Combining being a warrior and slave of Christ?

YES. A warrior would do anything to win the fight - even death does not scare him. A Christian should fight the good fight to be a good person, strong in trials, and to always be connected with God. A slave is obedient to his master, knowing that the master will always take care of his life. A Christian should be obedient to God, knowing that God will always take care of his life. So yes,... we all should be Gladiators of Christ! :D

That brings up more questions than it answers. Does Christ want slaves? Does he want warriors? What did he say about slaves and warriors when he was here on earth? That is, if we disregard Paul and disregard the Old Testament, what did Jesus Himself have to say about the kind of people he wanted? And what did he say that he wanted his followers to do?
If Jesus wanted warriors, why did he rebuke Peter in the Garden when Peter drew his sword and cut off the man's ear? If Jesus wanted slaves, why did he treat all men and women as equals in the sight of God? Jesus didn't seem to regard anyone as a slave, as a matter of fact he treated everyone the same - Romans, Jews, Samaritans, tax-collectors, and all the rest.
It is Paul who talks about being a "warrior" for Christ and a "slave" for Christ, but Paul is not Jesus. I would encourage you to look to what Jesus said.

We should be true followers of Christ based on the will of the Father.
Matthew 7:21 NIV
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
