As usual I agree with you. If we don't want to be pressured by sales people when buying anything, why would we want to be pressured about THE most important decision of your life? Yay Wendy!!!

I think one of the reasons Christians act that way is they feel pressured to "save" people. We get so excited about the Truth that we get frustrated when people don't get it. It's the fear factor thing..."If this person who I care about doesn't accept Jesus before they die they'll go to hell and that hurts me." But, like you mentioned, God is in control of who comes to Him. We are to be vessels but He has to open people's hearts before they will hear the Truth anyhow. This is always a challenge for me because I don't interact much with nonbelievers since I'm mostly at home. I pray about it though that when I am out with nonbelievers someplace (like at family gatherings) that I will always show the grace of Christ to them. I used to be more opinionated with my beliefs but the more I build relationship with Christ the more I become loving and grace-filled. Good post.
