Absolutely.

"It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visionS and revelationS of the Lord."(2 Cor.12:1).

Paul did not receive a single revelation from the risen Christ, he received several revelations from Him. Which as he received, was given by him to believers and received from him.

"Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me."(1 Cor. 4:16). We are to follow Paul as he followed Christ. WHY?

"Howbeit, for this cause I obtained mercy, that IN ME FIRST Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a PATTERN to them which should HEREAFTER believe on him to life everlasting." (1 TIm. 1:16). Paul is our pattern to follow. As he followed Christ's revelationS concerning the dispensation of the grace of God and all that that incurred.

No one has argued against Paul receiving direct revelations from the Risen Christ. Just the unfounded claims Paul preached a different gospel.
