True, but I wasn't talking about teaching a Sunday School class, I was talking about witnessing the faith to others.

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.

I totally agree. That sounds very bad. I have counseled new believers (anyone, really) to never be afraid to answer a question with "I don't know, but I will get you the answer". That's SOP.
