This is towards those who go around trying to convert random people. What benefit do receive by trying to convert me?

Did it ever occur to you that people don't do everything to gain something for themselves but only out of love?
People who are interested in helping you believe in God only want to share what they have found with you.
You are still free to reject it and they should respect your choice.

It is not for our benefit but for yours alone. We are not the ones that convert you. God is the one that does the converting. All we do is give you the message. At least you won't be able to say that no one took the time to care.
Would you warn someone if you thought they were in danger and that they could die?

Of course, it isn't any of my business. Once you've let me know that you aren't interested in my faith, the polite thing to do is to let the subject drop. I do try to do the polite thing, since there is really no point in trying to force anyone to accept my belief.
It is hard, though, sometimes, especially if it is somebody I really like. I guess I take after my Father...I am not willing that anyone should perish.
Of course, if you decide you don't like me because I am a Christian, there is no law that I know of that says you have to hang around and talk to me. The only recourse I have is to pray for you....

Well, it is just something u have to except in society. That is just the way it is, and u know that. Christians are taught to love their neighbor and the only way to heaven is through Jesus, so it is only logical through the facts.
It is a thing of society u have to accept kinda like accepting the fact that u feel u have to b extra considerate to African Americans cuz they are oppressed, n kinda like I have to accept wanting a penis enlargement after seeing porn wit john holmes, r kinda like the fact that sometimes ur farts may trail u into the area u were trying to avoid letting it in the 1st place! r kinda...well, sorry guess im babbling.

It's none of my business if you believe or not. It is my obligation as a christian to tell as many people about Jesus and salvation as I can. Why would I want to keep such a great thing a secret? The choice in the end is yours.

Some cults/religions have a quota of converts per person for admission into heaven.

It is our business simply because Jesus commanded each of us to be disciples and preach the Good News of His Kingdom to all the ends of the earth. You may choose not to listen, but we will preach regardless. We have been given an awesome responsibility to save souls and we do this by preaching and directing others to God who will do the final purification of your immortal soul.

This commission is ordered by God and it's only for those who wants to receive, so you see , it's not for you ....why?...because you do't want the Lord in your life!.....Sooooooo, why are you on a religious/spiritual site!...I don't see anyone begging you to stay!.....ps. don't put a stumbling block in the way of others who wants to be converted!....

They are just trying to help you. If you are not ready to learn, then dont make it any ones business by posting it on the Internet. God loves you anyways. You will see. He will bless you. watch for it.

First of all, I didn't come to you, you came to me and that makes it my business. From MY perspective, that is a divine appointment. The Bible teaches that if I encourage you to repent of your sin, then I may receive a reward in heaven. Truth is, I don't care about rewards. If I make it into heaven with melted, smoldering sneakers, that's all good to me. But the One Who laid down His life for me laid It down for you as well, and it is His will that NOBODY suffers damnation. If it was important enough to Him to die for, then I suppose it's a no-brainer that He would want me to tell you about it. If you don't want to hear about it, then don't hang out here!
But don't say that nobody tried to tell you the truth, either!! You'll get to explain that one to God yourself, face to face.
