And because the word has become so polluted by so many abuses, some within the church are turned off by the term. But with all that said, the fact remains that there is simply not a better term to refer to that mysterious spiritual encounter of Spirit with spirit. It has all the classic characteristics of mysticism. It is knowledge derived through experience. Since the word 'mysticism' can mean many things to many people, we must qualify which mysticism we are talking about.
Biblical mysticism is mysticism as it is portrayed in the Bible.
If an experience is not in accordance with the Scriptures, then it is not Biblical mysticism. It is a very dangerous thing to disconnect one's faith, practice, or experience from the rock of God's word. The Only Way Biblical mysticism limits true mystical experiences to the Christian. Only a true Christian can experience union and communion with God. The only way to get access to God is through Jesus Christ.
