Hi Family,
How do you identify those who are practicing witchcraft IN the church?
What do you do once you have identified said witchcraft?
How do you address the person?
What responsibility does the pastor have to the congregation to address the issue?
How do you believe witchcraft can impact the church?

Hey Natsumi,
This is an awesome question. All I can say is that I have encountered people in the church who practice witchcraft, it is a very real thing in the church, sadly. Now before you go saying, "What? Who? How is it common?" If you will hear me I will answer.
Without going into detail into how I've encountered it and how I know, if you will hear me and believe I am being serious, I have sat next to people in church, greeted people in church, and if you will believe, even encountered pastors of some churches that are involved in witchcraft.
Witchcraft tries to hide among the general population, secret groups and societies try to be "secret" while at the same time blatantly advertising their involvement in witchcraft right in front of your face.
With one hand the world displays witchcraft through famous musicians and even actors while with the other hand points the finger and laughs at those that see these things and try to warn others. And these things include examples such as hand gestures, symbols, music lyrics, art work, it's everywhere.
But to not cause any paranoia remember what Elisha said to his servant in 2 Kings 6:16, "...Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." JESUS, His Holy Spirit, and The Heavenly Father are with us and watching over us always, and so are Jesus's angels.
I've seen in the eyes of those that participate in witchcraft, and felt from those involved a great darkness, almost tangible and felt as well as seen. If you'd like to know more please feel free to message me, otherwise I hope this was helpful. God Bless and may God protect you as He has always protected me.
