His miracles testify of Him, and the miracles of the Church testify of Him and that they are His.

If you read the NT, you’ll notice that it wasn’t a miracle a minute, not even with Jesus, and not also after the day of Pentecost. But the signs followed them. And to those who were watching they opened their minds.

“Signs followed them” also doesn’t mean a miracle a minute, nor a bunch of Miracle Maxes. In fact, the words indicate targeted miracles.

So you are looking for a group of believers in Jesus that has targeted, documented miracles.

NT has many instances where the crowd "believed" after a miracle. That was the sole purpose of the miracle. As for the sings, the NT is in contradiction with itself because some claim there will be no signs while other claim there will be.

So you are looking for a group of believers in Jesus that has targeted, documented miracles.

"Documented" by anonymous writers...with no physical or other evidence of their occurrence or results. Taken on faith alone.

Again, Jesus healed the sick and did a quick water-into-wine trick as a proof of his divinity. It wouldn't work today. Resurrecting a putrefied body and moving Mt. Sinai might. That would out an end to all doubts real quick and the whole world would come to worship the God of Abraham instantly.
