Warn someone not to do something



We have to warn him not to come home.




Is it okay to say "against coming" in place of "not to come"?

It is correct English. To me it feels very slightly less direct. I'm sure it was just a small slip, but the text actually says "come here ", not "come home" as you wrote.
