For arguments sake, suppose you are correct in what you're saying, how would you go about a background check? You have a language barrier. Suppose you use a Chinese speaking brother to translate your questions. Would the answers be forthcoming? Would the translater be willing to translate the answer? This is more a recent example than historical. Much more than this, don't lose sight we're speaking of brothers. Unless there is a Biblical reason to refuse a brother, he should be received. That does not mean there should be unquestioned latitude given.
Regardless cuplability is shared. Even now as it was then.
