Subject: Do demons still exist? |
Bible Note: Hello cwade I'll let Hank answer for himself on this, but two things jump out about your posting. 1. You won't find casting out demons to be a fruit of the Spirit. It's an empowering of the Spirit. (I know it's a technical point, but we should be accurate.) 2. There is no reason to believe this empowering has ceased. We have no Scripture to indicate that it might cease. Steve |
