On the Internet sometimes stories from Muslims who converted to Christianity because of miraculous events can be read. An example can be found at http://bibleprobe.com/zana-and-angel.htm

Here they tell about another story of the appearance of Jesus to an Islamic theologian, telling him he is not Allah, which they can't present though for legal reasons.

I have also seen some other stories before, but none of people who converted to Islam. (Of course there are "normal" conversion stories from both religions)

What do you think how these stories emerged? It also seems strange that say they can't present that one story because of legal reasons. At least they didn't make it up themselves then.

I see a few reasons for how these stories emerge:

1. These stories didn't happen and they are simply trying to find outlandish/sensational ways to convert people.

2. These stories really did happen.

3. The people involved truly believe these things to have happened to them.

4. A combination of two and three.

5. Other people find these stories, assume they are true because they back up their beliefs, and use them to inspire others to convert.

Personally, I believe number four. However, I can see how others could come to different conclusions.

We can stress, is it interpreted correctly ? If you see Jesus right now in front of you saying he is not Allah (is there another word for God in this language ?), does it mean that all the more or less crappy theology is true ? Jesus is not Allah even in the Koran. Many people have claimed to be in contact with Jesus, Mary, Buddha, Krishna aso... I have ever heard of testimonies saying that actually Jesus is not God. When it is OK with the theology, that's right otherwise that's Satan, it is written in the Bible he he

2Cr 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Looks crazy ? Normal...

1Cor 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
