Anyone care to explain.

Depends on where you get your definition for "Preterist"

The way I understand it is:

The ALL PROPHECIES ARE FULFILLED belief is labled HYPER-Preterist, while a belief that MOST is Fullfiled is preterist, and a belief that SOME HAS BEEN fulfilled is partial-preterist.

Even YOU are a partial-preterist.

Oh, I didn't relies that there were three category. I only understood them to be two: Full and partial-preterist.

Then I would guess that only the Hyper-Preterist would say that Christ has came already and don't look for his return. Would I be right in my assumption?

I believe so.

I am confused whether or not Hyper-Preterist and Full Preterist are interchangable....so even my definition may be suspect.

An interesting read is Kenneth Gentrys online essay A Brief Theological Analysis of Hyper-Preterism

Gentry received a Doctorate from Whitfield Theological Seminary and has wriiten several non-hyperPreterist Preterist books on Eshatology.
