Hi Godrocks,You can't save anyone. That work of salvation is all God's work in His own time and in His own way.You might take a few minutes and read Ephesians 1-10.But especially read Eph. 8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."Your friends might not be saved until another ten years go by. God, alone, knows exactly the right timing when a soul will be ready to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit and given a heart of flesh to receive the gift of faith from God.In the meantime, you can pray daily and persistently and ask God to save them. Then relax in your trust in Him to do according to His perfect Will.waynemlj

Godrocks,Your parents can't force you to believe in Jesus. I'm not sure what a believer in faith is, but I know that salvation comes only through seeing our guilt and trusting what Jesus did as our only payment. First make sure you have your own salvation worked out. Then pray and be ready to act when a door is opened by God for your friends. You can't make them believe, but you can tell them the gospel and show them through your own life the truth of it. Focus on your own relationship with God. Let God lead you to the rest. When you see Him open a door, go for it.

Don't worry, God has his ways of reaching everybody eventually. Their salvation is not really in your hands, so don't worry.
