“God appeared in many different forms to OT Jews. For example, as a whirlwind to Job, as a cloud to the Israelites, and as a burning bush to Moses. Ex. 33:20 says that no one may see God’s “face”. Ex. 33:11 says they spoke “face to face”, AS A MAN SPEAKS TO HIS FRIEND....”

None of which worked, as +Athanasius the Great points out, FK!

I'm not sure what you mean by "worked". God elects those He chooses from both the OT and the NT. Abraham's faith was accorded to him as righteousness. Job was "perfect". David was a man after God's own heart, etc. It obviously worked in those cases. In fact, it always worked as God willed.
