It seems to have elements of Paul's Damascus Road experience and some of Martin Luther's conversion experience. The other evidence of genuineness are the direct scriptural support and evidence of repentance and change with decades of working out your salvation. My experiences not so stark but of a change in long-term growth. Either method is Scripturally supported and I know of nothing disqualifying. Far be it from me to suggest God is limited without Biblical justification.

(also here from Reddit) That these events 1) contradict each other and 2) don't happen to everyone implies that they should be taken with a serious grain of salt. (1) shows that they cannot all be true, so we must discern which are false. (2) disproves God's existence, since if God existed then he would want a relationship with everyone and would thus reveal himself to everyone [see http://infidels.org/library/modern/john_schellenberg/hidden.html].Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981233431439720135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963871019205990191.post-89734703297906670692013-08-07T11:15:29.682-07:002013-08-07T11:15:29.682-07:00Same here, you linked me to the story but I see it...Same here, you linked me to the story but I see it as a hallucination. As I replied to you on reddit, "Unfortunately those kind of events you describe are a dime a dozen when talking to people of all religions and all seem to prove something they want to believe in or reinforce something they already believe...<br />If that was my standard of evidence, I'd be pretty gullible. I mean, why not believe the followers of Islam, or Judaism, or Mormonism, or Scientology, who all have people with the same kinds of experiences and claim their experiences verify the "truth" they have discovered?"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263253839907205222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963871019205990191.post-30607182463693764452011-08-27T07:40:48.995-07:002011-08-27T07:40:48.995-07:00Thanks for this, you linked me here from Reddit. ...Thanks for this, you linked me here from Reddit. <br /><br />Very interesting story, and I commend you for your faith, but I am not ready to make a leap of faith. I'm looking for a logical progression into faith, not a divine experience similar to yours. We all must find our way.Rexxthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788759329998728748noreply@blogger.com
