Say one is 26, has been a Christian for 4.5 years and married for less than a year with a newborn baby. Assuming they meet all other requirements for eldership, would you say it’s possible for them to meet the requirements below? Please explain. Thanks!
1 Timothy 3:4–6 (CSB): He must manage his own household competently and have his children under control with all dignity. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of God’s church?) He must not be a new convert, or he might become conceited and incur the same condemnation as the devil.
