Can "raise a point" and "make a point" mean the same thing generally?

English Language & Usage Asked by Noel Yap on October 4, 2021

I personally think "to raise a point" means "to mention some point of interest" while "to make a point" means "to state or demonstrate something of particular interest" but I’m in a conversation with someone insisting both mean the latter to them.

Which non-American English dialects (or possibly even regional American dialects) abide by this other person’s usage of those two idioms?
