Do you want me to refer you to some of the testimonies?

Read "God's Smuggler," if you want some accounts of the miracles. It's an awesome book, and many of the people in it are still alive today. They'd protest at slander. The integrity of the people involved is undisputed. This is one example, but there are many others.

Once every person in the Frontline class I go to spoke about their born again experience. We went 'round the table also, learning about each others' spiritual gifts. Two people spoke about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as being like being struck by a lightning bolt. They fell onto the floor and couldn't move. My mother experienced "a light being turned on in her head". My father (a former atheist) asked for an angel to visit him within twenty four hours, and within twenty four hours a man showed up who spoke to him of nothing but the Lord. I myself endured spiritual attack for several months after I began seeking, and then the Lord spoke, and my life has changed.

You see, there are numerous eyewitness accounts. There are books written of these- you only have to look for them. Don't discount Christianity out of hand, but listen to what people have to say, if you're interested. I think you said before that you're not interested, though.
