Hoping someone can help identify this one. I watched it as a kid (around 7–8 years old, so roughly 2010) during Boys' Brigade meetings in Northern Ireland. It was shown on VHS. Based on the production quality I'd estimate it was made somewhere between 1987 and 2005 — definitely low budget, not a polished or expensive production.

Here's what I remember clearly:

The setup: There are two scientists working together (or in competition). One is a Christian, one is a sceptic. The film is clearly evangelical in nature — science vs. faith is the central theme.

The sceptic mixes a red potion and a blue potion together in a lab. There's a big puff of purple smoke, and he transforms into some kind of evil purple version of himself. It wasn't high-end special effects — very campy and low-budget.
The ending: The Christian scientist reveals the secret behind all of his research success — he opens a door or panel to show a white room, and the reveal is that God (or faith/prayer) was the hidden source powering everything he'd achieved. It's played as a big dramatic moment.

What I know for certain:

— Live action, not animated
— Shot on video / very low production values
— Clearly made for evangelical church youth groups
— Likely circulated as a VHS through church networks rather than commercial release
— Watched in Northern Ireland but almost certainly a US or UK production
— Not a series episode — felt like a standalone short film or feature

Could be from Christiano Film Group, Ken Anderson Films, or a similar evangelical production house of that era. It's the kind of thing that would have been passed around church libraries and youth group circuits rather than sold in shops, which is probably why I can't find any trace of it online.

Any help massively appreciated — this has been bugging me for years!
