I have yet to meet a Preterist whose focus is upon church ministry or the spreading of the gospel or the building up of the church. To the contrary, those with whom I have thus far come into contact seem to have as their primary focus the spread of this particular teaching. Typical hit piece. John ought to pay a little more attention to people within his own church (PCA) as there are several partial preterists therein (particularly R.C. Sproul) who ARE focused on church ministry, spreading the gospel and building up the church, and spend relatively little time on eschatology.

Not to mention the fact that the author plays the guilt-by-association game with partial preterists. Every partial preterist I know would without reservation reject full preterism as heresy specifically because of some of the above points (particularly the denial of a future bodily resurrection).
