The problem is I think we all think God speaks to us and we have the truth....I see what you mean though..do you mean they use this verse to support their own doctrine?
And NO...I’m not referring to Epi here.
1 Corinthians 2:12-14
King James Version
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned

So to use this as a reason people do not agree with you is nonsensical. and in my view kind of hypocritical.. What makes us think we are right?
