Lots of eisegesis going on in your explanation of this verse. Check the original language and let me know where the emphasis is.
Remember, all one needs is ONE example to the contrary to prove this verse false - if your interpretation is accurate (and there are many counterexamples to this understanding). Whereas this alternate understanding (which lines up with the original language quite well) fits with other verses AND avoids those numerous examples of people being raised in the church and truth and then turning away.
The verse isnt an absolute either way. Theres just as many examples of someone getting their way their whole childhood who were able to grow up and realize the error of their ways and accepted Christ. This is an proverb. Its not a guarantee. So this aspect of your argument is completely null.
