Now, all dispensationalist are premil, but not all premill are dispensationalists.
I'm trying to figure out how preterists are heretics because the depart from the early creads. Heretics is the key word. Views on the book revelation don't a heretic make. Of course, Sproul is the preterist that I'm familiar with. And premill was a view when the creeds were written. So a good question would be how are full preterists heretics and how is that the same/how would that apply to premill? | The creeds affirm the last judgement, the resurrection are events right after the second coming of Christ. Premil has a gap between the coming of Christ and the last judgement, as well as two resurrections. Apostle's creed and Nicene creed state this implicitly. But Athanatian creed states this explicitly, by no means can a premil accept the creed.
Preterism denies the bodily coming of Christ and the bodily resurrection, thus departs from the ecumenical creeds and is condemned as heresy because of that.
