NO "experience" (in evil) is needed to know and follow TRUTH! Jesus: "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." (Math 10:16) Paul: "I want you to be well versed, experts, wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil." (Rom 16:19)And all of us, as with unveiled face, because we continued to behold as in a mirror the glory (His Goodness Ex 33) of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever-increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another. (2Cor3:18) Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things, fix your minds on them,....and the God of peace will be with you. (Phil4:8,9)
