It's FREE CHOICE!
Present the Plan of Salvation ONCE!
LET THEM THINK!
LET THEM DECIDE!
It is NOT between them and THE GOD.
Your job is finished- but to PRAY!

PRAY for them and LEAVE them alone (about religion), we have no power to save them, I am sure they have heard enough of the gospel to make a choice, this is between them and God. He is the one who will reap what has been sown so leave it in his hands and don't worry about it, when you keep worrying you are basically telling God that you don't think he can handle it, and it's also like you are saying to God that YOU have something to do with that persons choice.

May I ask what your friend could do to make you abandon your belief in God? Probably nothing...turn that around, and you will know what you should do. I think the best thing you can do is be a good example of your faith in the world. Treat others with kindness, love, and decency.

Just live the kind of life that others cant criticize and if they need help you can be there for them. Even if they never believe in God they can see that you are a decent person.

Let people live their lives. I believe there is no such thing as God. I don't really care what you believe as long as it works for you and doesn't get in my way. You're not going to change my mind anyway unless you can produce the Almighty in the flesh. You can't really "do" anything about it.

God is patient, he knows that most of these people would come around in their time, or the time god has for them, after they learn what it is that they need to learn, perhaps through experiences.
God is compassionate and merciful, God would eventually hint or communicate in some way to turn them around.
Now that you know, sweet dreams.... and you should plant some seeds for your friend and pray too for him or her ..... God bless

all those comments saying there is nothing to do and blame god. don't pay attention to those. they are just people that in their heart don't truly believe and they are just trying to bring you down with them. here is what you can do. pray for them all day everyday. talk to them about jesus. read the bible to them there is a great website you can go to. it is www.biblegateway.com it has a search button and you can put exactly what you want to look for. for example type in is jesus god. and it will tell you everywhere it talks about that in the bible. it is a really cool website. check it out sometime. i am glad that you are concerned about your friend. just don't lose faith ok.

I don't know, beat us with a stick? Eesh, let a person have their beliefs, you go have yours. Your dreams are only coming from your belief in such things like a hell and your fears of them. I really advise you to just let it go and get it out of your head before you drive yourself crazy. You can not and it is wrong to want to change this person. Their beliefs are up to them.

Respect? Try respecting that person, and letting them believe what they want. A friend would not try to change them. If you are their friend, you want to be friends with them, not who you can make them into. Or else, you are not a friend. Wars have started from good intentions such as yours. Try turning the other check. Just don't persecute them.

i'm in the same boat. Be patient, pray openly for them, and love them the way God said to. He has not given up on that person, look for any opportunity to witness. it is a scary thought thinking a loved one won't be there in heaven for you to see. Don't give up.

Let me tell you something. Just be a good friend. don't shove God down their mouth. simply be Gods child and that friendship will build a bridge to God. They will soon ask about God. And you must tell them lovingly how much he loves them . Oh and share your testimony.
