I did read the book, so I know.
I think the reason for that is - they believe that ALL PP's will eventually become FP's. I know that you don't agree with that, but that is my understanding on the subject.

Oh, right. You once mentioned that. Yes, they are thinking of PP's going FP. I can never in amillion years see that in my case, since I am so strong on ensuring we handle
1 Cor 15 correct in the physical resurrection issue, which FP's deny.
But it is really unfair to judge someone over what THEY MIGHT BECOME and not what they are right now. There are enough PP's out there who decry FP so strongly that they call it "heretical preterism." But since there were many apostolics who went to PP then to FP, that they thought that is the trend. WRONG! I claim the PP's who went FP simply took a good thing way too far, and got away from explicit teaching in the bible into surmisings.
You see, anyone can go off tangent from where they presently are. But why single out the PP's due to the trend of some PP's going FP? It is wrong wrong wrong.

BTW, I am enjoying reading your book, which you have pictured in your avatar! If I have any questions I'll let you know. Thanks for sending it and autographing it. I might decide to sell it on E-bay!
