Nowhere in the book of Acts are there examples of Christians having demons cast out of them. Colossians 1:13 is clear, and if you believe that Christians can have demons, then you are saying that Christians are not rescued from the dominion of darkness. So what are you going to believe - God's Word or your own logic? The struggles that Christians have are to do with mortifying the deeds of the flesh, because the flesh wars against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh. What some think is demonization is not at all, but a person's struggle with the flesh.Sorry but you are deceived.
The bible commands Christians or follower of Christ to expel demons, i don't know what are you on about. Half the ministry of Jesus was doing this, and today christians need to do the same.
Big issues with your statements, lots of Christians have spiritual problems, what we do with them? tell them they are not Christians? a lot of mental illnesses are because of evil spirits, God just need to open the eyes of christians so they can discern if there is something.
We are free from the reign of darkness, but is not instantaneous when believing, sometimes people need to walk a path for freedom.
Controversial statement, but If in a church never people manifest demons is because that church is 'cold', when the presence of God is there, demons can't stand it.
Also, God's Word says that when a person is converted to Christ he or she receives the filling of the Holy Spirit. The examples of Cornelius and the twelve Ephesian disciples having the Holy Spirit fall on them as soon as they believed and were baptised in the name of Christ, as well as Paul clearly saying in Galatians that a person receives the Holy Spirit when they believe, disproves the filling of the Spirit as a subsequent even after conversion. What this means is that a believer cannot have the indwelling Holy Spirit and a demon at the same time.
