Where do you go from there?

Invite them to one of your community services, and SHOW THEM the LOVE OF GOD at work in your church (if it is there :-).

That is how I was converted. I was led away from Mormonism by having the truth about the LDS Organization and beliefs revealed to me and I was led to Christ by the love and compassion of people who showed a genuine interest in and concern for my eternal destiny. I was not instantly led to Christ merely because someone proved my LDS beliefs were wrong. In fact the revelation of the errors and historical truths about Mormonism merely made me an atheist. It was the love of God, which was manifest in the people who were praying for me and proselytizing me, which brought me around to Christ.

And, BTW it was hearing and responding to the dreaded "Revelation 3:20" that brought me to my knees, a verse Calvinists insist does not apply to those who are not already saved. But then how do they explain the uncountable numbers of people (myself included) who are now Christians because they heard that verse and responded?

Praise God from through all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Praise Hime above ye heavenly hosts,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

or, it might be stated this ways: HALLELUJAH!

While the scripture (Rev. 3:20) was regarding a particular Church in a particular situation, I am personally quite convinced that the Holy Spirit calls us all and that tender knocking at the door comes to all at some time or the other in one way or another. Just my personal thinking.
