I tend to think that, if 'Christian' is going to be a useful term, it needs to be limited to those who believe the contents of the Apostles Creed. Otherwise, it'll just go the way of gentleman, which used to mean something specific, but now just means 'nice guy'. I'm not judging anyone here; "I do not even judge myself". But I do think we should try to keep words useful. Note that the AC doesn't say anything about scripture being inerrant.
