Obviously, the Holy Spirit is greater than Satan. And yes, Jesus set us free on a legal basis, but it is down to the believer to take possession of the land and all the promises.

That's why the church remains so bound and weak, nobody bothers to go up and possess the land of their inheritance.

That principle is the same as can be seen throughout the Old Testament. Although they had the title deeds, the enemy has to be driven out first with no compromises.
Jesus Himself sets us free in Him, so God is the one that seals us and marks as with the Holy Spirit, so satan and demons can never again enter in us, as we are now off limits to them!

If Christians are off limits to Satan, why are we given such strong warnings about his abilities?

Clearly Peter didn't swallow your unbiblical nonsense.
1Peter5v8Be sober-minded; watch. Your adversary the devil prowls about as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour, 9whom you should resist, firm in the faith, knowing the same sufferings to be accomplished in your brotherhood throughout the world.

Neither did James.
James4v8Be sober-minded; watch. Your adversary the devil prowls about as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour, 9whom you should resist, firm in the faith, knowing the same sufferings to be accomplished in your brotherhood throughout the world.

And early church members had already taken captive by Satan.
2Tim2v25in gentleness disciplining those opposing, lest ever God may give them repentance unto a knowledge of the truth, 26and they might come to their senses out of the snare of the devil, having been captured by him for his will.

And leaders were a particular target of Satan.
1Tim3v7Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil


And without optional armour, we will not be able to withstand the devil.
Eph6v11 Put on the complete armour of God, for you to be able to stand against the schemes of the devil,

Every one of the above verses, plus many others make it plain that we have no automatic protection from Satan. We do however have legal status that we may choose to take hold of in the fight.
However, if we don't make that faith stand, then we have no protection against Satan and his demons.

We who are saved have been marked out for and by God by the promised Holy Spirit, and he will guard His own!

Like always, you shield your eyes from the scriptures I posted.
Tell me the purpose of putting on the whole armour of God, if we are already guarded from Satanic attack?

In order to rely upon the Lord Himself to be our shield, and not trusting in our own strength..

Who in the Bible was really saved, and THEN had to have a demon cast out of them? My Bible tells us they were delivered, and then got saved!

But all along you've been claiming you were already protected by the Lord, before you put the armour on.
And if we don't put our armour on, where does that leave us?

You are just quoting tradition, as your bible says no such thing and you know it doesn't.​

there are none in the Bible who were saved already, then had a demon cast out of them, correct?

Not correct.
Ananias and Sapphira were believers who let Satan into their hearts.
Acts5v1But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land? 4“While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”

This is quite specific that Satan filled their hearts.
