Yes, those stories are beautiful, and I have no doubt that God is at work in their lives, but we need to weigh everthing against what the Word of God actually says.
I love an inspiring delightful story, but it is dangerous if I confuse that with the actual Word of God.
Saul of Tarsus no doubt had Divinely-inspired visions of heaven, but did not claim to actually meet God face-to-face.
I'm not trying to throw cold water on this, I just think we need to be cautious as to what we consider the actual words of God Himself.
Aside from that little episode on the road to Damascus, you mean.
“Saul of Tarsus no doubt had Divinely-inspired visions of heaven, but did not claim to actually meet God face-to-face.”
Corinthians 15
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you— unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, HE APPEARED ALSO TO ME.
