Pathfinder / Arcane Savant's Esoteric Magic

[JAF0]

I cannot seem to find a definitive answer to my question, so I will ask it here.

Can a Pathfinder Savant select a spell from another class spell list that appears on his own spell list at a higher level? For example, Greater Angelic Aspect appears on the Wizard list at 8th lvl. It appears on the Paladin spell list at 4th level. Can a Pathfinder savant take the spell from the paladin list and hence cast it as a 5th level spell?

So far, I've encountered table variation on this matter, just looking for a definitive answer or faq reference about such selections. Thanks.

Yes, they can, explicitly. That's the entire point of being able to choose a spell that appears on both class's spell lists.

Is there a faq, or a post by a developer or something definitive that I can show my gm to confirm this?

they generally only do FAQs when there is reason to question. Here:

If he could cast the spell using his base spellcasting class, the spell’s level does not increase.

as blahpers says, they explicitly describe the mechanics for adding spells that are already on your class list.
