It is possible because there are Christians who don't believe in Biblical inerrancy.
Many people do treat their religion as a pick and choose what benefits them type of thing. I understand that you think Christians shouldn't do this, but that doesn't change the fact that many do.
Some religions even encourage this. Shintoists don't actually have to believe in any of the spiritual aspects of the religion to be members of the religion. Participation in certain rituals is enough.
