I remember reading this D&C verse:

Quote:

D&C 46:13 To some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that he was crucified for the sins of the world.

14 To others it is given to believe on their words, that they also might have eternal life if they continue faithful.

I find that an interesting teaching and I ponder if often why different gifts of the spirit are given to different people. But it seems to work that way, and how one person receives revelation does not mean all will receive it the same way. It takes faith.

You could take it a step further. Note how it’s not presented as an either, or proposition. It doesn’t say to some it is given by the holy ghost to know that Jesus is the son of god, to all others it is given to believe on their words. There may be people that are given both, there may be people that are given neither.
