Never had one of those myself. Only happened the once.
Remarkably, not far from the truth. Ultimately, GOD does all the work (on the cross, in drawing a person and enlightening him/her) - unmerited grace!
All I ever do is encourage people to at least read the Holy Bible because they are not simply words or a book (as they may appear to many), but living word through which the Almighty saves, and also pray in humility.
