No where in Christianity is there a directive to convert people. No where

Surely you jest, or are grossly ignorant. Believing in any faith versus another one is a matter of conversion, and the New Testament abounds with commands and exhortations to do so as meaning effectual faith in God, in the risen Lord Jesus, and commendations for doing so. Want a list?

I’m not jesting

Please provide an example of such a conversion

No; he’s correct. The only directive is to preach, and Jesus emphasizes over and over that it’s the Father that initiates the conversion process. Acts 2:47 is very clear on that point.

Particularly ponder the circumstances of Paul’s conversion.
