David,

I think that is a pretty good summation. Christians of all stripes recognized that just saying "I believe" and truly believing are two separate things. The bottom line is that God can see what is in our hearts and he is the ultimate judge. This is why I find my Church's teaching (the Roman Catholic Church) to be the most reasonable on this subject. To claim to absolutely know the mind of an omniscient God is the height of arrogance in my opinion. Theologians try to make their best intepretation based on the signs which God has given us. But many things are are not easily figured out.
