No.Limberger responds:
You and your denomination (presumably, the Church of
England) have interpreted the bible in such a way to define
how you & your denomination define Christianity.  This is
no different from any other Christian denomination/sect
that does exactly the same thing.  While you may not
regard Jehovah's Witnesses to Christians, they do; and, in
all likelihood, they probably do not regard you as being
Christian.

The bottom line is simply this: what each individual chooses
to believe is up to each individual.  There are many paths
that anyone can choose to follow.  While one path may be
right for one, it may not be right for another.  Thus, someone
can be Christian and choose from a vast assortment of
denominations & sects to be part of, or the individual can
choose from any number of other religions, most of which
have their own internal denominations & sects.  An individual
may also choose to reject religion entirely, which is also a
valid path.
