I've heard testimony after testimony from men who have been on these Walks while in prison, who have no hope of ever leaving the prison, but who years later are still walking strong for God. I think that if God can keep them strong in that kind of a situation, they've obviously latched onto something pretty powerful. No, they are not baptized in Jesus' name. No, they've never heard Oneness teaching (or probably trinity teaching either for that matter). But their lives have been changed and have remained changed. That says a ton to me.

Yes it does and thank you for sharing!
We have a large segment that comes to our church, and some do still struggle some.
I do not put down what they have nor do I tell them they are not saved. But we teach what we teach.
I still see a big difference in the men who have obied than those that have not. I am just being honest.
Although, I do think God honors faith and has the power to change a persons life perhaps without baptism. A person just need to have all that God has for them.
