Why would they not be a Christian? No where in the Bible does it say that the Holy Spirit won't dwell where demons are present.Questioning Christian said:Another question:
If a person gets demonized, are they a Christian?

Lpe04 said:I think the problem comes with people confusing the words "demonized" and "possessed". As Derek Prince points out in his ministry, no one is really "demonized" or "possesed", as in this would symbolize complete control by the adversary. Christians can have evil spirits in them, and this does not mean they are "possesed", but rather influenced. Odds are that you know someone (and probably more than one person) who is a Christian and has at least one evil spirit in them. One of my very close believer friend, who has been walking with God for a very long time now, was delievered from an evil spirit randomly one day when God told him that he needed to forgive a certain person. I can think of many other examples too. Derek Prince's ministry (and Neil Anderson's too) are based on delivering Christians from evil spirits, so it is very much possible. I used to know of a video online of a pastor who would cast demons out of members of his church, and other Christians who would come to see him, but I can't find it anymore or I would post the link for you.
God Bless
Jimmy West said:If a person has a Demon in his body, that Demon is possessing that man's body and that man is possessed. Everyday demonic influence comes from outside the body. I witenssed a young man who was possessed. I was at a healing service of Billy Burke. A yound man, who still had his Pep Boys uniform on, came in off of the street to the service. Billy saw him and walked over to him and said: "You don't look like you belong here.". The young man said that he was walking home from work and something told him to come into the sanctuary. Billy asked him if he wanted to be saved and he said "yes". Billy them lead him in a Sinners Prayer and laid his hands on him. The young man immediately went down and started writhing on the floor. Billy knew something was wrong, for he shouted: "COME OUT OF HIM IN THE NAME OF JESUS". Two demons came out of his mouth and each time a demon came out, the men let out a scream. When the young man stood up, he looked different. There was a peaceful, tranquil look on his face. The entire congregation let out a cheer and welcomed him into their outstretched arms. It was a most incredible experience.
