The revealed word of God can't be understood by unregenerate natural man. The truth is spiritually revealed by the Holy Spirit to the person who is in a state of repentance and ready to receive salvation.

I don't think any christian can make a person believe in any part of the bible, because most christians know thats not our business to. It is by an understanding and revelation of God that people do believe in his word. The christian or those who believe in the gospel are commissioned to just tell it.
The choice to beleive in the words of the bible is left to the individual to decide. it seems so hard to analyse but its just a small particle of faith which moves a mountain of doubt and by doing that it allows god to work an awesome changing effect in our lives.
As a christian i am not trying to make any person believe, but with what i believe in my own heart i am only telling it.

No. You can't MAKE a person believe anything. If the Christian in question knows his/her Bible well enough, and can present a convincing argument, he/she may make believers out of some.
But there will always be those those who can't, won't, don't want to believe.
This diversity makes the world interesting.

No, Only God can do that,by drawing a person to him the person can see the truth, but if God does not draw a person they will not believe the Bible no matter what anyone says to them, nothing else can do so, people seem to like to believe in lies more than trying to find out what the truth is.

No.
They've been reading parts of it to me for my entire life. When I read the whole thing, back to back, I KNEW it was a scam.
Reading the bible creates more atheists than anything else.

No, we can save no one. We are witnesses of the love and truth and power of Jesus Christ, only. American churches should take a hard look at what they look like as witnesses and be totally ashamed.
