When Saul was converted he was visited by an Angel, not by Jesus Christ, or God.
There is a similar story in the Book of Mormon. Alma was the high priest of the Church, but his son, Alma the younger, was going around trying to lure people away from the Church. Through his father's faith and prayers, an angel visited Alma and after two days, he was converted.
Miracles can be the result of anothers faith, but faith does have to be present.

True. The Book of Mormon is True. Faith precedes all miracles.

False.
If you cannot see the effects of a phenomenon until you're already convinced that you *must* see them, then the phenomenon does not exist. It is rather a figment of a person's imagination.
The mind can make things seem real which are not.
