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

Well, even if you were rushed to the ER in time to save your life, it would probably still hurt.

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?

Maybe more of it than we realize ....

I tried to make the questions specific and fair. But, okay, ducks are useful I guess. .
