Isn't that a false premise?

God does exist you feel Him when you become a Christian and the Holy Spirit shows you things from God.

Yes, that's a wrong premise. The right conclusion to your premise alone is "Therefore somebody who feels God exists" (assuming, heh, that you do exist yourself, and I'm not kidding here). To get your conclusion you need one more *true* premise (assuming that the first one is true also), namely
"If somebody feels God, then God exists".
And I really have no idea how you could prove this as true... I've felt - seen, that is - a Klingon once in a dream...

You are assuming that there is a proper premise to knowing god's existence. One could say they "see god" all around us. Or they "feel god" in their heart. Would hate to "smell god" especially after a good workout.
The premise of knowing with certainty is, by definition, false. The religious nature of god requires faith. However if you believe that god is all things and in all things (omnipresent) then "feeling" him is a given.

Of course it's a false premise, unless you can show that what you feel is in fact god rather than an artifact of some kind.

It could be a false premise, but it also could be an experiential premise. It could, if related to another individual also be Testimonial Evidence.

No not at all. Those who follow God knows He is there and that He exists. I have felt God's presence in my life for many years. He has blessed my life with many miracles.

No. You feel God, therefore You exist.
