There is a time and place for both. During spiritual warfare you need to be a warrior and other times ,like a slave willing to obey and honor and please God and do Hid will.

slavery means, you work for nothing (or barely) in return. a warrior is someone who fights for what they believe for. Slave of Christ, not sure.I'd rather be a Slave FOR Christ, w/o expecting anything b/c He already gave me so much by dying on the cross for all my sins. It's just the right thing for me to give what i can to be His slave (i wanted that, He didn't force me to do it).
At the same time, if i don't become a warrior for Christ, then i don't walk the talk. Bottom line, i'd take both, and do the the best that i can. Shalom

I, as a Christian Pastor, believe it is better to be a follower of CHRIST.
Being a slave to Christ could lead to denial of the Father and being a warrior of Christ could lead to believing you have done it all when in fact Jesus did it through you.

It depends what you mean by slave and warrior. If "slave" implies the injustice as (for example) suffered by African Americans in the U.S., then this is not noble. If you mean that he is our leader, provides us with free will, and implores us to do his will, then that is noble.
If "warrior" implies violence and one-sidedness, then this is not noble. If you mean that Jesus wants us to fight evil in a nonviolent way that causes no harm to God's creation, mentally, physically, or spiritually, in such a way that we support his morals and despite the odds will conquer our temptations and persevere in the upholding of love, then this is noble.

I'll go with "warrior" on this one and I'll tell you why. Jesus said that the servant doesn't know what his master is doing (John 15:15). The warrior overcomes evil with good and his weapon is love. Besides, a slave is not a family member.

Slaves don't ask questions. I'm sorry to disappoint, but you aren't a slave of Christ.

What exactly is a Slave of Christ? I think both connotes blind belief and that's not a good thing.

Neither is necessary ,Jesus won the Victory , and Jesus set us free from Religious Bondage. to be noble is to become a Member of the Body of Christ.
Anointed.
