For Me:
I would just say that I believe they are entitled to all the same freedoms I have. Free to choose and free to act. I do not feel compelled to convert or push my beliefs. I feel only the need to respond and give information when asked. I also don't feel compelled to recoil from insults. I am not ashamed of my beliefs or my God

Carrie my love is as strong as yours. I would like to see all man in heaven. I am not God and I do not assume to have the power to convert anyone. My job is clearly defined as being open and willing to move in any direction God leads me in. It is not for me to assume power outside of this. A man cannot come to the Lord without being called first. I am a light willing to shine to draw all man to Christ. I am not willing to force myself or Christ on anyone. Me talking has little influence. ME PRAYING GIVES POWER TO TEAR DOWN STRONGHOLDS. AND FOLLOW HIS LEAD

If they are interested, I am more than happy to share my faith. It's not religion that I want to share...it's about relationship. Huge difference.
I wish everyone could have the same (or better) relationship that I have with the living God. However, it's all about free will and choice.
You know, the Great Commission does not tell us to go out and brow beat people into believing or damning them to hell because they choose not to listen.
It is not my job to condemn or judge anyone. They have been informed and have made a choice.

Have you no concern for the lost?? If you don't, then don't consider yourself saved. The Ten Commandments and Hell go hand in hand.
John 14:6 says "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Revelation 21:8 says "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Ezekiel 3:18-21 says "18 When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 19 Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
20 “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. 21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”
Think long and hard about that. We as Christians need to tell people how to be saved.
Matthew 28:16-20 says "16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen."
As Christians we must OBEY!
Matthew 10:38 says "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me."

For each who walks their prescribed path
And steers clear of hatred and wrath
To those who do not share my views
I ask for blessings upon you
Seek your path and live your life
I pray for peace, and end to strife
That you will find answers you seek
And at cosmic truths you'll take a peak
And if, in life, your way grows old
And burdens weigh you down too much
You can use me as a crutch
And join me down my chosen road
I'll not condemn or judge your past
For in your present, you are here with me
And for your future we shall see
Where the lots of life are cast

After you have shared the truth with them, there is nothing more to say- but that you can hope and pray they will receive it. God does not want us pushing our beliefs on someone over and over...if they do not want to hear it. It is God who saves us- not we who save others. We are just to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and pray that one will hear it and receive it. I will not accept others beliefs and say it is ok- I will always stand up for the truth. There comes a time to just walk away....shake the dust from your feet as the Bible says.
