Rather than becoming so concerned as to whether or not an experience is from God or not, it might be more appropriate to recognize we, as believers, when we are in fellowship with Him, are alive in the spirit.
Just as we might identify with physical conflict and intellectual debates, there is also a very real warfare in the spiritual domain.
I suspect too many of us behave like sheep,..stupidly blundering about out of habit, just not catching on to what he has provided for us in a very calm, clearly level-headed fashion, from love and patient perseverence.
Many become obsessed with the spectacular, when the most significant features in warfare might have no spectacular significance.
Salvation might be associated with an experience for some people, while for others the moment of salvation is purely a thought exercise of simple faith in Him.
Much truth in your comment, imho.
