Doubtful if any person who believes in God (the God of Abraham, at least) could think or "know" God told them to commit a wrong action. "Right" is action in accordance with this will, and "wrong" action against it.

More likely the offender would assume the human laws were wrong. 

I'm not a believer, but if God told me "Jump," I wouldn't ask "how high?"  I'd be in the air already.

Any person who believes in God should also know that God would not tell them to commit an action that would break HIS laws, too. You know, something like murdering someone else, for example.

But, also, if God asks you to break human law, He'd expect you to accept the consequences, as well.
