No, it makes you a Biblical Christian.
No man can come to Christ unless the Father draws him (John 6:44).

this deffenantly does that not make you a bad christian, peple should let everything come from there heart. the people that force their beliefs on others are the bad christians. think about it, god gave you the power of free will, if he didn't force it on you, what gives anyone else the right to. people need to understand that such choices need to come from the heart and not peer pressure. the only thing you should do as a christian is inform and share what you know, leave the choice up to the individual, when they except it, that makes it all the more special when they make the choice to become christian

That depends on what one calls, "forcing beliefs on others".
There are those that think if you broadcast a religious program on TV or Radio - thats forcing it.
Then there are those who will ask us a question about the Bible and if they don't like the answer will accuse us of forcing our beliefs on them.
Then there are those who go out of their way to visit RELIGIOUS Message Boards and like here at Questions and Answers - then scream we are pushing our religion down their throats.
Then you have those who will mock and carry on about Christians who mind their own business saying if they really believed in what they profess, they would be out there preaching the word.
You see, you cant please everyone. There is a hate in them and they get their jollies by reversing it and accusing "ALL" Christians of hate and racism and so forth. - please note there are false Christians who really do hate and really are racist - but does not reflect all Christianity.
Somehow, some way Christians need to speak up about Jesus because how can anyone see Salvation unless somebody tell them?
Not everyone will want to hear it. In fact the majority do not. But for the sake of the few we must. Whoever rejects the truth, rejects life once they have been "fairly" warned and provided with a means of escape from a certain hell.., their own rejection stands against them on Judgment day.
If anyone ashamed of Jesus before the world - Jesus will be ashamed of them before the Father on Judgment Day,

No I am with you on this. Free will, Free choice. I have my truth and will share it if someones asks or wants to know. It is wrong to force beliefs (or think you can at least) Faith is a gift. Perhaps I'd pray for them but it's not my call or right to force or shove beliefs down another's throat. Live by example

Nope. We as Christians should never, ever "force" our beliefs on others. God sets that example for us by giving us free will! If anyone wanted beliefs forced on people, God could do it much better than we could.
There is a difference between spreading our faith and forcing our faith.

You're not a bad Christian if you don't force your beliefs on others. You are a bad Christian if you don't discuss your beliefs with others.

All we can do as Christian is to teach or tell people what the great Father has done for us. As man, we cannot convert a non believer. The Holy Spirit who resides in all of us is the one true One that can open the heart to a person to recieve God and Jesus Christ.

Indeed, for even devils "believe" there is one God. The objective is not to believe anything, but rather to "know" the truth (Jn 8:32), which makes you "free" of believe-ing false Christs, false apostles, false prophets, false teachers and preachers among you.
As for being a Christ-ian, Christ is defined as "the end of the law": Rom 10:4; "our peace" who hath abolished the law: Eph 2:14; to the point of blotting out what's against us: Col 2:14; to the point there is not even mention of law(sin & death) in the end:
The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

No it doesn't. Jesus is a gentleman. He doesn't forces Himselves on us, and we are to follow His example. There is a difference between forcing one's beliefs on others and sharing one's beliefs with others. Each person is known by their actions. If your actions match your beliefs, people will see that. That in itself will be a witness.

NO, not at all. I am Christian in that I love others, I help others and I forgive others. I also allow others to have their own beliefs, and because those beliefs might be different than mine, doens't mean they are wrong.
