Last Ent, in short, it means it will affect your salvation because you'll be breaking a commandment.

I'd be breaking a commandment if I didn't share my experiences with others, but I cannot, nor will I try to, force anything on anyone.
I just share what I've learned and let you make your mind.
EDIT - i break commandments all day long. That doesn't affect my salvation, it effects my relationship with God and my witness in front of men.
(and yes I can never remember which effect/affect to use, LOL)
yeah Brunella nailed it.

Liberals (Democrats) do you think you should be concerned that other people think differently than you do?
Yes it's true I would like every one to think like I do, but at the same time I usually don't condemn them if they don't. I'm not the smartest person in the world and well even the smartest person in the world can't be smart about everything.. You have to go with what your heart tells you when if comes to religion and politics.. Do what you know and feel is right...
No I don't think it affects my salvation, if I let them be.. My salvation is based off of John 3:16.. I believe in him...

Proselytizing is part of christian dogma regardless of the different ways the bible is understood. As a rule, every human being must be shown the message of jesus before Armageddon befalls earth. This apocalyptic canon demands aggressive, intrusive, immediate missionizing. Faith in Christianity requires a certain view of reality that is engrossed with the fear of the catastrophic and the gloom of the nefarious annihilation.

Christians believe that Salvation is by Grace and Grace alone, not by following commandments.

Brunella said it better than I could have. Jesus was hardcore and he was precise about why He came. He also said people arent going to like you cause you do what I do. Granted, not all of us are witnessing 24/7. Its important to pick good times and certain people that the Lord lays on our hearts. And sometimes, you will be witnessed to with no words. Jesus came to save all and showed us what complete love was. To a Christian, the greatest testament of love is to love someone enough to share Christ with them.

* As Tolerant As Jesus *
I'd like to share with you some thoughts about Jesus and what He taught about judging others. Many people have a really inaccurate idea about what Jesus taught on the subject.
They think He taught us not to judge others, period. That is not so. They suppose that Jesus sweetly tolerated anything and everything with regards to the differing religious and moral beliefs and practices of His day. He did not.
First, Jesus loved everybody. He came to save anyone in the world who desired to be saved. But His love for others, as great as it was, never interfered with Him telling them the truth.
He taught on very controversial matters, and brought forth the truth even when it is very unpopular, even dangerous, to do so (Matthew 23:6-12).
Some preachers today think that being "tolerant" so as not to offend is being like Jesus was. It isn't.
Tough love tells the truth, which sometimes hurts for the moment, but also enlightens and, with the right reception, leads to life.
Jesus did not believe, tolerate nor condone everything taught by the various religious leaders of the day. Jesus taught that doctrine does matter.
While others may be teaching, "We are all going to the same place, just by different roads" Jesus taught "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." (Matthew 7:14).
Jesus does not want you or me to think that we ought to accept and believe everything we hear as being "alternative truth". He has said that truth is absolute and knowable (John 8:31,32).
If a teaching or philosophy is contrary to the Scriptures, then it must not be tolerated but rejected. It is untrue, a false way.
Truth is absolute, and does not change. Of course, we treat all with respect and dignity as souls who bear the image of our Creator.
We recognize the God given right of each person to make his or her own decisions with regard to what their relationship with God is going to entail.
Truth cannot be forced on anyone, and we ought not to even try. It must be received within the human heart.
But at the end of the day, there is still only one true faith, and we do our God, our fellow human beings, and ourselves a great disservice if we carelessly say otherwise (Ephesians 4:4-6).

Yes, as Christians we are to spread the word and our knowledge. But everyone has freedom of choice. We can't choose for them.
'Just letting them be' is breaking a commandment
