Should Christians hypnotize others to get converted?

I mean, hypnosis is occult, but then this would win souls to heaven.

    Hypnosis is not occult.  It's the adoption of roles by the hypnotist and the subject, and there are aspects of evangelism which resemble hypnosis sometimes, such as how people behave in crowds and peer pressure.

    Hypnosis doesn't work like that.  And even if it did, that would be useless.  The conversion has to be genuine, coming from their desire to be Christian.

    No

    Seeking and following Christ must be decision and cannot be forced or contrived.

    The truth can be somewhat "hypnotic" on its own, John 14:6.

    "Imposed beliefs" are not actually beliefs but many Christians and Muslims don't understand this fact.
