“ IF you mean by force....no. There are no commands to force someone to become a believer.

And no Christian has made that claim.”

Ok. Again. How does one person convert another?

Not one of the many responders has provided an example of one person converting another

Explaining the Gospel to people as we've been trying to do with you.

In the book of Acts there are many accounts of Paul, Peter and the disciples witnessing to people and sharing the Gospel. Might be a good read for you this weekend.

We convert people in a way similar to how an ambulance drive might save someone's life. We bring unbelievers to the Gospel (well, the reverse actually, but you get the point).

Ambulance drivers are not doctors and we are not God.

Then you are exampling indolence and sophistry, or gross blindness. The NT teaches conversion, which is not by force, and there is no justification to impose your meaning on it as meaning that. Otherwise souls could not harden hearts at hearing of the gospel.
