How do you convince non-believers?

It is not hard for me to bring them to the point where they admit a god and non-materialistic / metaphysical things are possible in general but its hard for me to get a transition to christianity.

Do you have ways to approach this? Most materials I find seem to be to rather reassure an already believing person in their faith or to be targeted at children or people who never had any philosophical thoughts at all.

You don't.

God does.

Historical argument for the resurrection. Since they admit a Divinity, theism is not an "extra step," and since they admit metaphysical miracles and stuff are possible, neither is it too surprising. Then with the Resurrection being the most documented miracle (I am purposely discounting all Christian miracles here, as they are based on that one alone), ask them what other faith has proof like that? Then go on to show them the miracles that follow, and so on.

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself."

In this is the whole of the Christian life. This is what you must live each day. Your example of selfless love, in imitation of Christ, will transform those you meet and live among, in the same way as Christ's love transformed the world through those he met and lived among.

You can't really convince them, unless you read minds and even then it's not 100% sure.

If you have good knowledge and rethoric skills you can argue in favour of God in a good way, but man is not an entirely rational being.

Due to personal circumstances and antichristian ideas in our society many people are emotionally hostile to the very idea of the Christian God, not to mention our Churches. There is no amount of logical reasoning that can fix an heart who hates God, no matter how wrong his idea of God is.

You can't convert them, you can only point them in the right direction, toward God.

The rest is up to God and their own personal conscience.

We have to accept the fact that not all unbelievers are in ignorance, some were called and just said no because "their heart is hardened".

So, you convince them by debating that non material things are possible, what to do then?

Since they accept the possibility then why not suggest they pray, even a small little bit?

The only thing that can change an hardened heart is experience, maybe God will show them a little light and they will understand, or maybe they will close their eyes even more. It's up to them.

tl;dr tell them to pray
