We have the gosple of Jesus Christ and He expects us to share it with every one. Here is what the bible says if we don't share the gospel with our friends:
whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I brequire at the watchman’s hand.
Have you shared Jesus Christ?

I have shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as I possibly can, but not with everyone I know. Many of my unsaved friends know what I believe and how they can come to accept Christ as their Savior, too.
Unfortunately, some of them aren't willing to listen or turn off the instant that I mention Jesus. I pray that God will make a way for me to be able to talk to them, too.

Oh, for goodness sake! As kallan says, do you honestly think that we non-Christians have not heard about Jesus?
That we have not read the Bible? Been to a church? Could not find someone to discuss it all with if we wanted to?
But ultimately, the decision is not yours, it is ours. And despite what some people appear to think, you cannot force someone to believe. Even by repeating the message time and time again. In fact, this is likely to have the opposite effect.
So, please. Don't feel accountable. It isn't your fault. You and your fellow Christians have done your best.
And the reply is still thank you, but no thanks.

That's a great question. I am resposible to spread the gospel because I am commanded to. To not do so is disobedience. However, they are responsible for their own sin. Actually, no human saves anybody. It is the power of the Holy Spirit Who brings people to faith in Christ Jesus.

I hope not! I try to share the gospel whenever I can. I want everyone to have the knowledge of the truthfulness of the gospel as I have and be able to receive the wonderful blessings our Heavenly Father has in store for us.

My friends and family know I follow Christ. They see my actions. The only thing that can get you to Heaven is believing that Jesus is the Lord. You entire question is anit-Christ in it's context.
As a Christian you are to love others, not judge.

Additionally, how many of you live in the western world where the gospel has been preached over and over again ad nauseum to the point where you've turned people off from ever wanting anything to do with Christ because they've heard it 1000 times already?
how many of you actually believe that your non-christian friends haven't heard the gospel?
honestly, you're safe. We would prefer you focus now on actually PRACTICING what you preach instead.

God has put those people into your life for a reason. YOur not responsible for what they decide on choosing, (jesus or not) but you do have to show them jesus in the way you live act and if the time is right to share the gospel with them.

Not me! I tell everyone I know about Jesus. It's funny that you used this passage because a couple of days ago I used it when someone asked a question about whether God would punish a person for not using the gift of prophecy.

We have been saved by grace through faith.....not works.
Our job is to be seed planters.
We plant......but God gives the increase.
The people who reject the message are accountable for themselves. If we don't share, someone else will if God allows it to be so.
But we wont miss out on heaven....our eternity is very secure in what Christ did.....not what we do.

Assume that he is a Muslim. The Quran not only allows slaves, but explicitly gives the slave-owner the right to have sex with them. There were no Muslim abolitionists because slavery is deeply ingrained in the religion. In fact, the Quran has more to say about enjoying sex with slaves than it does about several of the five pillars of Islam.
Mohammed owned and traded slaves. He commanded that women and children be taken as slaves in battle, and allowed them to be raped after capture. His followers continued the practice for centuries until it was forced to an end in most regions by European armies.
Unfortunately, slavery still persists in dark corners of the Muslim world today, such as Niger, the Sudan, and Mauritania. And, most tellingly, none of the articles by contemporary Muslim apologists (giving their religion retroactive credit for abolition) even bother to address the subject of modern slavery, much less condemn it.
On November 23, 1937, Saudi Arabia's King Ibn Saud told British Colonel H.R.P. Dickson: "Our hatred for the Jews dates from God's condemnation of them for their persecution and rejection of Isa (Jesus) and their subsequent rejection of His chosen Prophet."
He added "that for a Muslim to kill a Jew, or for him to be killed by a Jew ensures him an immediate entry into Heaven and into the august presence of God Almighty."
