Let's say you have a dramatic experience of a divine loving spiritual presence. There is no reason to assume that you experienced Bible-God as opposed to Shiva or your spirit guide. Even if you have a vision of Jesus you should consider the possibility that you imposed your Christian expectations and saw Jesus where a Hindu might have seen Krishna.
It seems to me that spiritual experiences only move you from atheist to theist, but belief in the Bible is necessary to move you from theist to Christian.
So, why are you a Bible-believer? To a non-believer like me, the Bible is unremarkable. Yet Christians speaking of "getting into the Word" and so forth.
