Sorry Kav but I don't agree. Both the Bible and experience say different.
And before you poo-poo experience, just let me say that when the Bible says 'do this and you'll see that', then you do this and see that, that experience is totally in line with scripture and therefore valid.

Experience is not the validator of spiritual truth as taught today. Have a dream it is eveidence a person has the Holy Spirit, or have what some call a out of body experience as evidence of the Holy Spirit or a near death experience .
Jesus experienced what some call a out of body experience and was shown all the kingdoms, and the glory of them without moving an inch .Which was simply the father of lies brining in false wonders as lies . All there time Christ said; as it is written the experience of His fleshly mind went away .
We are warned of those things that go above that which is written. The Christians one source of faith by which they can hear God "not seen" by the faith of Christ, again as it iswritten .
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Mathew 4:2-10
One mediator, the written word of God between God and man. Not fallen angels who bring lying wonders and God sends a strong delusion so they can beleive the lie.
Colossians 2:18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind
