Remember also, Marcia, that accepting Christ was meant to be the natural progression of Judaism. So taking this detail and applying it across the board is a misapplication and poor exegesis.
For a true understanding of love, a I Corinthians 13 kind of understanding needs to be balanced with a John 3:23-24 understanding, among others. Love is not shallow acceptance but commitment to another's highest good.

This is in response to Will's post about his friend who was unhappy
being approached on the street by those wishing to "save her," as I
think the phrase goes. Will told her and us that proselytizing showed
love. Another point of view can be found to the Boston University
website. Conversion and the role of proselytizing are part of the
Protestant sermon of Oct 31:
