I concur, stick with God’s word, as all Bible believing Christians claim to do. But please be aware that all of us are influenced by outside sources such as personal experiences, sins, secular and pastoral authors, teachers, etc. Not one of us, as thinking human beings, can claim to read the Bible without relying on past knowledge. This is why Paul tells in Romans to “renew your mind.” We are not tabula rasa or blank slates. When we read the Bible we interpret it according to our presuppositions.
As for what the early church believed…I’m pretty sure I’ve dealt with that several times on this forum. If you want I’ll hunt up the post for you but in essence, the early church in Asia Minor (that’s where the Premil writings came from) were Premil. Not Dispensational Premil, but Premil, it wasn’t the universal church but a small group of churches. That can be demonstrated. One father, Tertullian I believe, even mentions that “good” Christians disagree with his Premil view and it should be noted that Premil was rejected for 1500 years by the church. This doesn't mean we just accept what the church has done but it should cause you to pause and ask, "why did they reject the view?" Maybe even look at the debates... It is also important to note that Historic Premil is covenantal and not dispensational, which means, they did not break up the Bible into the “Jew and Gentile” like Dispey’s do today but viewed Bible prophecy covenantally.
Yours in the Lord,
