There are a errors in your thinking my dear friend. Firstly, just because something is of natural origin does it mean it is not of God? Does not God use human means to reach others?
Secondly, are you saying that conversions can be not of God? Surely that is not true, for how can salvation which is by definition something given by God, be something that is not of God?
I believe the balancing point is that just because some experiences are natural, does not mean it is not of God. However since some experiences are natural, we have to be wise in differentiating between what is humanly induced and what is truly a God experience. A question though, even if some are humanly induced, might they not be of God since they would help increase a person's faith? Nevertheless you make a good point in saying that reliance on such experiences should not become the bedrock of proper christian faith.
