This also assumes you ended up making the correct changes to your statements. You may have made some changes that were erroneous or were negligible regarding the content of the doctrine.
Finally, it's just two incidents so far, so even in the absence of contrary incidents, it is an extremely small sample of incidents to come to such a conclusion.
How many times does it have to happen? Also it's just a couple incidents combined with others. Most people would probably just say it was coincidence, but these experiences are not the only reason I believe in God, but rather part of the whole package.
But it's very probable you're employing confirmation bias in this regard and ignoring all evidence contrary to what you want to believe in.
You didn't even address how you know they were doctrinally correct changes to what you initially tried to submit. And it's not like this hasn't happened to me as an atheist when I try to submit a post the first time but fail. In a couple other forums, there were times I had to get rid of some smilies or reduce the number of words in order to get my post accepted. It doesn't mean God was involved.
