When you really dig in..it's an interesting question...because none of those converts are actually claiming to have met the person of "jesus" any more than "paul" claimed to have done so. One wonders what a vision of christ is supposed to have to do with whether or not there was a historical jesus. Not just today, but even in the foundation of christian belief as we know it.
That people report mystical experiences in line with their cultural and religious norms is common (despite the poster having been unaware)..and it;s equally uncommon to find a person who has a mystical experience of a cultural or religious figure entirely unknown to them. Those people are the people screaming about the great god Bob Dixum...whom no one has ever heard of. Not only do we realize that those people are nutters (and by we I mean the a/ir and religious), we don't contend or question whether or not theirs was the historical Bob, or even that there ever was one.
