If my Muslim friend says he had a vision of Allah, is he lying? There's nothing less believable about him than you. And if he isn't lying, then how can you have a vision of your God and him have a vision of his? It means that if there is something (notice the 'if'), it's not Yaheweh or Allah.
Sorry, I have missed your posts.
People could have a vision that is a real vision, but the spirit that is responsible for the vision does not necessarily define God. The Bible describes many different spirits that go forth and reveal different things to people, such as Pharoah's sorcerers and people who tell fortunes. It does not say that these spirits are imagined or that people don't have the experiences, it simply says that the spirits are not from God.
Also the Bible says that some spirits are more evil than others. Because spirits do not come from God, does not mean that everything that they say is false. I believe the different religions of the world are different spirits that have gone into the world and revealed similar things to Christianity and they are intact because they are related to the blessings of God.
