True believer has nothing to do with it. The Southern Baptist Convention used to have the best language about what scripture is: "Perfect for it's purpose." For teaching, church governance, imagination, exhortation, and reflection...the scripture is God's word, and we need not doubt it.
The most well meaning of people have pushed scriptural innerrancy, but they've caused the bible to be put under more stress than anyone. there's nothing erstaz about not being a biblical innerantist. A solid wing of the SBC is not, nor is it a requirement of being evangelic.
Why feel the need to supply this viewpoint, and label it as truth, when you don't subscribe?
