How is the concept of validating one's beliefs through personal experiences reconciled with the principle of not putting God to the test?

Some Christians find it essential to validate their beliefs through personal experiences, as discussed in [*How crucial is it for Christians to 'gain a testimony' validating the truth of their beliefs?*](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/q/99578/61679) . However, there are those who consider this approach objectionable, viewing it as a form of testing God. As one commenter said : > Seeking the type of testimony you describe is a form of putting God to the test. It is antithetical to the faith that saves. This faith is a gift from God as Scripture says. But we are all responsible for whether we believe the truth or reject it. So seeking the type of “testimony” you describe runs counter to what the Bible teaches. As for the other types of testimonies (about specific teachings), the Bible is all we need. Anything that runs counter to it is false no matter what feelings or signs you receive. Demons can grant feelings and work signs to mislead those who reject God’s Word. How is the pursuit of confirmatory experience reconciled with the principle of not putting God to the test? --- As for the biblical basis for not putting God to the test, although not suggested explicitly by the commenter, there is a question already on the site suggesting a few relevant passages: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/q/9090/61679 --- A question that is closely related to this discussion is [Is Christianity testable?](https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/q/105659/66156) , as well as https://christianity.stackexchange.com/q/97877/61679
