I am a believer in Christ, and yet even I am unconvinced when someone randomly approaches me on the street and begins trying to deliver the Message. A big problem is where one would open the Book and quote random passages completely out of context as if it backs up their argument.
If you want to convince those who don't believe, this is not the way. They've been assaulted like this many times, and you doing it one more time will not change their mind. Rather, it will make them more resolute in their ways.
If you want to lead others to salvation, truly, you must do it by example. Get involved in the life of a sinner, act as a man and not a messenger. Live as a Christian should and when it is finally noted that you possess a higher character than most others, only then should you reveal that it is by following the path of the Lord that you have obtained your virtues.
It is slower and much more work, but you will reach many more people in this way.
