I know this isn't completely true to the heart of the argument, but he wouldn't have a choice whether or not to be a Christian. He portrayed himself as the Christ, the word means those who follow/emulate Christ. Either the word would have to change meaning, or he would have to return as something other than Christ.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
