None nor do I have a desire to convert any.

Throughout the western world, more people are claiming to
be disenchanted with their religion and/or leave it than are
joining or being converted to one.
This is not true in Africa, but is true elsewhere.
This doesn't mean that people are becoming Atheists - just
that people are disgusted with their own church. Usually
people learn to lead their lives at face value without
asking themselves repeatedly "What does it all mean" etc.
If this were a race, organized religion is starting to lose.
However, Atheism isn't starting to win. No no.
I would say "disorganized/disenchanted" religion is starting to
win.
I am far more concerned about people's morality than
which door they open for salvation.

My husband and the rest I have no idea. I do not actively go around trying to convert. I believe for me a living example is the best testimony I can give to my faith.God knows and God sees, I have no need to know of such matters.And by the way bonus points are childish and nonexistent.

None - that's a trick question, because as much as a person can share a message, only the Holy Ghost can truley testify to someone's heart and convert them.

None. I used to go bible thumping and pounding on people's doors. Then I was introduced to the world of swingers parties and Satan music. Hahaha...just kiddin.
I don't think it's our place to try to push our need to 'convert' onto others. Jesus is not something that is lost, if one wants to 'find' him they'll do it in their own good time. =)

charlie manson converted 5 people,that proves you folks are part of a cult. people have their own minds and beliefs. just leave them alone,if they don't believe in god that's ok,if they believe in something else that's ok. i don't judge people by that, Catholics were brought up better..that's sucks you people need to convert others to get into heaven, I'm glad you wrong so i won't have to see anyone of you their.....

Ikes - - - is that how you people think of it ... that's kind of scary, life's not a game, dude, you do what you can while you can, try to do as much good as possible and your immortality lies in the results of your good deeds, not "heaven". If you're gaming life for points, shame on you!

you can't convert anyone, you can only show them the way, however, the acceptance of Jesus is something that the individual has to do on his/her own. I have shared the word with many of my friends, and I do know how many have decided to accept Jesus. But that is something that I choose to keep to myself.

I don't know now. I have been saved for about 14 years and I have been witnessing for about 10 of those years. Hopefully alot. Between visitation and Bible schools I hope the people I have won to christ were genuine and I will see them again.
