Not just Christians. People in general take a lot of pride in having secret information.
It's one of the reasons conspiracy theories are so popular.

But I point out Christians because so often it's one person, whereas conspiracy theories usually means joining a group that think the same way, usually with no clear starting person.
With Christians doing this it's much more commonly one person with no backers. So it therefore promotes more elevation of self. "See what 'I' figured out/God reveled only to 'me' that thousands of others never saw/God didn't show to".
