Just another question...is there a time frame for denial or acceptance?
In the sense that may be initially the person might accept something may be due to society and social protocol but later deny it when he/she feels that he/she has a valid reason for denial.

Is this sort of behavior acceptable..that is you first accept..then deny or
initially deny then accept or remain agnostic.

Kindly advise please.

Simple answer to your first question: No.

If at all you accept or deny when you have not developed into a mature adult that does not count. A change in that position cannot be considered as a change since your own mind did not have analytic capability then. If you go to the temple as a normal routine when your were living with your parents and then later on when you are on your own you decide not to go to temples you may have superficially changed but it is not a change because only as an adult you are taking a stance. So long as you are truthful to yourself (not an AshAdabudhi) it does not reflect a flip-flop.
