I find this to be an inescapable trap for those who 'believe'. If they question their thinking, they are being tempted in the manner they believe is described in Revalations. If they do not question their thinking, well, then they just don't question their thinking.
What say you?

There is no effective argument, save the biblical injunction about proving prophets, but even this few Christians will accept.
The only thing to gently remind one of is that a personal prophecy may not be applied to another; I've found that this can defuse--sometimes--a situation where argument is iminent, to say, "that is good that you have that assurance for your life", validating their feelings, yet not accepting them, either.

If a Christian does not question their beliefs and examine them according to the Bible then they are not much of a Christian. They are more of a Religionist. Seek for truth as if it were buried treasure.

Thinking is only one part of myself.
I have feeling, I have experiencing, I have thinking, I have testing, relizing etc. ability.
So I dont limit myself such only questioning my thinking.

I say: It is not necessary to question our thinking if we have the mind of Christ.
1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 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.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receives not (or does not receive) the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know (or understand) them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Having the mind of Christ means that we do not have to guess at the answer, Christ has manifested and revealed to our minds, and we have the capacity (as even you do, whether you want to acknowledge it or not) to recognize fact from fiction, reality from imagination and sincerity from temptation.
Therefore our yeas (yes) is yes and our nay (no) is no: not because of the content of the "Book of the Revelation", but because of the Divine Revelation, that comes directly from God.
Please do not refer to my comments as "arrogance" and do not imply that I am attempting to force my belief on you or any one. If anything "Sounds like prophecy to you" may I suggest you rethink the questions in your own mind, in the light of the prophecy that has been revealed to you.
