People were also forced into conversion. Charlemagne led campaigns against the Frisians and the Saxons killing
all the people who chose not to be baptized. This forced baptism worked well with creating converts because the people that became baptized against their will felt their gods were now angry with them so they had no choice but to worship Jesus. Which I think is the opposite of how God wants His children to come to Him. He gave us a free will so we could decide if we want to become His children. Just as in Matthew 10:14 Jesus says, “If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet” (NIV).
