What makes you think that your beliefs are right?
Ten thousand years ago, every religion in the world was polytheistic.
Five thousand years ago, give or take, King David and the Hebrews adapted the pagan God Ba'al as the "one true God.'
Two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ claimed to be the son of that same God.
A few years back, Tom Cruise said we all have dead aliens attached to our bodies and Katie Holmes married him anyway.
Who's to say who is right and who is wrong?

you would need to know what the right beliefs are first of all.
Do you condone and assist the killing of innocent beings?
(your A should be: No)
Do you believe that intoxicants/sex are needed in life for the ultimate pleasure?
(your A should be: No)
If you answered anything other than what's in brackets then I'm afraid that you yourself are not on the right path.
If you did answer No, then you may qualify to help people.
Help is supposed to be a positive thing, and does not lead to chaos and confusion or destruction to people with further ignorance.
If you want to help people "onto the right path" then you need to know that everything about what you believe in IS right.
Oh and by the way the peron who said the bible is the only right way, which version are you reading from the 1555??

The right beliefs?

Just keep offering. If they have the right heart condition, they will accept.
Be sure you HAVE the right beliefs yourself so as not to lead people further astray. They must be only based from the Bible, looked up and read and proved yourself, not from some man made belief anyone told you.

You mean ... the beliefs that you define as right?
Hmmm.... interesting question. I don't have a definitive answer for you. Perhaps living your life as an insiration to others might work. I hope it's not too much troouble. Other than that, I can leave you with one tantilizing question:
Which religion would Jesus force upon others?

"We" don't help them find the right beliefs. It is individual and no one person is capable of knowing what another needs to have as their spiritual belief.

Find something everyone agrees is right. Otherwise, I guess you could try frontal lobotomies for everyone! Other than things like 1+ 1 = 2 in the base 10 system, there is nothing that everyone will agree is right.

Emphasize the only process known to work in establishing correct beliefs - reason and skeptical inquiry.

We first would have to be certain we have the right beliefs ourselves.
Then live it, then teach it.

People should come to their own beliefs without the ministrations of others.
