Can a Christian person have demons?

What I don't appreciate is when some strange dude comes along, a self-appointed teacher no less, and starts trying to tell me what I must believe and do.
You must do this, you must not believe that. If you treat me with kindness and respect, I may consider what you have to say. Otherwise, see that short pier over there? Go for a stroll...a long one!
You think that is a heart after God's?
 
It is the power to be saved as we are saved and kept . We that live in earthen bodies of death have no power of our own before or after.
We have to get Jesus' teachings and do what he says to do to get saved and to stay saved.

In that way if we give up our first love. . God working in us, he calls us back to repentance showing us not to put our trust in the eyes seen .Like Nicole the leader of that sect, Something he says he hates .He gives us ears to hear his understanding . . not the leader Nicole or any man .

Revelation 2:4-7 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; (believe God not Nicole) ) or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Jesus calls back those who are not living in obedience to him and he tells them to repent of their sins.

If we did nothing, then what is JESUS DOING TELLING US TO DO SOMETHING?

what did/has Jesus told US to do?

Has He told us or do we read when He told His Disciples or others and then decide He is/was talking to us?
In the same way, often in the Epistles, the Apostle(s) would refer to themselves but we tend to thing they were referring to everyone, or at least the readers of the letters.

Makes for an interesting study. Recommended

If you were to give one or two 'somethings' [Jesus is telling us to do] , what would they be?


Bless you ....><>
 
Greetings,

He tells us many things to do.
This question is strange to me because it sounds like you don't believe Jesus tells us to do anything.
Could you elaborate more on the thoughts you are having about it?

Has He told us or do we read when He told His Disciples or others and then decide He is/was talking to us?
Some things were just to the Apostles.
As for the salvation he teaches, it is to everyone, and whomever, and all.

I have revelations from Jesus about such things.
Do you have something you would like to share about it?
If you were to give one or two 'somethings' [Jesus is telling us to do] , what would they be?
Obey everything Jesus tells us to do.

Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Bless you ....><>
Bless you, too.
 
What I mean is faith is required to overcome the person's doubt.
Where does our faith come from, how do we come to believe? Our faith/belief comes from HEARING the word, see Romans 10:17. From hearing the word and being TAUGHT, Colossians 1:5, 7. From continuing in what we have been CONVINCED of, see 2 Timothy 3:14, and being PERSUADED, 2 Corinthians 5:11.

So do you understand that we don't get faith supernaturally? We get faith by hearing and believing the supernatural message.

Both In telling (revealing) and empowering (to do) what was revealed.

In that way all truth is God's truth . He will not share "it is good" his seal of approval with the corrupted powerless flesh of mankind .

Jesus did the will of the father that worked in him with delight .Jonas he fought against Christ working in him and wanted to die knowing God would have mercy on the Ninevites.

Philippians 2:13-14 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Do
all things without murmurings and disputings:
 
I just don't understand what you are trying to say.
Sorry.

What I meant by. He will not share "it is good" his seal of approval with the corrupted powerless flesh of mankind . One of his names is Jealous he owns all things

When God not seen as a law of faith (believing) declared "let there be" (the law) and it came into sight the testimony of his faith . .he would each day give his personal good seal of approval by announcing the words "it is good" on the last day in respect to the whole it was very good. .

Jesus as the Son of man in one occasion was bowed down to be venerated . But he refused to stand in the holy place of the unseen glory of God (the abomination of desolation) .and said why call him good . . one is our good master God not seen . The father did not share his glory with mankind seen .

Jesus is God the Father come as a son.

You speak too confusing to me and so much sounds wrong.
 
Jesus is God the Father come as a son.
God signified as a father empowered the Son of man, Jesus by His holy Spirit of sonship to both will and empower the Son of Man Jesus to do it.

Jesus performed the will yoked with father with delight. Some kick against the pricks all the way .

Ask your self. Who is it that works in you empowering you to do the good will ?

Watch out for the will of men it has no power to obey, not coming from the Holy Spirit that lives in all believers


13 For it is (not will be) God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

We all have the ability to believe and obey Jesus.
Watch out for the will of men it has no power to obey,
Where do you ever get that we don't have the ability to believe and obey? I know Luther and Calvin preach that falseness.
Can you show me one scripture that says we don't have the ability?
not coming from the Holy Spirit that lives in all believers
After we receive the Holy Spirit he works in us by loving us.

That is about those AFTER they are saved by believing and obeying.
 
Animal genes have at times been tossed into the mix. Those aren't aliens people are seeing. Some have physical bodies. Look at the genetic stuff that's going on nowadays. As in the days of Noah...
Yes the fallen angels did it to amimals as well. And the result is neph'il
 
Oh...so exactly how does working out your own salvation (deliverance) mean any kind of answer to what I posted? It doesn't...



First, I was answering the OP's question. Second, I said a Christian cannot be demon possessed...are you lumping possession and having an unclean spirit into one thing? Because if you are, you are incorrect.



Wrong. Under the Old Covenant, a person "of God" was saved as saved goes under that covenant. You are again lumping two different era's into one, and in doing so, you are wrong. There was a difference between a Jew who walked with God, and those who did not...after all, what do you think Paradise (Abraham's Bosom) was populated by before it was taken away?

..
Oh you funny man...I never once said a Christian can be possessed by demons... I said a Christian can have a demon. NOT the same thing at all!
 
I do believe that Christians can have demons and go through deliverance but I want to get everyone’s input on it.
I think we all have demons in us one way or other, it's the spirit of our beliefs that overcome the bad in us. Afterall, it's up to us to decide the good and bad path/way. We always have the authority, don't we?
 
We all have the ability to believe and obey Jesus.
yes as he works in us to both revel his will and empower us to do it to His good pleasure. Without him we can do noting that could please him .
Where do you ever get that we don't have the ability to believe and obey? I know Luther and Calvin preach that falseness.
Can you show me one scripture that says we don't have the ability?
I can offer. He must do the confirming

2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

After we receive the Holy Spirit he works in us by loving us.
Not after but as he works in us by loving us.

That is about those AFTER they are saved by believing and obeying.

For it is (not will be) God which worketh in you .

We who were dead in our trespasses and sin have no power living in these earthen bodies of death (2 Corinthians 4:7)
 
Yes the fallen angels did it to amimals as well. And the result is neph'il
The sons of God are born again believers. The neph'il are the renown believers moved the faith of Christ that worked in them. Some were being unevenly yoked with daughters of men destroying the spiritual seed one (Christ) , men unevenly yoked .they werer still there after the flood the comandment remains the same today

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
 
I do believe that Christians can have demons and go through deliverance but I want to get everyone’s input on it.

No.

Do you think Jesus will share a house with a devil? The fallen angels were removed from heaven. Our bodies are vessels.
