Nope.
Look around you.
"Miracles" don't happen, yet there are millions of people across the face of this planet who have unjustified "faith" in undefined entities... and even try to get others to believe the same (to use the word "convince" isn't exactly appropriate, since all they can do is -tell- other people to believe).
But then again, as a die-hard Nihilist... nothing is miraculous to me.
I'm so far past the other side of athiesm that it could start raining fireballs from the sky .... or blue vines could start sprouting up at speed through the pavement and entangle the buildings... or everyone else could turn into frogs.... and I would pretty much take it in stride (and still be 100% sure that no god was causing it).

The miracle is that you have any faith at all. But to answer your question: No. Miracle based faith is no faith at all. The definition of faith is things hoped for, but not seen. Hebrews chapter 11 is the great faith chapter of the Bible and it is well worth reading in order to understand what faith is and is not.

We all received the Lord Jesus Christ by faith. I believe and experience for myself that my faith is reinforced by the operation of spiritual gifts in my life that bring forth the working power of God and miracles.

I dont think faith needs anything else other than the brain.
Thats why God made us different from the animals. we think.
the miracles happened lots of years ago to just give religion a good start. but then there's technology n people think alot more. the brain can work out itself what makes sense n what doesn't.

No
There were specific purpose to it, 1900 years ago, in establishing that Christians were the new People of God or New Israelites, as the old Israelites no longer had his blessings. This was evident when the great curtain covering the most holy of the temple tore open to reveal it for all to see.

Na, Miracles are just parlor tricks. Real faith comes from knowing yourself and believing in your ability to do good in the world.

Sathya Sai Baba say, " Miracles are my visiting cards ".
Probably Miracles should be given the importance we give to the Visiting Cards, probably for Identification

Naturally, we humans want to see some sign that our faith is paying off, but Jesus said, "blessed are those who believe and have not seen".
