but, at the same time, it's not MY job to convince anyone.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." Matt. 28:19-20

So it is YOUR job after all. And if you try to convince them to take the gospel on faith, but also that the beliefs of the particular denomination you belong to are not 100% correct, then your chances for success are lessened, which is the point of my original post in this thread.

since when did the command to make disciples (i.e. teach and lead those willing to follow) come to mean 'convince logically with 100% authority on all matters of spiritual mystery'?

i don't agree. i don't think that command means i have to argue and logically convince people to become christians. you don't come to Faith because you lose a logical argument about faith.
