So right on -- miracles, signs & wonders can convert no one. It takes the penetrating Word of God to change a heart. Then may follow some wonderful experiences in God's presence.

Folks out in the real world un-mangled by Harvard and other theological centers of UN'truth' know quite well from hard experience the realities of demonic forces etc.
They are not interested in theological discussions. They want to know if GOD IS REALLY GOD AND IF HE WILL MAKE A TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES.
Miracles drew folks to Christ in His earthly ministry and gave him much more of an opportunity and open doors and open hearts to draw them deeply into Himself.
The same is true today.
A false dichotomy is nonsense.
JESUS THE RISEN LORD IS A MIRACLE WORKING GOD.
"THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW . . . "
WHO?
"THEM THAT BELIEVE."
There may be some justification to question one's belief is such signs have never followed.
