Although I am a christian I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a fundie but... if not, then the "fundies" are completely missing some of the fundamentals of christianity.

Only the Holy Spirit can convert, we are only supposed to spread the Good News of Christ. Yes we are all supposed to help those less fortunate, but many bible fundy churches dont

If a Christian fails to help someone-ANYONE-we are subjected to judgment for that. I would help them.
Romans 2:11 For their is no respect of persons with God
Christians are to love their enemies. To demand conversion is not loving-it is bribery.
The idea that Christians will not have to face and not be judged for their deeds-is incorrect. Christians will be judged too. The difference is that Christians will be forgiven.

Jesus said to help everyone and used parables just in case we didn't get it...
If we help someone just to try to convert them to our way of thinking and believing we are undermining Jesus. Manipulating people into accepting something they don't believe in their hearts is a mockery, just as bad as forcing people to "accept" Jesus.
Jesus said to give things in His name, not in response to hearing His name from those we are giving to.

Of course they would help!!! No better time to try to convert someone than when they are in debt to you! (By the way, that's called loansharking...my mom - major Fundie - is great at it.)

Of course one should help all human beings!
It is the natural way to live.
If you were thirsty and I have a Gallon of water why would I not let you drink?
What does your faith have to do with that.
You are human first before you knew your belief!

Villagers furious with Missionaries:
Jubilant at seeing the relief trucks loaded with food, clothes and the much-needed medicines the villagers, many of who have not had a square meal in days, were shocked when the nuns asked them to CONVERT before distributing biscuits and water.

The answer is obvious. Of course we are to help.
The reason perhaps is not so obvious.
"While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
"Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
"Love your neighbor as yourself."
god bless
