Thanks for introducing this subject, and for doing the Bible homework. I remain interested in any of your additional research.
I know you want Bible references on The Experience of Christ. While I'm not certain I doubt you'll find verses speaking explicitly of the experience of Christ.
I guess the first thing we need to determine is whether or not the early Christians, after the ascension, spoken of in Acts, were experiencing Christ. If so, there are your Bible references.
And also, if so, the Bible wasn't necessary for them to experience Christ. As there were no books on Christ written then.
And maybe you are not a moderator but if I'm leading your thread astray, please moderate me.
