Testimonies are nice and can even be an inspiration (if they are true), but they are also inherently subjective. In other words, they are hard, if not impossible, to prove objectively, unless incontrovertible proof exists. Don’t allow testimonies, uplifting as they may be, to get in the way of biblical methods of testing. Don’t rely on testimonies to shape your belief system. Just as you would test a cake to see if it is done by manually inserting a toothpick, instead of relying on the good smell of the cake and the feelings you get from it’s aroma, don’t use subjective methods to test stories–use the objective Word of God.
