James 5:19

Restoring a Sinner

18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.19My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,20consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

So that is the sort of thing you have to do. From James
