How do you know when you've received it?

Mostly everybody on this site believes that they are either, speaking by the Holy Spirit, or had a vision, or have requested wisdom and received it. And then, they go forth and start professing their own understanding and imaginations.
Again, if I were to pray for wisdom, at what point can either myself or someone else, feel confident that what I'm saying is derived from an endowment of God, and again, not just my own intellect?

Good post, GISMYS. If we could have this automatically posted every 3rd or 4th post on public threads, it might actually have an impact, LoL.

Titus 3:9-11 (KJV) 9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
2 Timothy 2:23
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

Did you pray for insight before you wrote this?

So why do you keep citing scripture, on a thread that is about how to expound on scripture?
Everyone believes that they've prayed and received wisdom, and thus, offer their views. I'm sure that you've heard the testimonies.
Can you provide a qualifier in order to differentiate when one has had a personal revelation, as opposed to a divine one?
Or, where you just stating the obvious, as in, 'think before you speak', or 'pray before you impart'?

Yes, I would think. Of course, that becomes subjective too, as each may have a different interpretation. But, may the better-versed ....and the wisest, prove the other wrong.

But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. New Living Translation. Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, "Let the children come to me.

LOL!! Today I saw a post here saying ALL babies are from hell!!! ===Total trash idea from hell!!!

I saw that one, too. Didn't even bother to look.

I don't think even Hell would go so far as to make that one up. They were probably really stumped by it too, LoL.
