I agree that we need to be careful about how we present the Truth. Having said that, we also don't want to fall into the trap of thinking that we save anyone. It's all the work of God through us. Some of the worst presentations of the Gospel have led to true conversions, and some of the best have resulted in nothing. Not making a sincere effort to prepare ourselves and present the Gospel as best as we can is a mistake. Worrying excessively about our presentation, thinking that someone might be lost because we didn't do a good enough job, however, is a bigger mistake. Those who have been called specifically by God will not be lost. He will see to that. Those not called can't be educated/argued into Heaven. We can only do our best, and leave the rest to Him.
