Elijah won against the prophets of Baal, in a test of fire, during the days of Israel's kingdom.

..........He said, "And the God that answereth by fire, let him be god." 1 Kings 18:24

When the fire fell at Elijah's command, the people fell on their faces and said, "The Lord He is God; the Lord He is God". verse 39

........His success in the contest between God and Baal was the way of turning the people back from Baal worship to the worship of Jehovah.
