Self-Test 4

The following scriptures are sometimes used to argue that Christians cannot be demonized. How would you interpret them so they could not be used to argue that Christians cannot be demonized?

John 12:31

Refers to the legal judgment of Satan, not to his detainment in the abyss. Even after Christ made these startling declarations Satan very seriously affected Peter, leading him to deny the Savior (Luke 22:31-32).

Hebrews 2:14-16

The Greek word katargeo does not mean to destroy or reduce to no power. It rather means to make ineffective, nullify, set aside, doomed to perish. The same word is used in the judgment of our old man in Romans 6:6. Few would argue that our sin nature has not the possibility of controlling our lives. Demonic forces have been judged by the cross and have been rendered inoperative in having the rule over death and the bondage that result from fear of death. Satan’s dominion of believers through fear has been broken.

Colossians 2:14-15

If Christ has so routed and stripped the enemy of weapons, how could the Christian ever expect the enemy to attack let alone invade a believer’s body? This is a positional legal victory over Satan and demons. Paul did not intend to convey that we need not stand guard against them or that they could not seriously affect our lives as Christians. It is one thing to have a perfect legal standing before God through being “in Christ”; it is quite another to walk in obedience to the Word and to keep one’s self from being led astray through demonic deception.

II Thessalonians 3:3

Paul knew the attack of Satan in his ministry and in his body (2 Cor 12:7, I Thess 2:18). He warns all Christians to put on the whole armor of God so that they might be able to stand against demonic wiles (Eph 6:10-12). It is to be expected that those who do not stand in the power of the Lord and the armor of God will not be able to stand in the battle. This promise is for those who walk in obedience to the Lord. Satan will not be able to take them unaware and render them weak, unfaithful, and unproductive in Christian life and service.

2 Timothy 2:25-26

In another passage, Paul advises Timothy on how to minister effectively to a believer whom Satan has “taken captive”: “Those who oppose him [the Lord’s servant] he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will” (2 Tim. 2:25-26). Paul continues to be concerned about false teachers in the midst of the churches. He is not speaking of wolves among the sheep, but of sheep who have been led astray and threaten to lead others astray. Since Paul advises Timothy on how to minister in a way that effects restoration, these opponents are Christians who have fallen off the rails. They have become ensnared in a trap (pagis) set by the devil, and the result is quite severe– they are now captives of Satan. George Knight aptly comments that the phrase being captured alive (ezogremenoi) “conveys the sense of ‘having been taken and held captive’ and expresses the decisive hold that the devil has.”

It is quite possible that these false teachers were Christians who had never made a clean break with their occultic past and were continuing to be involved in magical practices. Paul compares their opposition to what Moses experienced when he faced Jannes and Jambres, the Egyptian sorcerers (2 Tim. 3:7-8; cf. Exod. 7:11-12,22).

Self Test 5

The following scriptures are sometimes used to support the fact that Christians can be demonized. For each of the verses below, how would you came against the argument that these verse support the demonization of Christians?

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

No clear evidence of demonization of the unbeliever or believer.

I John 4:1-4

Does not present any sure evidence that believers can be inhabited by demons

I Corinthians 2:11

No conclusive evidence of demonization. Unger states that receiving another spirit does speak of demonization of Christians.

I Timothy 4:1

It is unclear if teachers are Christian or not and as to whether the demons involved are outside or inside the false teachers.

I Timothy 3:6-7 Passage does not support the concept that believers may be inhabited by demons.
