Apostate prophet to ex-Muslims; revert to Islam or face death for apostasy

In answer to the video "The "No Compulsion in Islam" Lie"

The youtuber here is struggling and wants to know what is the Quranic stance on apostasy.

18:29,2:256"There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing" 
“There is no compulsion in religion” negates and disapproves compulsion and coercion in spiritual matters. When 2:256 says there is no compulsion in religion, it also gives the reason for the prohibition of compulsion
"truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error".
Its saying the truth has been explained so clearly, there is no need to use force and if one accepts or rejects it then he is fully deserving of the consequences. The clause on which the prohibition is based on ie
"truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error"
was never changed whether before or after the "verses of the sword" meaning the effect or order cannot be changed or cancelled.

Islam requires that belief follows reason and understanding. There is no need for compulsion in a matter whose advantages and disadvantages are clearly defined and the reward and punishment for accepting or rejecting it well-explained
"the right way has become clearly distinct from error".
This is why the prophet is told that he is not a warder, keeper and guardian over those who turn away. Like all prophets that passed before him his task consists in warning and giving glad tiding to the people, he has no power to influence their freewill or force their belief 17:54,42:48,88:21-2. He should therefore let him disbelieve whoever wishes to 18:29 after making sure that the message has reached them 13:40 in the most kindly manner 6:108,16:125.
