If Christians use their personal experiences/revelation as evidence for their god, why can't Hindus/ Muslims/ Pagans/ Jews/ Mormons use their own personal experiences as evidences of their gods? Heck, why can't skeptics or non-theist use the lack of that personal experience to justify the non-existing of a certain god.
And while you’re at it, include a method by which to separate the con-men from the truly chosen, please.

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it.
Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held.
Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books.
Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin.
Believe nothing just because someone else believes it.
Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true
No one faith is true! The truth was given to various people over the millenniums and filtered through their culture and communicated in a way they could understand. I have been to many places around the world and each location seems to have it's own local "GODS" In Israel the god of Abraham, Jesus and Mohammed (same guy, different name) is powerful but go south a ways to Egypt and you can feel Seth, Bast, Thoth, Sekhmet, Osiris, Isis, Horus, Hathor, Aton, Anon etc. (aspects of the same god. different heads and bodies)
In Inja's sunny clime its Krishna, Rama, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva (aspects of the same god. different heads and bodies) Ditto for Greece and Italy (around the ancient ruins not heavy population areas) In the US there are places where the Great spirits of the Native Americans can be felt. Ditto Mayan, Aztec and Toltecs where they lived. On Hawaii it's Madame Pele.
The Buddhists got this right "Each seeker must find their own path"
I'm still working on it. Organized religions are pyramid scams only for the people on top who live off the rank and file. Respect the local gods when you travel but then find your own
“Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.”
“Belief is the death of intelligence. As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence.”
THE TEST
Those who truly know, DO NOT Immanentize the eschaton.

Scripture on my own is an blunders, no longer a conceivable answer. The Holy Ghost does not handbook each and each reader into certainty. that's the reason there are maximum of conflicting interpretations. Christ left in the back of His Church to steer and instruct and interpret His scriptures. basically one coaching authority became authorized by way of Christ. That one is His Holy Catholic Church.

Did anyone get attacked by a Demon durring the first Gulf war which stung them with the sting of a scorpion?
During the first Gulf war when the oil wells were lit on fire I was attacked by a Demon on three seperat occasions all at night. The third time this Demon attacked me I comanded it to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. This is when it happend. I was in my bedroom sleeping each time it occured and was awaken in a horrid way. When attacked the spirit inside me fought this Demon until I awoke and then made me take over. Have you ever fought against the dead, good luck you'll wish you never knew they exist. After I commanded it to leave the most amazing thing happend. I was brought into the presence of the Lord. By this I mean that the Holy spirit brought me into the Hallway outside my room and the Demon followed. As I stood there the Demon took his tail in one hand my hand in the other and placed his tail on top of my hand, It sent waves of fire through my soul. The pain was so sever I couldn't scream. All that I did is look straight up an say Father please help me. Then it left. true

Please don't lump all Christians in the same group. Because someone says they are a Christian, that doesn't make them one. The Bible says, "By their fruit we shall know them".
It's not so much if there talking the talk, but more important, if their wallking the walk.

There is no way. Follow your heart. If you think someone's scamming you, they may very well be.
