I don't understand Tex's approach.

Nobody is saying belief in Gospel principles doesn't ultimately require leaps of faith and spiritual witnesses. Without which, there is no faith.

However, Tex's approach appears to be, no question should be answered and the evangelical approach of crying and shouting "I Believe!" is all that is necessary.

And Tex doesn't appear to be very familiar with persons of color who might view the past racist views of leaders with a different light than he who was never excluded from full blessings and participation. It is interesting that one never cut off, can easily dismiss the misgivings of somebody struggling to reach the light.

There will become stopping points where one must choose to believe, choose not to believe, or choose to suspend determination pending further information.

In fact, those who do not look for rational arguments are likely to fall harder and faster, than those who simply live by a euphoric rush of Pentacostal emotion.
