Miracles

Miracles happen everyday. Everytime someone comes to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, it is a work of the Holy Spirit in them. There is no greater miracle than that.
As a Christian your foundation of faith is built on miracles. The virgin birth and the resurrection of Christ - of course there are others. Miracles are coherent within the faith story. Outside of it, it is rational to be skeptical but then what good is rational behaviour when miracles are possible or proven historically?
Miracles are real, but levitation? Never heard of that.
It amazes me how many "Christians" do not believe in the Bible literally because it contains miracles. It is both unbelieving and idolatrous. Unbelieving because it does not believe what the Bible says. Idolatrous because it imposes a naturalistic standard onto Scripture. If God is who He says He is, then He is not confined by His own created rules. He transcends them all. Whatever makes sense, what is natural, He is Lord over. Whatever is chaotic, unnatural, He is still Lord over.
That's a different topic than whether Apostolic sign gifts are still normative in the Church today. I do not believe they are, but that does not mean I do not believe in miracles.
