Zechariah,

I don't judge scripture by my experience, but my beliefs are confirmed by seeing the power of God at work. 

What is the majority of the Bible but the testimony of individuals about their experiences with God? It was personal testimonies about encounters with Jesus and how their lives had been changed that drew crowds to Him to be healed and fed and to be willing to listen to His teaching. Rev. 12:11 speaks of believers overcoming Satan by a combination of two things: the power of the Blood and the word of their testimony. 

It was the Jewish leaders who relied on "the word only" who were in error while those who followed the Holy Spirit found the power of God and salvation. I can only tell you of my experience with God, how I have seen Him working and how He has blessed me. If you don't believe what others and I say, that is your choice. I only wish you wouldn't work so hard at avoiding the fresh blessings God wants to give you through our testimonies of His working.
