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.

No, there is an in-between point in the prophetic world, when you communicate with other spirits and the spirits go back to you. They are not necessarily evil spirits, they are just spirits that are related to specific judgements that release wisdom in the world. They could be demons but the demons obey God. It sounds strange but I have experienced this a lot.

You reap what you sow. God gives wisdom to people in different ways. People sow spiritual seeds and the reap back spiritual fruit. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to them that know understanding

My point is that you're giving other religions credit for their claims by saying they can also interact with the spiritual world. Let me rephrase all of this differently: why should I even bother with Christianity if, according to you, I could be a e.g. Hindu and have a connection with the spiritual world?

Usually in Apologetics 101, you're meant to discredit every other religion and tell me that only you Christians have true experiences with God/the spiritual realm.
