I won't present what full preterists believe as I feel the best way to understand what a view point is, is to get it straight from one that believes it and not from second-hand or hearsay, but yes, I am partial preterist.
At one time I was pretib (although it was merely what I was taught) and when I began my independent studies I graduated to Post-trib, (as pre-trib was the weakest view to explain Biblically) and upon further review, I became partial preterist and am convinced it holds closest to what Jesus and the apostles taught, particularly the events leading up to and surrounding the temple destruction and the scattering of the Jewish and the preservation of the Christians at that time. No, they weren't rapture, but fled Jerusalem when they saw the gentile armies surround Jerusalem, just like Jesus told them to do.
