I should caveat that the vast majority of these people weren't trying to change the world, certainly not starting their own cult. My mum will tell you absolutely earnestly about the time she got a vision that stopped her losing her car keys at the beach.Perhaps. The belief is that it certainly can happen--look all throughout the old testament for those stories. But that generally it does not happen in that form. We believe God generally reserves those for his prophets. Chad is NOT one of those prophets!
I do have experiences with other people, some family, who believe they are getting end times stuff straight from God... And there are mental health issues there, for sure. And they have been told by bishops gently that their beliefs are not supported by church doctrine. But mental illness and conspiracy theories are winning out in their cases. But even they aren't murdering anyone because of them.
