Obviously it depends upon the specific situation, but if I have received a divine illumination concerning a topic or passage of Scripture, I should not relinquish that understanding simply because someone else has a different perspective. The work is to see how it fits in with the illlumintion received by others. So the answer to your last question usually is yes, I am the one who is right, but not to the exclusion of that truthful aspect shared by another. Sometimes separating truth from fiction is like whittling on a piece of wood. Please keep in mind also that Revelation / Illumination and Biblical Interpretation are not mutually exclusive. Some people engage in both while others only engage in the latter. There are some, few, who engage only in the former.

I have answered your question, and am able to answer with many more words, but when you do not hear and understand the basics and choose to mock what few words I have shared already, the rest of the answer cannot be shared.
