Yes, and that is amazing that it happens even when we don't put "our" labels on those seeds.
In my teaching, I never used the word oneness and used the words trinity and trinitarian a number of times. I told them that their definition of the Trinity needed refining. They not only accepted that statement, they accepted the oneness doctrine of God from a Jewish perspective as that refinement with joy and tears. I told them that our challenge as Christians was to hold to the Father, Son, Holy Ghost of the NT and not violate the Shema ( Deut. 6:4) of the OT. They got it.....big time!!!
So, do I care if someone calls themselves a trinitarian yet believes the oneness doctrine? Not for a minute!!!Truth is what is important, not the labels.

This sounds great MOW.
Have you told us how your contact with these folks came to be?

When I visited my son in October, I preached for a UPCI pastor and also taught a short class at a Seminary lead by a former UPCI pastor. They liked what they heard and wanted me to come back. Definitely a God thing.

No, Mark, these were ALL Presbyterians who received the oneness while I was teaching!!! (except 2 UPCI guys who were amazed that they received it so readily)

Re: Pics from Korea
MOW - - that is wonderful!
I'm sure your ability to articulate what you studied and their willingness to learn more was the reason!
God is so good!
