How do we know private judgment is true in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Private judgment is affirmed in Scripture, calling believers to form their own convictions based on the Word of God.

The doctrine of private judgment is rooted in the belief that each believer has the right to interpret Scripture for themselves, guided by the Holy Spirit. This does not imply a law unto oneself but rather a conscious effort to discern truth from God's Word independently. It is essential to exercise this judgment humbly and with an openness to insights from other believers. The right to private judgment encourages believers to remain free from ecclesiastical authority that is not founded on Scripture, thus protecting their Christian liberty.
