OK well first with people who aren't believers we have to approach the subject gently. We can't just say repent or die. Talk to them just introduce them to what Christ did for us. We can't push the subject, if they listen then keep going. If you can see they are agitated by it then we need to back off a bit. Slow is best when talking to a non Christian.
Ok I see what you are saying about the commandments. Let me ask you...what does Jesus tell us about the ten commandments?

Are you following people or God? All scriptures are spoken by one true God with one voice, nothing says we should listen to one scripture in order to find another not true. If we think that it doesn't mean we must cancel God, scripture is all wrong, or we should one scripture and ditch the other. What it means is that it is time to understand the unity.
Scripture tells us that God does not give us the power to determine our own salvation in any way, not even by working for it. That is only for God to do and God calls it grace He gives us. Another way that scripture explains that is that we aren't under law. Scripture explains the faith that is required is belief in Him strong enough we can act on it, depending completely on it.
Scripture tells us the law in Holy, and what is holy we are told is of love. So the law is given to us to guide us because God loves us. We are told by Christ that not a bit of the law is done away with, it all stands. Christ says He and the Father are one, and speak with the same voice. If we look at each and every law, each one is designed in love or telling us how to express love.
So every single verse of scripture is saying only one thing, and when we see it saying something different it means we need to get one our knees in prayer asking for understanding.

Well then thats where the whole being born again part comes into play.. I can sense you are offended, if I've offended you I apologize by I am asking a legitimate question.
And read what I wrote again, No one is saved by keeping them but because we are saved out of love, through The Holy Spirit we keep them.
