Snoke did manipulate Ben from a young age, but Ben still chose to remain in the First Order. He still chose to kill all those people. But for General's Organa's sake, and because there are some mitigating circumstances, the Resistance does decide to bring Ben back to the Light, whether he wants to or not.
When Kylo Ren is captured, it is straight to a dark room with him, and cue memory manipulation and all that jazz. All to convince Ben Solo that he had in fact been taken prisoner by the First Order, that he needs to fight it, etc. And it works: Ben Solo joins the Resistance, and quickly becomes a key figure.
Snoke wants his Knight back. The Resistance is not always comfortable with what they did. Ben cannot shake the feeling that something is truly, truly wrong .
Bonus: + Seing how good Ben Solo goes a long way in convincing the Resistance that they were right. (Not all the way though). ++ Pre-established Kylux, where Hux is furious and will do anything to get his lover back.
