Not true. I have some personal convictions that are mine and mine alone, that God has talked to me about in prayer, but I don't share them with others, nor do I try to push them off on other people. Personal convictions are precisely what they sound like: personal. e.g., between me and God.
It can also mean that it is how I understand a particular scripture, and I acknowledge that others may interpret it differently, therefore my interpretation and subsequent practical application is a personal conviction.
