the rest of your argument had good points, but it was built on a faulty premise.
Either an arbitrary 3 yr probationary period is Biblical or not Biblical.
So a person, under the power of the Holy Ghost, can't prove to not be a novice, in let's say, 2.5 years?
We would do better to set that 3 yr probationary period as something that is our own custom than to try to tie God directly to it.
There is nothing wrong with having this 3 yr probationary standard (or any standard) as long as we are clear that this is indeed a man-made standard, not something God ordained.
The Amish do it this way. We could learn from the Amish.
We don't need to add any thing else to God's Word. This is how satan was able to deceive Eve, when she added to God's Word.
