kenh: He will then, with the use of the Second Comforter, become our personal tutor to prepare us for us to be made perfect.
This brings up an interesting question. Once we have our C&E, does our knowledge increase? Is this one way of identifying those with their C&E sure? It is very possible for people to acquire great knowledge on their own, but the knowledge obtained from angels sent to tutor us has a different quality to it.
Joseph Smith had only a 3rd grade formal education, though it is clear his family continued his education, especially in matters of the gospel. But his knowledge in later years came from angels who visited him frequently.
Yet no matter our source of knowledge, God waits for us to ask the question before we are told the answers. Thus it behooves us to question anything which does not make sense, as well as many of those which do. Additionally, we should ask how each gospel principle applies to our life.
