It is commanded of us by the One who saves us. I do not have to do it, if I choose. God will use another who is willing, that one will be blessed and I will have missed out on the blessing. The witness will be given and the person receiving the witness has a decision to make, simple really.
That's actually somewhat close to the reason why I came to conclusion that witnessing is pointless! No matter what you do (witness or not witness) it makes no difference because the person going to hell went their by his own fault.
The fact that scripture commands believers to witness I think should be particularly troubling because it's commanding you to do the pointless.
Tell me what is the fault that sends one to hell, put a name or definition to the fault (sin is an answer, but it's not specific enough).
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
