I fear you have either misunderstood their religion or they have converted to Christianity - a very dangerous thing for them to do in these days of worsening religious fundamentalism.
Islam proper essentially worships the same god - the one called God - but recognises and respects Jesus as a very wise teacher, NOT as a divine being. I understand this is to avoid compromising God's uniqueness and mystery.
I am told (by a friend who knows a number of them) that the Plymouth Brethren hold an essentially similar belief, so aligning themselves more with the ancient Hebrew religion than the later Christianity that diverged from it.

I haven't misunderstood their testimonies. Jesus doesn't want to convert them from one religion to another, He wants them to know the truth and be saved.
