Should Baptists Know How to Cast Out DEMONS?

If I may add one more thing for to think about.
If you don't know what your doing take heed. In the book of Acts 19:13-16 it speaks of the the 7 sons of Sceva a Jew and a chief of the priests. They didn't know what they were doing and the way it reads it gives the reader the idea that neither were they saved.

Acts 19:13-16
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

 

SAMPLE thx-----and this guy also said that saved people can also be possessed and need deliverance. -----RobertG---I too see the advertsement---"love spells" is one---the other is love "spells guarenteed"---they are on the 1st. page --advertisement banner!!!--------p.s. I do not believe that THE HOLY SPIRIT and an unclean spirit can reside in the same temple.!!

Amen! Because who the Son sets free is free indeed!

 

I guess it's time to open another thread, "Can disobedient/backsliding Christians be demonized?"
If they are disobedient/backsliding all the time it would make one wonder about or question them being a Christian........wouldn't it? You can generally tell who are really wanting to change as to the ones who don't.
2Tim. 3:5 - Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
But you are right that is another topic. And there are some who would argue both sides of that, because it was in the "All Christians Debate" fourms at one time. All I know is that we serve an Awesome God!
God bless~

People have different spiritual gifts.
This one falls into a category that Christ commanded his disciples to follow.
While I think it is dangerous, and something that should be handled with partners, and something that should be handled carefully, I think it still happens, and I think it is sinful to declare parts of the new testament, "No longer important."

Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And preach as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay.

Mark 6:12 So they went out and preached that men should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

Mark 9:38 John said to him, "Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us." 39 But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me. 40 For he that is not against us is for us. 41 For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

Luke 9:49 John answered, "Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us." 50 But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him; for he that is not against you is for you."

Mark 16:17 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover." 19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

 

Regarding Ezekiel 8 - If you read just a few verses further you will discover that God is no longer dwelling in the temple. So the comments that demons will not dwell where God is present stands.

Ezekiel 8:6 "And he said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the gread abominations that the house of Israel are committing here to drive me far from my sanctuary?

 

Whew, I was thinking it, but too chicken to actually say it

Amen!!! Preach it!!!!!

 

I guess it is time for a new thread. However my body was created by GOD for HIM, the Temple was built by man for GOD! My GOD will cast out an unclean spirit from the HIS temple [ my body ] for HIS use. Did not GOD cast satan and his fallen angels out of Heaven? GOD refused to allow satan and his followers to reside in Heaven with HIM. And btw, CHRIST came, HE saw, HE died and is RISEN since the time of Ezekiel there is a NEW KING in town. PRAISE THE LORD !!!!! ------ p.s. I think that it is possible that these back sliden -christians who are possessed might never have been saved at all.-----p.p.s-------oops by bad I see another thread has been opened, maybe someone can move this comment to the new one, sorry. Well I am off to work, see ya late----

 

No double post ~ROBERTGUWAPO ....it just bore repeating.

 

But in a person who accepts Jesus as thier Savior.......They couln't have Jesus living in them and a demon.

 

I too have read Job, and sees where it said that satan went to Heaven and spoke to GOD. The book of Job does not say that satan resides in Heaven, I still say that GOD would not allow it. And yes the HOLY SPIRIT can be directly exposed to evil--however I do not believe THE HOLY SPIRIT will allow an unclean spirit reside along with HIM in a saved person. We are told not to grieve the HOLY SPIRIT who has indwelt us. When I say THE HOLY SPIRIT can be directly exposed to evil, I mean by our ungodly thought and actions, not by an direct indwelling by a demon.

 

Brother Ian,
