Socialist libertarian makes some sense in that it could cover people who want to share their property in common,but don't want to impose this on anyone. They might set up some commune with like minded people and try to stay out of politics otherwise or get involved only to try to protect the commune from government interference or to more generally try to reduce the level of and intrusiveness of government.

But most socialists are more in to government socialism than setting up communes, or if they do set up or join a commune its to them a 2nd best solution to the government imposing socialism on everyone. That type of view is directly contradictory to libertarian thought.

"Christian libertarian" isn't an oxymoron at all. Its covering two different things Christian being religious and libertarian being political. There are interpretations of Christianity that are decidedly non-libertarian, but there is no inherent conflict with Christianity in general and libertarianism. A libertarian who is Christian is a Christian libertarian ( and I suppose a Christian Libertarian if he joins the party which most libertarians don't do).
