This is how I came to believe in God without this, even worse, I've been raised in the occult.

I actually heard about a tribe of aborigines that looked in the sky and saw the face of Jesus, and immediately knew it was Him and repented. I know it seems unbelievable but I know that can happen. I don't what verse it is, but there is a verse that states, everyone on earth will get a chance to know God. He will show himself to them in some way or another if there is no way they would have a missionary or Bible come to them. God would never let anyone die without giving them a chance to find Him.

I have met missionaries who said they went into a remote village. The people in this village had never seen a Bible. They had never had anyone from the outside world, tell them about Jesus. Nevertheless, they worshiped God in the same manner as we do. They had the same standards and convictions we have. They may not have called him Jesus, but they were still worshiping the same God we do, in the same ways. They played music, danced and spoke in tongues. They dressed modestly, wore no jewelry (as did their neighboring tribes) and they were all monogamous. They were thrilled to have people come to them who were of like faith. Even more thrilled, were they, to have, read to them, the Bible. Hearing the word of God, as it confirmed there was a creator, who wanted them to live the way the do.

I believe that deep down inside man has the desire to believe in God...even those who say they don't. Not in a religious sense so much as in a sense of "where did I come from and why am I here?"
When I heard the call from God and opened my heart to him, I had heard about Him of course, but was not really knowledgable about Him. That can only come with a very personal 24/7 relationship with Him.
I realize that this does not truly answer your question, but it is the best I can do.

i know it can happen. however all i can say is yes i have heard of people who new there was a God. rather they were right about God or not they at least new there was a God or gods that created the earth.
Indians believe in many gods before they were shown the Bible. so there is a group right there. many others have too. the Bible even says we are without excuse for nature itself proves there is a God.

Yes, it had happened in ancient times right till our modern day. The only difference is they believed in the wrong god, not the God in the Bible, that's Jehovah God and His only-begotten Son, Jesus.

unless JESUS appears to you or through some special revelation like paul had,sometimes through a christian witness living not sure though.i am not sure if the criminal and roman jailor that got saved fall into this category .but mostly people are drawn by GOD to bible or some crusade,somewhere where u give your life to JESUS.
JESUS loves you.Have u recieved JESUS for the forgiveness of your sins?
John 3:16[kjv] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free. Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with the blood JESUS shed on the cross.
With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.JESUS loves u and wants u to be saved.

There is no evidence outside those gospels.
And who knows if they were even written by a sane person and not a drunkard.
Because if today, someone tells you that he talked to god everyday... they'll send him to mental hospital. And they didn't have mental hospitals back 3000 years ago...
Sooo, maybe that was just an insane person who came up with all these gospels.

Which god are you talking about? People worshiped Zeus long before any gospels came around.
