If you hear voices and you firmly believe / act on the things they tell you then perhaps it's going to raise some red flags.
That's just my opinion on it from my observations, not scholarly or anything.

You know this reminds me of the first rank symptoms which they got rid of in the DSM 5...supposedly if you had any of these you automatically had schizophrenia---I just don't think there are any clear cut lines because everybody's experience is so different...of course I also had a few so I'm glad they got rid of them.
