    How is this different from philosophy.stackexchange.com/q/111268/73554? Since I do empathize with having unanswered questions in your head though, allow me to say that any answers to your question will result in the same kind of stalemate you complain about. Can you truly, absolutely, certainly justify anything? Perhaps not. But this includes your belief that God can be grounded by (which is just another way of saying justified by) personal experience

  • @Mikhail this question is not about intersubjective consensus.

  • @Mikhail The scope in that one is broader, and this question also includes a contrast between experience and philosophical argumentation the other question lacks.

    This is an interesting question which maybe should be reformulated. Clearly it is conceivable for one way to get closer from god to be preferable over the other. The interesting part, which has not been addressed yet, is the dialectic of those two points of view as it took place in the history of christianism (and likely many other religions). See for example Fides et ratio or the controversy between Przywara and Karl Barth. Maybe I'll write an answer, but I fear the scope of the question is a bit wide as is.
