Each person has an individual experience of Christ. Even Paul had a different experience to Peter, etc. Each of the disciples had a unique revelation about Christ than the others. This is why there are 4 gospels - each one sees Christ from a slightly different perspective.

Do the four gospels teach 4 different Christ's? Isn't it the same death, burial, and resurrection in all four? Gnosticism/mysticism teach a different gospel altogether. With a different gospel comes a different Jesus and with a different Jesus comes a different spirit (2 Corinthians 11:4)
Since you use wikipedia as an authority in your arguments, here is a snippet from their website;
"Gnosis refers to knowledge based on personal experience or perception.
In a religious context, gnosis is mystical or esoteric knowledge based on direct participation with the divine."
