YOU have the written word. Praise God. But you cannot interpret it without experiencing HIM as the Spirit of truth.

But there's reason to have a problem with charismatic experiences that are at best tangenitally (i.e. tenuously, barely) related to the word of God. Like letting a chicken run through a room where water is boiling, and then calling it chicken soup; aahhh, not really. But thanks anyway.

Those are the exception. And the exception is not the rule. Rather, the exception proves the rule. Which means we still need to experience the Spirit. BTW, the Spirit is a Person, not a force that cooks chickens. Experiencing God's Power means experiencing his Person--his character, his likes and dislikes. Keep that in mind and you'll do fine.
