If you are not so sure in your beliefs, I think you have to question everything. To me, the faster you come to grips with your belief or unbelief, the better. If questioning leads you to become a strong believer, you will be more comfortable with the commitment required. If it leads you down the path of unbelief, you will have wasted less time and energy.
I believe you just described what we call "the spirit of discernment."
