At what point does a theist start to cross the line between debate and evangelism?

Well, it’s probably a pretty fuzzy line, so it’s hard to say. You just have to use your judgment. If I feel a little bullied, I will usually politely say something, but I’m not really easily offended (I don’t think).

As a 'theist', evangelism is what is required.
(Matthew 28:19-20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20Â teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

It's a manner of motive or mindset. To some extent, I think all God-related discussion from a theist is Evangelism.

The line for me is crossed when the theist begins to explain just why I am going to hell, and quotes scripture to back up his or her points about why I am going to hell, then punctuate their diatribe with "you need Jesus in your life".

When they start quoting the bible, or saying stupid things like we came from monkeys.

When they stop listening to what you have to say, and the conversation becomes a monologue.
