NO! But is important to share our knowledge, and work together for a better society.

Life should be about living with true joy and thanksgiving. Only God calls his messengers and only God changes hearts and spirits.
People who are adamant, are usually adamant to repeat what they have learned from the cheat notes of a corporate religious misunderstanding.
Let your life testify. As someone said long before -- use words if necessary. I would add, use wisdom. I think Witness has the idea.

We arent supposed to convert people, we are supposed to share the Good News with them in hopes that they will be converted by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit

I personally wasn't a christian at a young age. I was in my 20's when Jesus grabbed me! I had a lot of time for "sinning", you know what I'm sayin'?
I was a slave (to sin) and had NO idea. The freedom I have in Christ is SO amazing.
I personally want others to feel the same liberation!
Slapping them with the bible will NEVER work, but the "conversion" part of your question, I would love to help fellow brothers and sisters ,like myself, be free.

We can't convert. We can only tell about the Gospel. It's the Holy Spirit's job to convert.

If you believe that you have something good, you would want to share it with others. There is nothing wrong in sharing ones faith with others. We all do. Atheists share their lack of faith, Satanists share their faith and mainstream religions and faiths should not be persecuted for sharing theirs. It is called freedom of speech.
However, when people seek to use violence and force to share faith, they are ignorant. Who would want to convert to your faith because you force them to? What genuine faith needs force to be propagated? Faith comes from choice not coercion. Humans would rather die than be forced to confess what they consider a lie. Confession is different from believe. If what you believe is superior, show it by your superior lifestyle. Others will follow.

As a Christian you should never worry about converting others but as a Christian you should spread the word.

I have a commission from God almighty to preach the good word and to be a vessel of him. I have a commission to tell you that Jesus is coming back to the earth to judge all the living and the dead, he is coming back for his people, are you one of them?. I am a light to the truth. Thur him i am a reaper of souls for Christ. I must tell the truth about the gospel of God, if i don't then I'm a hypocrite and unfaithful to my commission and God almighty!. So my answer is yes, If your a believer and a disciple of Christ, then you to have a commission to tell as many people about Jesus and his teaching.

For Christians, its supposed to be about preaching, keeping oneself blameless, keeping faith in God's healing power and His ability to show it when it is necessary - when people could only be convinced of Christ's love by being healed.
