Is Devise's :authenticate_user! the same as :signed_in_user?

This is from the Rails Tutorial Book:

http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ 

  before_filter :signed_in_user, only: [:create, :destroy]


  def signed_in_user
    unless signed_in?
      store_location
      redirect_to signin_url, notice: "Please sign in."
    end
  end

  def signed_in?
    !current_user.nil?
  end

So the code is letting users create and destroy posts only if they are signed in.

I was wondering if doing this with Devise before_filter :authenticate_user!, only: [:create, :destroy]. Results in the same thing?

No it is not the same! You must use

before_filter :authenticate_user!, only: [:create, :destroy

in your case. Watch these videos for better understanding:
