Aren't there any AFF Christians who believe "No harm" in the common, literal sense?

Does the above apply for the whole Bible, or just parts of it?

If "No, just some parts," who decides which are literal and which not?

OR if "Yes, all parts," then does it follow that all believers may interpret the words in whatever way suits them?

And how would you define "believer?" Do they have to believe any of the bible stories literally happened? If they do, why?
