No, Christians do not have to agree on every point of doctrine.
They can disagree on many aspects of scripture, but they must do so in love.
It is more important that Christians love one another than allow a differing viewpoint on scripture to divide them (CP Jn 13:34-35; 15:12-17; 1Cor 13:1-7).
We must however, be in unity regarding the fundamental truths upon which the Christian faith is founded, such as the virgin birth, the Deity of Jesus; that Jesus died as a ransom for sin and was resurrected for our justification; that we will live together with Him throughout eternity, etc (See also comments on Ro 15:5).
