WLC is talking about how one subjectively knows God (through the witness of the Holy Spirit), not what should be used as an argument or appealed to as evidence.

That entire chapter is in Part One: De Fide. Craig doesn't begin the apologetics until Part Three: De Deo, when he launches into the ontological argument and others.
If he simply wants to assert that subjective experience is enough to justify god i have no problem with that. Once you start making direct claims about another group of people though you need to be able to justify them, and, IMO, he cannot do that at all.
