Hello =)
You do not, and more importantly, you should not.....
The views of one religion are not any more valid than those of any other.
Or shall I try and convert you to Buddhism??
Namaste, and Happy Holidays!!!

You can't convert anyone. All you can do is to deliver the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, set the example, and pray for the person. The Spirit of God (Holy Ghost) will intervene if the person is willing to relinquish the hold that Satan has on him or her.

That's a hard one. You know what, the best thing to do is pray about it. I mean, pray really really hard about that situation. Sometimes it would help if you and that person start a conversation and you ask them why they choose the relgion that they did. I suggest that if you are a just a beginner in the Christian walk that you really study the Bible because everyone who doubts God will have fiery questions, and you may not be able to answer them. But the best advice I can give you right now is to pray with your heart for that person to be saved, be patient because a process like that could take forever,and trust God. Completely.
GOD BLESS YOU!

I'm sorry to say that you can't.
there might be hope tho, first you need to distinguish if your friend is actually a satanist, or just an atheist who claims to be a satanist.
Matthew 12:32 - "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
The verse is stating that people who say "God doesn't exist" and go against God can be forgiven when they understand that he is present and he is willing to forgive.
however, a satanist is someone who understands that God does in fact exist, and decides to rebel against him anyway. that is denial of the holy spirit, the only sin mentioned in the bible that cannot be forgiven.
Theres no point in being a satanist. The devil will fall for the last time in the revelation - which is coming soon!

You can't. People convert themselves and that's the only way anyone will ever convert. If someone is converted by another person, then it's not genuine.

You realize that you can do nothing but pray for the person. You can't convert someone, as much as you can convert napkins into dollar bills, with a special light.

YOU can't but the Holy Spirit can. What you CAN do is be an example that they would want to follow...or that they would want what you have...the joy of knowing Jesus. Jesus did not argue with Satan. You can pray for that person and that will enable the angels and Holy Spirit to work with them whether they ask or not.

Isn't it interesting that the christians are terrified of being corrupted by the devil but the satanists are not concerned about being corrupted by christians. Is satan simply stronger and offers more fun things to do?

you dont-Jesus does-many x satanists have been won to Jesus-they dont have answers for the biggy questions on life and belief-if you live for what your against you dont have a good purpose-since satan doesnt come into them to be savior and best friend-its just a anti Jesus religion-true love and letting Jesus guide you in witness, and calling in your heart on the blood of Jesus to stay focused helps alot-in amazing grace that saved a Jew like me-once a wretch into just about everything -searching for a better life and true meaning.

If you insist, don't be forceful, you're just going to make them hate you. A lot. Don't be annoying. That will also make them hate you. Get some pamplets from your church. Nothing that was written by Jack Chick, or was intended for children. Anything that says you're going to hell if you don't accept Jesus right now is also a no no.
Hand them to them and say "I think you should read these". If they offer you some of their literature, take it, but don't destroy it. Read it.
