Radical video footage of moment Jason Struhs baptised into The Saints religious cult

Never-before seen footage has captured the moment Elizabeth Struhs’ father Jason is baptised in a radical backyard ceremony surrounded by the group leader speaking in tongues.

Footage has been released for the first time of Elizabeth Struhs’ father being baptised in a radical backyard ceremony.

Elizabeth was found dead in her family’s Toowoomba home in January 2022 after her parents deprived her of insulin which was used to treat her type 1 diabetes.

Her father, Jason and her mother Kerrie Struhs were among 14 members of the radical Christian Group who have been found guilty of manslaughter for not giving her insulin instead believing God could heal her rather than medical intervention.

The video of the baptism shows the moment Mr Struhs decided he believed in their beliefs after 17 years of staunchly opposing.

The Crown said Mr Struhs was “manipulated” by his wife and the other congregation members to adhere to the Saints beliefs.

In the video, a subdued Jason was seated in a tank with his head bowed as members of the Saints sang and clapped.

Group leader Brendan Stevens can be seen speaking in tongues after he dunks Mr Struhs into the water.

“Jason because you’ve agreed you that you want to get baptised in the name of God because it’s right,” he said.

“I am now going to baptise you in the name of the father and to the sun and to the holy spirit.

“Take a breath and I will push you down into the water.”

As soon as he pushes Mr Struhs into the water, people can be seen chanting and singing while someone plays the guitar.

Elizabeth is also in the crowd, handing her father a towel at the end.

Mr Struhs walks out of the tank and dries himself off.
