That's absurd. Would you say someone after making cash on a single stock deal knows enough to advise people on their investments? Certainly not, and salvation is a lot more important than investments. Folks new to the faith may be enthusiastic but may well preach things that are well outside Christianity.

True, but I wasn't talking about teaching a Sunday School class, I was talking about witnessing the faith to others. Since we believe that the basics of faith are simple enough for a child to understand, AND we don't have the additional complexity of formal Tradition, we think it is fine for newbies to go tell what they know, to give a reason for their faiths. THAT is Biblical, isn't it? :)

That's exactly what I'm talking about. There is nothing worse for the faith than someone with ancillary knowledge of it, reading a book, misinterpreting the context, and pursading other's to follow their misinterpretations.
