Hi Ed, I understand what you are saying and yes I've been taught that those were preachers He was talking to at that time. But I am also reminded of the scripture in Luke 11 where it talks about Satan not dividing against himself. Meaning, you cannot thoroughly cast out a devil BY a devil...it can be only be done through the Holy Spirit/Ghost. So if any preacher at one time thoroughly casted out devils, it was through the power of the Holy Spirit/Ghost and not trickery. All in all, what I'm saying is that they were saved at one time. I believe those told to "depart" were really true men/women of God at one time, saved men/women of God, but something happened along the line and they never got it right before they died. |

Glorialynn The authority is in the name. I think there are many that use the name of Jesus Christ but have never known him. Just as Jesus said in this passage "I never knew you." In fact Mormons heal and cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ and the Jesus they name is a created being and the brother of Satan rather than the eternal Son of God. So with those two thoughts I do believe you can cast out demons and never have been saved. EdB |

Ed, The key word I used was "thoroughly." They may come out, but where will they go? That's the difference. No Ed...it takes more than the name. Remember the men who thought they could cast out demons as they saw Jesus do? What happened to them? See Acts 19 Are you saying that a satanist can cast a demon out of a man by calling on a name he despises? Or just any 'ole Joe with no "covering" and no annointing can cast out a demon? No Ed, that is not true. |

GloriaLynn I'm saying Satan is a counterfeiter and a deceiver and he will and can do anything that takes people further away from the real Jesus. Classic example is the Mormon church the authentic Jesus is nowhere to be found in the that church yet they cast out demons and heal. I’m not saying any “Joe” can cast out demons but I’m saying any “joe” can probably cure a false manifestation of demon possession. Before anyone puts words in my mouth I am not saying all demon possessions are false! Let’s look at the words of the verse again. Matthew 7:22-23 "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' [23] "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' Notice the words Jesus replied “I NEVER knew you” Never says they never were one of Jesus’ flock so yes the answer to your question is those whose father is Satan can cast out demons. EdB |
