Question: When did constantine become a christian!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
He ACTUALLY became a Christian in October 312 ad!., - just before the battle of the Milvian Bridge, which he won to become emperor - since in a dream he saw the image of the Christian cross on the sun, heard the words 'with this sign, win', and therefore put this symbol on his army's shields!.

By this single act, he put his faith - risked his life - on a message from God, placing his full faith in God!. If that isn't full and complete devotion to God, what is!?

Constantine then won the battle as promised, meaning his faith was vindicated!.!.!.He's just gotten total confirmation that the Christian God was the one supreme God!. From then on, even if Constantine made any gestures to any Roman god, he would know that these were only empty gestures or lip service; compared to what God could do!.

Therefore when Constantine was CONFIRMED on his deathbed, it was in many ways just a confirmation of his beliefs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's unclear if he ever did, most historian say that if he did convert that it was on his deathbed!. He thought that by waiting until the last possible moment that he would be absolved of all of the sins he committed in his life instead of converting earlier and being held accountable for sins committed after his conversion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Constatine became a Christian when he saw the Christian God's sign of victory in the Battle of Milvian Bridge!. He saw a cross with the God's voice "In this sign, you shall conquer!." He ordered shields and clothing of the soldiers to bear a cross on them and he won the battle!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
