might i suggest a simple thing that seems to be so often overlooked ..(though not having read every post in this thread may have already been pointed out )God bless you as well.
However, if indeed you were right in your claim that the entity in possession of my aunt was Jesus or a semblance of Jesus or approved by Jesus or Jesus in any way manner or form then I would want nothing to do with Jesus and would respectfully request that he stay away from me.
sometimes ,evil spirits which usually prefer to HIDE away deviously in the dark .. are made manifest when the presence of God shows up ..
so i suggest to you.. it was not the denomination ,nor thier actions, which caused your aunt to behave in a manner contrary to the word of god .. but simple a lying spirit which was hidden i her life ,being exposed .. and so it reacted by spewing out its lies .
ie - it began professing itself to be christ .. (many shall come in my name saying "i am the christ "} .. so based upon this scripture we know it was a lying spirit speaking through .
Thus all that was actually required is for someone to step up in discernment ment and say .."hey thats a lying spirit !.. and then command it to come out of her in the name of Jesus and she would be delivered of that horrid creature .(remember i am suggesting this to you ,not stating a fact pertaining to her case )
this is the great concern in modern charismatic movements.. so much goes on and no one discerns any more which spirit is what .
but what is of equal concern is to see something like that happen and then point the finger and say .."ouh the whole thing is wrong and of the devil" .. as that is to attribute the work of the holy Spirit (who makes known the truth and uncovers that true nature of the heart for the purpose of bringing conviction repentance deliverance and reconciliation to god ) to the devil , and that is far to close to blasphemy againt the holy Spirit for comfort .
we must be careful not to attribute everything to the devil when it may well have been becaeu of the presence of the Holy Spiirt that that evil spirit was made manifest .. the light of the Spirit of truth exposes the works of darkness ,so we can then pull down those works and deliver the person oppressed by them . this is the purpose for darkness being exposed . and the one reason those whose works are evil (and who love those works) avoid coming to the light of the lord Jesus in his word written read and preached
but if that discernment and consequential deliverance is not there .. then things get very blurred .
