is there such a thing as a 'Baptist Eschatology" Church statement of belief?

Is it required to have a position of pritrib premil, or premil at all even in order to be a Baptist church?

It cannot be, because one of the Baptist distinctives is the autonomy (under Christ) of each local church. Among Baptists/Baptist church, there is a wide variety of eschatological positions - pre-mil, amil, etc.

The command is to believe God. The Bible does not entitle us to take or hold positions.

Agreed, just seems though that many Baptists seem to equate must hold a prettrib premil view

I don't know what the numbers are, but I do know the most of the Baptists I am acquainted with personally are amil.

Well, I guess we cannot take or hold a position on the Trinity - since the Bible does not mention Trinity
