I have given you over half a dozen verses in Mark, Luke, and Acts regarding the casting out of devils - also known as evil spirits- by Jesus, the Apostles, and the directives of Our Lord Jesus Christ himself to do so, and you are fussing that none of the verses are from the Epistles written by Paul, who cast out devils, and specifically a spirit of divination, himself.

While some of these examples were likely unbelievers, there is no reason to believe that the man in the synagogue (Book of Mark) was not.

What exactly is your reason for attempting to cast doubt on the validity of the ministry of deliverance, sir?

I specifically asked for an example of casting out demons from NT believers. A NT believer, of necessity, has the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit ... whereas the old covenant did not provide the permanent indwelling.

Because the practice is unbiblical. I ask for examples in the epistles because the epistles are letters written as instruction to the churches ... of which this current age is a part.

I don't see any command in the epistles to directly confront demons ...

I have waited for your answer ... but I know I am waiting in vain ... there is not command in scripture.
