A: Neither.
So the spew is as follows, “I believe in Acts 238” followed by excuses as to why the trinitarian is going to heaven.
I said, “You DON’T believe because you’re making excuses for someone to be saved some other way.” I think I even told him that he’s being nicer than Jesus. 
So, for this I am a Pharisee.

I got a huge wake up call years ago. I was sitting with vegans and primal diet eaters. Two farthest points of the spectrum. Well, they locked horns in passive discussion, and were trying to convert each other. It isn't about who is right, it isn't about us. I have been called every name in the book, I'm only called a Preterist when my opposition has run out of things to discuss. It is used in place for a curse word, in their minds. Just like calling someone a Pharisees, they just run out of real things to say.
Making excuses because MeeMaw and PeePaw were supposedly saved when they were Christian Scientists? Aunt Willa Mae Jean was a devoted Catholic prayed more than any human alive, was able to spit holy water 50 yards and knock a mosquito off Uncle Thibodeaux's nose. So how can she not be seated at the right hand of the Father? This is across the board. Look, newspaper says Benjamin Netanyahu is personally overseeing the building of a temple in Jerusalem. The Jordanians and all Muslims of the world want him and the Israelis to remove the Dome of the Rock and build baby build. Does that make it Biblically so? No, but sadly people are faithless, and have to jab the Word of God with some ecclesiastical steroids. To make them believe in whatever doctrine makes them comfortable.
You meaning to tell me Sister Biddy Joe wasn't saved when she died? She spoke in tongues more than ye all! She was meaner than a cat stuck under the porch, but she prayed in tongues, she spoke prophecies in tongues. She spoke in tongues all over the place, and shouted all over the sanctuary until her bobby pins and oatmeal box launched across the pews. She was in the prayer room from dark to dawn. Brother B!!! How can you say Sister Biddy Joe wasn't saved!!
Sorry, but its the Word that saves us, not our experiences viewed through our bias religious ecclesiastical eyes.
Someone calls you a pharisee, then know that the discussion is over.
