Please help me understand the difference. Which beliefs are not kefirah,
apiqursus or meenus and yet are assur? I'm used to thinking that these
three issurim covered all of the dinim of belief.

(Notice I shifted from describing the gavra ("heretic") to a discussion
of the "cheftzah" of the belief ("kefirah, apiqursus or meenus"). Not
everyone who believes in kefirah is a kofeir. So as to avoid that issue,
I switched the terminology to one that discusses the belief itself.)
