A) is not well defined. I believe in the literal truth of the Bible but I believe it contains figurative language. Jesus is the Lamb of God, literally as Lamb pertains to sacrifice, figuratively in that He was not a four footed animal that goes baa.

B) is similarly vague because a parable is used to illustrate or teach a truth. Of course the Bible contains parable because Jesus says some of His teaching is in parables.

C) I haven't read it though I plan to. My understanding is that most scholars, theologians and church leaders do not regard them as inspired.

D) This isn't specified in the Bible. What is specified is that we are not to inquire who is going to heaven and who isn't.

As stated, one can be a Christian and have differing views on all four points.

Basic Christianity is contained in the Gospel (good news):

All people are sinners and guilty before God. God became incarnate in the Person of Jesus Christ. He lived a sinless life and thus qualified as "The Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world", He was crucified in order to make atonement for the sins of mankind, and was resurrected in a new body. People can receive the offered gift of forgiveness by repenting of their sins and trusting in Jesus for salvation.

The above has been stated many different ways, perhaps the one most accepted is the Apostle's Creed.
