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.

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.

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

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.

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

______________________________________________

The followers of the Lord Jesus Christ were told in Mark 16: 17 “ And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;. . .”

These are the words of the Lord Jesus Christ himself. Look at them. They are identifying characteristics of followers of Jesus Christ.

And your response was to cast doubt in the hearts of believers regarding the last twelve verses of the book of Mark.

Shame on you, sir.
