On the other hand, one could take a different view of baptism, such as baptismal salvation or a complete rejection of baptism, and that would be a far more serious matter.
I'm sorry, but this whole thread is unhelpful. To equate a difference (even with the creeds) on the timing of the final resurrection with an outright rejection of the resurrection is ludicrous. Full preterism is heresy, both because it contradicts the creeds, and the clear teaching of Scripture.
I will ask you directly, and I will report the thread and ask the Administrators to wait for a response: Are you a full preterist? Is that why you started this thread, to gain a foothold for full preterism? | No, I am not a full preterist and I am not condeming classical premil as heresy either. Just to raise the issue of its departure to the ecumenical creeds.
But anyway, I don't think conviction of full preterism means a man is lost. I don't dare to say that.
Thank you
