Baron, I am not saying this to be rude to you, but I really don't care what commentators have to say about much concerning the Bible. I never really have, and don't plan on starting now. The Bible says Paul
preached Jesus in the synagogues right after his conversion. It doesn't specify what he did for those three years in Arabia, so anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's. When someone starts preaching needs to be left between them, God, and their pastor because everyone is different. Some people mature faster than others and some stay a novice for a long time. Besides, a preacher does not equal being a bishop or a deacon, so the whole premise behind this thread is faulty to begin with. Some people have no business in pulpit ministry to begin with, but that's a topic for another thread.
