If someone receives a vision and directions from God and disobeys, could that person be forgiven for that sin if he repents in this life?
Providing the vision WAS from GOD, then why would you disobey?
It is VERY rare that God himself will give the direction, (as in face to face)

He calls Holy men as Prophets,
The Prophets then Teach the people in 2 different ways
