Ok, so if I say something like "I am the daughter of god"...?
... and I satrted preaching stuff, would you believe it? Say I hung out with David Blaine or Chris Angel a lot and I picked up a bunch of nifty tricks and used them on people... would I gain a following? Because apparently that's all it takes. Just wondering.
@Yiannis: "Christians understand that all forms of 'magic' or 'deception' are nonsense and they would avoid you like the plague. " Really? Is that why Jesus got away with it? Because his followers are so insightfull?

I'd have to tie you to a large piece of wood, give you a good nailing and then get a roman soldier to spear you with his weapon before I believed that.

Just yesterday at the bank I was asked if I or anybody in my immediate family were a diplomat or agent of a foreign country. I responded, none legally recognized by the United States. When asked for clarification I pointed out I was a a Child of the King and an ambassador for the Kingdom of God.
You seem to be assuming that because Christ did things that are/were unexplainable that magic of the supernatural was involved. Why would you jump to such a silly conclusion? Any sufficiently advanced technology will be seen by more primitive cultures as magic or supernatural - it is perfectly reasonable to assert the creator of the universe would have access to some pretty advanced technology! While mankind has indeed advanced quite a bit in the last several thousand years, apparently mankind has not yet advanced to the point they recognize the things Jesus did was not magic or supernatural but an application of natural laws we primitive humans do not yet understand.

All Christian females are "daughters of God", just as all males are "sons of God". There is no one female who is "the" daughter of God. No one is singled out as 'special' or 'chosen' - all believers are the same through God's eyes.
No Christian would believe your "nifty tricks" because Christians understand that all forms of 'magic' or 'deception' are nonsense and they would avoid you like the plague. You could probably try it out on atheists, though, if you just want an audience.

I don't see why not...
People throughout history are known, and show, that some will glom onto most anything and 'believe' in it with no more real evidence than they have 'faith and will believe the claims'...
They still exist today, just keep up the patter and make it sound like it's it's unique and make the followers feel special and 'chosen' in some way... some vague claimed miracles wouldn't hurt either...
Throw in some ancient book, and you're a shoe in...
IMHO

Nope, you would just deceive yourself further than you currently are...
bless you.
Just think about the following for a minute. When the world gets bad in the end there will be no electricity. This means no computers, no heat for many, no gas pumps, no transportation, no food at stores. So when this happens you/we will have to kill others for their food or kill animals for food.
The loss of electricity will put the world in ruin and if you do not take and kill you will die. Watch 'Eli' to get a picture of this. And this is just the loss of power. That leads to no transportation, no food because of no transportation, no farms no fuel for equipment. So if you can not kill and eat you will starve.
At first the stores will be raided and eventually empty, then people will killl others for their food and/or kill animals or die. Can you survive in such a world? and God will hide at this time, so seeking will do nothing. We have our chance now to find God, then it will be too late. So will you die?
take care.

Me? No.
Others? Yes.
ie. Johann of Arc. Amazing false reincarnation of Christ/prophet/what you will. Gained a massive following, as a woman. I think.

You may fool those who have no real understanding of the bible but you wouldn't keep them for long if that's all you got.

You'd have to prophecy world history accurately thousands of years in advance.
