Absolutely not. A true Christian has a belief system that no one can interfere with.
Read Galations 1:7" Which is not another, but there be some people that trouble you and would pervert the Gospel of Christ".
You can't use just one verse out of context. People will take it in different ways.

There is another scripture that says something similar...
"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths" (2 Tim. 4:3–4).
Many men and women in the past have been able to, and while most Protestants think that Martin Luther was the first to go against the church that Jesus Christ instituted, they are very mistaken. The first person to teach differently from what Jesus and the apostles taught was Mohammed in 600 A.D. After that was the breakaway of the Eastern Orthodox church in 1054 A.D. There were many others, but those religions have either faded from history, or their beliefs were shown to be very untrue.
When one man thinks differently from what is in scripture, or what he was taught by traditions of the Church, he will lure other people away from their faith and their beliefs, if those same people feel the same way about what he teaches.
With that said let's identify who started of Christianity and the Church that was established, first and foremost.
Jesus Christ (St. Peter and the Apostles of Jesus Christ) - ROMAN CATHOLIC (Year instituted: 30 A.D.)
Now here are examples of religions that are offshoots of Christs Church...
King Henry VIII (Because he was refused a divorce) - ANGLICAN
John Smyth - BAPTIST
Victor Houteff, later lead by David Koresh - BRANCH DAVIDIAN (originating from the Seventh-day Adventist Church)
John Calvin (former Protestant) - CALVINIST
Mary Baker Eddy - CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Robert Brown - CONGREGATIONALIST
Michelis Jones - DUTCH REFORMED CHURCH
Patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem - EASTERN ORTHODOX
Samuel Seabury - EPISCOPALIAN
Jacob Albright - EVANGELICAL
Mohammed - ISLAM
Charles Taze Russell - JEHOVAH'S WITNESS
Martin Luther - LUTHERAN
Grebel, Mantz and Blaurock - MENNONITE
John & Charles Wesley - METHODIST
Joseph Smith - MORMON (LATTER-DAY SAINTS)
Jim Jones - PEOPLES TEMPLE (here is one to remember)
John Knox - PRESBYTERIAN
The Landgrave of Hesse, the Margrave Albert of Brandenburg, the Dukes of Lüneburg, the Prince of Anhalt of Saxony, the Landgrave of Hesse, the Margrave Albert of Brandenburg, the Dukes of Lüneburg, the Prince of Anhalt - PROTESTANTISM
George Fox - QUAKER
William Booth - SALVATION ARMY
L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology
Adventists separation after the prediction of Christ's Second Coming - SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
Jacques Breyer or Julien Origas - SOLAR TEMPLE (it is believed that 30 members still exist today)
John Biddle - UNITARIAN
John Murray - UNIVERSALIST

For someone who doesn't like the Bible or Christianity, you seem to read a lot of it.
One of the main reasons that I believe in Christianity is that the people who knew Jesus were willing to be tortured to death rather than change their story that they saw Jesus return from the dead.
If the apostles were lying about seeing the resurrected Christ, then why didn't they take back their story when they were individually being tortured to death? Every one of the apostles (Except John, who died a natural death in exile on Patmos), were killed for their faith. Wouldn't a liar recant this story to save his own life?
What did they have to gain by making it all up? What good does fame do for a dead person?

I'm still trying to figure out why Christians feel the need to talk others out of their beliefs? I know it says to spread the Gospel, but it doesn't say to keep on the person till they convert.

What?
Preach the truth of the Gospel.
How will that make a Christian give up their beliefs.

Nope. I don't think there's any chance of talking a Christian out of his beliefs, any more than some Christian could convince ME to buy that stuff!

I hope not, but there are so many different views of the bible that you can't just believe it, you have to feel it. I know I can't talk myself out of a feeling, nor anyone else.
