I can’t answer hypothetical, but I will say that word of mouth can be highly effective, if empowered through the holy spirit.
Also, the more I read and listen to scripture, the more I realize that a LOT of what Christians believe is not the actual word of God, but someone elses interpretation of it. And I disagree with a lot of those interpretations now.

Mat 25:46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”
2Th_1:9 They will be punished with eternal destruction, forever separated from the Lord and from His glorious power.
