being a soldier of Christ is not terrorism or anything near that. we are all fighting a battle spiritually and mentally everyday. a soldier of Christ is just some one who tells people about Jesus and how much he loves you. it doesn't have any thing to do with the crusaders. it is not a religion either.

Miles Christi was a name given to the members of the Iona Community by its founder George MacLeod. The origin of this image of being a Soldier for Christ may have its roots in Martin of Tours who as a former Roman Soldier applied similar discipline to Christian life and was a great inspiration to the early Church in Scotland. St Martin's Cross, a high Celtic Cross carved in stone, stands to this day outside the entrance to the Church of Iona Abbey. The image also reflects a tradition of someone remaining on watch. The early Christian Community on Iona founded by St Columba sent members out to evangelise mainland Scotland and beyond, with some members remaining behind. George MacLeod had been a decorated soldier in World War 1. He founded the Iona Community just before the outbreak of World War II. It could be suggested that with military imagery dominant in the wider culture at the time he saught a symbol of discipline that could be applied to churches involved in rebuilding local communities.

Soldier of Christ can be translated into Latin to mean "Milies Christi Sum." And it was stated by Emperor Constetine the Great after he won his victory and took over the Roman Empire.

While the term may have some other historical meanings, a solider of Christ is a person who places Jesus Christ as their top priority in life and strives to follow Him and do His will. This person's sole purpose in life is to bring glory and honor to Jesus' name.

Take an Amway salesman and a Christian. Usually closed minded and wont see any other ways but their own. Everything they do is right and if you are not on the same page everything you do is wrong.
