Does the Bible have Error?

[In regard to] the Bible, can you define the difference between ‘inerrancy’ and ‘infallibility’? Where do you stand on the issue?

My stance on this issue to basically summed up in a quote from Robert Reymond (a Reformed Presbyterian theologian):

“By ‘inerrancy’ we intend essentially the same thing as ‘infallibility,’ namely that the Bible does not err in any of it’s affirmations, whether those affirmations be in the spheres of spiritual realities or morals, history of science, and is therefore incapable of teaching error. Because the Bible is God’s Word, its assertions are as true as if God spoke to man today directly from heaven.”

According to some theologians, there are some subtle differences between these two characteristics, but essentially, I agree with the quote above.
