you might want to crack a dictionary . . . you are looking for some slightly different words, ie, immaculate conception, and no, it's rather improbable, in fact about as likely as spontaneous combustion . . .

I think you mean Immaculate Conception. Spontaneous Combustion is when a human being BURSTS into flames from the inside out. There are examples of this having occurred over the last 100 plus years but no prove explanation as to how or why.
And no I have not heard of anyone other than Jesus being conceived by way of Immaculate Conception.

Many others pointed this out already, but you are clearly misguided as to how Christ was born and how to define spontaneous combustion.
Yes, I believe Christ was born of a virgin.
Regarding spontaneous combustion, I am not sure there really is such a thing. A fire may seem to start spontaneously, however, the factors that led up to the fire starting took place over time...a lot of time.
Sin is like spontaneous combustion in this sense...we think we don't deserve hell when in fact we spend our lives collecting fuel for the flames...murder, lust, cursing God, selfishness, etc. Christ took our punishment of sin so we would not need to suffer the eternal affects of hell's "spontaneous combustion."

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but spontaneous combustion is the ignition of a substance, such as oily rags or hay, caused by a localized heat-increasing reaction between the oxidant and the fuel and not involving addition of heat from an outside source. In other words, an explosion. Jesus never exploded in any Bible story that I ever read. And I can tell right now, without any shadow of a doubt, that no one was ever conceived by means of an explosion.

Spontaneous combustion means to burst into flames suddenly and without any external source of fire. So I'm afraid JC was not conceived that way.
You mean immaculate conception, which is the doctrine that Mary was a virgin (for after all, gods must be born of virgins), though she sure wasn't a virgin after god got through with her. Many other gods have allegedly been born of virgins; it's a common pagan belief.

Nobody was conceived by spontaneous combustion - not even Jesus. the question is a non sequitur.

spontaneous combustion is when a person bursts into flames and DIES. Not born without sex. And no, no one has been born from a virgin, although semen can get through the hyman even if not punctured.

They all mean Virgin Birth. The Immaculate Conception is a Catholic doctrine that states that Mary was concieved without sin. Many people make this mistake! (I am Protestant by the way and so don't necessarily believe in the immaculate conception)
