Earlier in school, a teacher was leading a prayer in class. I noticed that this one kids lips weren't moving and his eyes were opened. He said he didn't believe in Jesus.
Me and my buddies tried to get him to accept Christ after school but he wouldn't listen. We tried to kick His love into the heathen but he wouldn't budge. Finally he stopped moving. I don't know if he's saved, but is what we did justified? I mean, my priest says that we are "soldiers of Christ"

That's the Muslim method.

No body can be forced to be saved, they have to come to Christ on their own free will, they first have to realize that they are a sinner, and come short of the will of God, I believe I would find me a different Priest/Paster, this one didn't give you good advice. You don't kick, or hit someone into being saved, frankly, I think you and your buddies need to get saved.

I don't know what school you attend but the Bible does not teach this type of witnessing. You say your priest says that you're "Soldiers of Christ" I believe you misundertood the meaning of that. You need to go back and talk to him so that you can get that straight. Christians are not taught to do that and neither does Jesus Christ. Follow His example of witnessing in the New Testament.

Most people are successful at telling people about God by being NICE. You can't force someone to believe something. They might say they do, but they'll just hate you. So no .... being "soldiers of Christ" doesn't mean that you beat someone to get them to convert. Use some common sense.

What a question! You can't save anyone against their will! In fact, YOU can't save anyone. It is Christ who does that, and He does it when we invite Him into our hearts of our own free will. A coerced "conversion" is meaningless, and an insult to God. That's not how He operates, and it's not part of His covenant.
*By the way- I am well aware this question is facetious. But I felt it deserved a legitimate answer, nonetheless.

apart from rules and regulations in our soceity, there are what is called universal laws. Two of the most important are choice and free will. your priest should know this. guess who set down universal law. guess who set down soceity law. big difference.you are breaking gods law by trying to save anyone imposing on their choice and free will. he does have a son and his son has legions of arc types. you have angels by sanction from the living god . it would be wise for you to listen to them and not confusion. soldiers of christ?. when you get chills and shudders that is your angels. in the bible it is called the quickening of the flesh. tell this too your priest so he can save himself. that is what it is all about. and save yourself start communicating with your angels.

Troll.
You couldn't save someone by force since the definition of "saved" involves "accepting" Christianity. So unless he actively decided to accept it, he wasnt saved.
I can no more be forced into christianity than a Christian forced out of it.

no. it's up to the individual how and when they find god (in whatever aspect) or if they find god at all. having a civilized discussion with the guy to see where his faith lies is something else - but it's completely unwarranted for you to gang up on him and try to "kick His love into the heathen".
very not cool.

3 thoughts spring to mind immediately:
1-you can't force someone to belief
2-you've made up the whole story...you're a troll, and not a very convincing one at that
3-it might be wise to lay low for awhile, lest some REAL catholic kids catch hold of you...

First of all, just what are you thinking and believing that YOU and YOUR BUDDIES and YOUR PRIEST are "saving " ,this student from, to begin with? Looks to me like he needed to be "saved" from your abuse.I suggest that you examine your belief system, and learn what "know thyself" really means. Also, determine through self examination who's beliefs you hold, are they really your own, or are they your parent's or your priest's beliefs.Know thy "self".

it's so distasteful when people like troll about such important things as saving the lost.
you are so obviously a fake to those who believe, yet i know there will be those unbelievers who will happily hop on your nasty little bandwagon and attribute your trollish behavior to God or His word.
but you are an awesome example of why Jesus died...to save people like you...i hope you recall these words with shame when you are finally called to task for your behavior here on earth...
