted practice is.
