"Sudden conversion might be good for morale and motivation, but the emotional instability and lack of knowledge of the sudden convert endangers the continuity of a group," Alan F. Segal wrote in his study, "Paul the Convert: The Apostolate and Apostasy of Saul the Pharisee." "Building a stable community necessarily involves a strong educational program. Even persons who themselves were sudden converts often attempt to socialize their children via gradual conversion processes."
That is the biggest issue I have with newly converted people. The enthusiasm and desire to learn is tremendous...and very infectious. But sometimes I find that the depth of understanding is lacking. Fortunately, the majority are humble enough to listen. Also, fortunately, the problem is usually self-correcting.
So, it sounds like you need both for a fuller understanding and expression of faith.
