I think it's fine to call it faith in sensory experience - I choose to use it as data.
The second is the stronger argument, IMO.
Actually, if the Rev made that argument to religious people, that would be a strong argument in favor of basic empiricism. You only get to God through empiricism.
Though that's probably a better argument for a Deist than a Methodist.
What else could you ever possibly use as data?
Things you imagine. Things you reasoned "a priori".
