Woah, woah, hold on just a second! Are you literally saying all these different religions have experienced the spiritual world?? Let me guess then... if we were to categorise the nature of the experience it would be this:
Christianity: experience with God
every other religion: demonic possession, because you know... Christianity is the only true religion.
See, this is why testimonies are useless, because you can replace the religion that has "experienced God" with any other and find a believer of that religion that will confirm they have experienced their god.
