The claims of said 'experience' exist. When someone makes such a claim (My god speaks to me), there are three possibilities:
1. His god spoke to him.
2. He suffers from a delusion.
3. He's lying.
I certainly see no compelling reason to believe his claim. It is, by far, the least likely thing to be true.

And so is saying that they have all had actual personal experience of their god. There are only two other options, remember.
