You're not a born-again spiritual grown up so give yourself some time.

Far too often we encounter the Born-again experience and then want to get out on the street and start preaching something we don't even know yet. I know we can't help ourselves I was one of those, and unless God gave you a download of the whole Bible with all the Revelation you need to turn the world upside down then you ought to wait until you have some understanding of what just happened to you. Otherwise, you'll spend the first part of your Christianity turning people away and the second part apologizing to them for doing so. And we don’t have enough time to make up time.

 A child is not born a doctor, they might have all the ingredients to be one, but there's a process that they have to go through in order to be a good one and that is that, they've got to learn something, and but not only learn it, they've got to apply it along the way, so they learn they apply, they learn they apply, you see that, that is how it goes.

 A child is not born a teacher, they might have all the ingredients, but they're going to have to go to school and learn the subjects that they want to teach on so they at least know more than the students that they are teaching. These days kids have access to knowledge same as a person going to college so you've got to know your stuff as a teacher in order to be able to educate them and take them to a higher level. And yes you will still have to deal with the kids that think that they know it all, same as was the case back when I attended school, except that it is worse today because while you are teaching, they can look up whatever you stated and will without hesitation call you out on it if you are even remotely off or misunderstood.
