"First of all - you should disregard unusual personal experiences if you don't know of any way to repeat them."
I disagree. Experiences are not always under your control and therefore you can't always repeat them even if they are true. This is true in relationships with other humans and it seems likely that it would also be true with a personal god.
Let's say your girlfriend does something nice for you and you feel like you love her for it. Let's say she then dumps you for hottie that doesn't even know how to code and never talks to you again. You can't repeat that experience with her because her free choice made it possible. That doesn't mean that the experience was fake, it just means that it is outside of your control.
I'm sure there are some wholes in that logic, but hopefully it was able to shed some extra light on the subject.
