More proofless testimonial mumbo jumbo. Testimonies aren't evidence of the existence of a divine entity. Testimony is based on experience and someone's experiences are personal and unverifiable.

That's unimportant, eye witness accounts are untestable and only provable to the person who experienced them. It's an emotive opinion that testimonies 'prove' the existence of a deity. |

If you listen to his testimony he tell us that his testimony is only good for him.
He doesn't expect anybody to become a Christian because they listen to his testimony. He tells us that he shares his testimony so people hear about this Almighty God, Jesus Christ. |

I never understood what personal testimony does except entertain people who already hold the same belief. Churches routinely have testimony time, etc. for that very reason correct?

I don't know about churches having testimony time... but as far as why they do it if they do, I guess it would be for entertainment. It would be entertaining to hear about how the creator of the universe is interacting with his creations.

So do you believers take his testimony, his eyewitness account as being true?

I would see it more as a reason to seek God than a reason to believe in God. You can't know if it's true, but I'd hate for it to be true and miss out on living for what I was created for.
