Which is how, when peolpe saw them directly, they didn't automatically accept them. IOW Christ never made himself known independently, but did so in conjunction with Gods Spirit at all times. Christ was made known to everyone through spiritual revelation, yes.
You've brought a Gospel understanding into it which simply isn't supported by Paul's letters. As you know, Paul is oblivious to Christ's life, teachings, miracles and parables. Therefore to say Paul is saying Christ's 'physical actions' as described in the Gospels were 'spiritual works' just doesn't.. work!
