What is theology? Fundamentally, theology is the study of God. So then, every Christian should be a theologian, and even deeper, they should be robust theologians.
You may never pick up a systematic theology book or take a class in seminary and still have a robust, well-rounded view of God. That really is what systematic theology is and does. It takes what the Bible says about God in certain areas and brings it together so that you can have a well-rounded view of who God is, what He has done, and what He will do.
Every Christian can be a theologian because every Christian can study God’s Word for himself/herself. You don’t have to pick up a theology book. You don’t have to know every jot and title regarding soteriology. You can be a Christian who just studies God’s Word for yourself and learns about who God is.
To be a theologian is really to develop a well-rounded, robust view of who God is because of what He has revealed about Himself in His Word.
