One of my old class mates in colleges who was taking business
insurance with me. Scored extremely high in every test or exam.
However when we all got together to talk insurance he would just look
at us like we had 2 heads. I remember us looking at him didn't you
get like 99% on the last test. He would say "yeah but I don't know
what you are talking about" I remember think what is the point of
getting 99% on a test but yet not be able to talk about what you just
learnt. He eventually dropped out because he felt the material just
wasn't making sense to him. Some people who attend our churches and claim to be christian are like this as well. They score really well on the christian tests but when it comes to the piratical work or a discussion group the tank on them. Here is an example, one of my high school friends studied the bible a lot. He lead bible studies and heck even went to bible college to be a pastor. Then one day his wife left him and everything came out. Turns out all that head knowledge was not sinking into his daily life. I wont go into the details but lets just say he failed the practical and the open discussion group.

Jesus does not expect you to score perfect on everything, he knows you will not also be able to understand what every christians is saying either, but what he does expect you to do is try. He also expects you to at least be able to answer yes to this question: do you want a
personal relationship with Jesus and have live through you?.

Matthew 7:21-24 (NLT)
21 "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the
Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in
heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord!
Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and
performed many miracles in your name.' 23 But I will reply, 'I never
knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.'
24 "Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a
person who builds a house on solid rock
