True Christianity has never been spread by force. Jesus indicated clearly and had the behavior to match that 'my kingdom is not of this world.' Those who use force are using worldly methods to spread a spiritual message and they are Christians in name only. Since true faith is matter of the heart, no amount of force can change a person's heart. Force can produce outward obedience for the sake of peace and because people may comply to avoid being harassed or killed, and may just want to get on with their lives. But inwardly their heart is more likely to be opposed to true faith.

Those who spread what they called Christianity by force were thus not spreading true Christianity but a corrupted version, which bears little resemblance to the real thing. Jesus said 'you must be born again' not 'you must submit to our religion or die.'
