You mean when someone else has a different illumination.

So the "perspectives" recieved from illumination can be different from one person to the other , perhaps depending on that persons needs and where she is in terms of maturity (?)

but apparently you do exclude the opinions or beliefs of others based upon what you consider to be "revealed (to you) truth. "   You believe that we are still under law and I do not.   I consider my point to be from God as surely as you do your opinion.    I see a dfference between prophetical revelation and providential revelation. And in that context,  especially providential illumination,   you and I can have two very different view points that Godcan use to bring both of us into the ssame relationship with Him.
