Most Christians have a calling of some sort, not all are called to evangelize. I believe that a true Christian is recognized by his or her actions, conversation and how they dress. Sometimes that says more than a 1000 words.
I can tell you that I am a Christian, but if my actions be-lie my words then you already know the truth, however, you should not think that all who profess to be Christians are the same. There actions will prove to you who and what they really are.

Not to make anyone anything, that's wrong. Our duty is to have a life that backs up what we believe and by that when we tell someone about God, their choice will be any easy one. Nobody made me be a christian, I wanted to.

it is a honer, a oblagation, I guess you can call it a duty, when we get saved we are redeemed, we are bought back from death,its like if everyone had cancer and I had a cure for their cancer out of the love shown to me by Jesus christ I would go tell it on the mountain, rather the people like it or not, they can take it or leave it.

everyone on here "shares" their beliefs or lack there of.
so why should non Christians get upset at Christians for sharing theirs?
most of us are not trying to convert, we are just sharing what we believe.
I will admit that some do go overboard, but then so do some of the non Christians.

The Bible does compel Christians to witness. We do not get credit for the ones who come to believe as a result. We simply obey and leave the results to God.
If you saw your neighbor's house on fire, would you stay quiet and figure what they do to be their own business?

I don't feel guilty about not sharing. I'd feel guilty if I was going to, but then had mixed feelings.
and according to the end of Mark we are to "go into all the world and preach and publish the good news to all mankind". and we are also to "go into all the world and make disciples of men", so yeah, it is kind of our job.

Yep, Jesus commanded us to spread the gospel through the world and to everyone. And no, I don't feel guilty either. I'm doing what Jesus commands.

her duty??? when the duty is just to talk they have no problem...when the duty means an economical effort then (for them ) it is less duty...
It is easy just to preach but how difficult to act.

If you were in your house and I came by and saw it was on fire and ran in screaming GET OUT! GET OUT! Your house is on fire, you'll burn! Should I feel guilty? If is see someone is on their way to Hell and I say " Hey you'll burn" should I feel guilty?

It is our duty to spread to word of God to all. Only the Holy Spirit can convert someone
