I think very few people will deny they saw a burning bush and heard a voice. Lots of people will question whether this was God. They will ask whether they themselves were projecting the idea of God onto whatever experience they were having.
If the self was doing it, the act of thinking the burning bush was an act of God, is sinful. The result is the dreadful realization that belief in God may itself be a sinful act.
To believe or not to believe? Both can be sinful. What should we do? Can we avoid the choice? If we choose, is it an act of will? If it is an act of will, is it an act of Self hence sinful? Lord save us.
