“They worship what they know not.” - (Christ, to the women at the well, refering to common practices of ‘God worship’ both in his day, and probably in contemporary times.)

“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” -(Christ, to his followers, after the last supper.)

“I have much more to tell you, but you couldn’t bare it now.” - (Christ to his followers, after the last supper.)
 
I am mystified. What point are you trying to make? The first quote does not say that their worship is defective, but that they do not really understand God whom they worship.
 
You would have to read further than I qouted. Plus, if you don’t understand something, then how can you worship it correctly?

The Holy Spirit… let them know what they didn’t know.

The Holy Spirit showed them the truth.

The Holy Spirit allowed them to understand what they once couldn’t bear to understand.

After Pentecost, they way the apostles and disciples worshiped changed, so did the way they understood things.

Even post Jesus’ resurrection, they were not as wise and as brave as post Pentecost… there is actually another dimension that the Holy Spirit presents to us than what we learned from Confirmation… that is what is very interesting about Charismatics or Pentecostals.
