I think radical Christians live their life completely by the Bible. They don’t convert people by force. They try to convert people by reason.

“They don’t convert people by force. They try to convert people by reason.”

I think a simplier explanation than this is possible. The “conversion” of a person to “saving” belief in Jesus Christ is an act of God. It is God, in the person of the Holy Spirit, that brings this about. Belief or non-belief is between the individual and God. My only real function as a Christian in the “conversion” of others is to proclaim the message (as commanded in scripture) and then leave it in God’s hands to do the converting. “I” can’t “convert” anyone - only God can.
