Elder Dallin H. Oaks taught: “The obtaining of faith by signs was not God’s way, because ‘faith cometh not by signs, but signs follow those that believe.’ … The viewing of signs or miracles is not a secure foundation for conversion. Scriptural history attests that people converted by signs and wonders soon forget them and again become susceptible to the lies and distortions of Satan and his servants (Hel. 16:23; 3 Ne. 1:22; 2:1; 8:4.)” (The Lord’s Way, 82–87).
