“If we place our trust in Christ, what does it matter what dispensation we are in?”
Here is a good reason: If an unbeliever picks up the Bible and starts to wonder what his Christian friend thinks of the MANY prophecy passages, it does little good for the Christian to tell the unbeliever a preterist interpretation.
Why?
Because the preterist interpretation is so common-sensically wrong, and the average reading person sees it from a mile away.
The unbeliever is then left to wonder if anything from the Bible is true at all as a result.

========================
INDEED TO THE MAX.
Partial preterists (i.e. those who think the great trib happened in the first century) wouldn't confuse an unbeliever, as there was a tribulation of the church (as opposed THE tribulation) during the first century. So in that sense, it isn't common-sensically wrong to be a partial preterist.
