Where in the Bible is the scripture that tells when not to spread the gospel?

OK.

As long as you are comfortable when the shoe is on the other foot, and the Islamists / Druids / Wiccans / Satanists / Aryans / Hindus / Atheists / Buddhists / People of a Gay God / etc preach to you, your wife, your children, your other family or friends while you/they are essentially under arrest, by an armed evangelist of whatever faith. Then, sure, nothing says it's not a good thing.

I'm sure this is what Jesus had in mind. "Go forth and arrest people, and give unto them the good news." Yeah, I remember that verse now. Especially because it is such an effective display of the love that He wants to show. "God may forgive you, but neither I nor the great state of South Carolina will." Good message, I'm sure he's going to reap converts like they're going out of style.

I do not wish to be put into such a situation, for myself, nor for my loved ones. You clearly have more faith in those who practice other religions than I. Just don't complain when it is a non-Christian doing the coercing.
