William Schnoebelen had a broad occultic experience. He was a Wiccan witch, a high level Freemason, a Satanist priest, a Luciferean, and a member of a secretive inner cult within Mormonism (that was designed for witches whose powers become unstable).
He met Satan/Lucifer in person, being caught up into the Heavenlies, and brought to him to be marked in his forehead personally. When he was returned to the Earth, he came to himself in his backyard, and the grass beneath him was burned in a circle. (This is consistent with Don Juan's assertion that one of the Ancient Techniques involves using lightning for transportation.) As a visible proof of this experience, Bill Schnoebelen's hair turned white overnight.
He was also a blood-drinking vampire, with followers who willingly gave him their blood to drink.
When he had paid in his Satanist dues, a teller wrote on the cancelled cheque, that they were praying for his salvation. From then on, his powers became disrupted, and he realized that there was really a higher power than those he had been worshipping. Eventually, he received Jesus, and became saved.
There can be no doubt that he, and similar persons to himself (e.g. Doreen Irvine) had a lot of spiritual experience- but they do not seem to have any actual knowledge of what they were doing. This is like the differences between learning to ride in a car, or to drive a car, or to fix a car, or to build a car.
Whereas Christians generally know a lot less about their own religion, and its actual spiritual workings than even the Satanists and Witches they condemn as "Evil."
