You know, assuming this was an evangelistic encounter, the testimony should have been focused on Jesus, and what he has done on the Cross.
If your focus isn't on this, but is on some weird story, then you are talking about the wrong thing anyways.
Testimonies are subjective and prove nothing. The Word of God is the foundation of truth. If you reason with someone from Scripture, then you're talking about solid ground.
Anytime I'm talking to a man, he might be lying. Therefore, anything he says is subject to doubt. If he tells an outlandish story, that is meaningless. Speaking the word of God is a different story.
I'll give you an example. Someone told me a story about how they met God in a vision, and this led to his conversion. Then, later on, he related information about other accounts that were not accurate to the truth. These were details I knew about. Now, I cannot help but think he may have been lying all along about his vision. I want to believe the guy, but now I cannot believe him. This is one of the few circumstances that I believed claims about visions. He is a friend of mine, and I like him, and am sadly disappointed about it. But such is the reality of people claiming visions that they may or may not have had.

My statement is a no brainer.
ANYONE you talk to or listen to long enough will take you someplace you disagree.
So you either ditch them or spit out the seeds and enjoy the watermellon.
I was witnessing to a Chinese lady the other day.
She was close to conversion and was interested. She said "I need to master the bible before I make a decision."
The Holy Spirit replied through me "you are owning this jeep right"?
Right"
You can't take apart the engine or transmission or know all about their workings right?
Right
The same with salvation. You do not have to know every dynamic of God to be saved.
You still enjoy your jeep without the knowledge.
I told her I got saved not knowing a thing about God and never regretted it
