1 Timothy 1:13 speaks of Paul being a blasphemer in ignorance. So this is the strongest indicator that learning curves are allowed.
2 Peter 3:14-17, has Peter warning those who already have some understanding of what's going on. Peter then points out that Paul's wisdom was acquired from God. Peter goes on to say Paul writes his letters the same way, things which are difficult to understand. Keep in mind it is Peter who is writing these words. The same Peter who wanted to eat fat back with the Romans but also be a influence of his brethren being an elder in the church. Peter needed Paul, and Paul rose to the occasion to help a brother out. Not like the Industrial Church Complex thinks it should be done. With a foot rub, with lotion, and sweet calming words, to sooth over the mistake. But a good Apostolic talk to on how the cow ate the cabbage. It was elder to elder, not babe in Christ who didn't know any better. But seasoned ministry one who spent time with Christ. You got to give Peter this, his old pastor told him not to go the way of the Gentiles. He argues with God three time on how he never ate crawfish sauce piquante with a few links of gator boudin. He was at the meeting and even helped out Paul, Barnabas, with his testimony that he went into a Gentiles house, James thought it was so awesome that he proclaimed that the tabernacle of David which had fallen down was now restored with the entrance of the Romans into the church. Yet, it seems that Peter still had to figure out how all this worked. So, when he was in Galatia he still didn't work out all the bugs? Paul had to deal with him in front of all that all may fear. Calling people out on the carpet is for ministry by ministry. Not saints, that's just my opinion. Peter was afraid of the doctrine of the Roman Greeks be grafted into the domestic olive tree. No sin in that, and he had a brother available to help him land the plane. Everyone gets a little sideways, but there is always someone available to help straighten you out.
