Yes, I believe it is. As the world becomes more wicked, demonic activity increases. So, for those interested, a little Exorcism 101. Only Christians can perform exorcisms: Acts 19:13 describes how 7 non-Christians attempted to exorcise demons in the name of Jesus and Paul. They failed. All were attacked and beaten by the demon-controlled man who ripped their clothes off. Commanding in the name of Jesus: After Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, exorcisms were done in the name of Jesus. Acts 16:16 described a slave girl who was possessed. Paul exorcised a "spirit of divination" from her. He commanded the spirit to leave "in the name of Jesus." Acts 19:13 described how some itinerant Jewish exorcists attempted to exorcise a demon saying "In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out." They were unsuccessful, because they were not Christian believers. Danger in exorcism: In Acts 19:13, the demon-possessed man exhibited superhuman strength. He turned on 7 Jewish exorcists, beat them, and expelled them from the house with their clothes ripped off. The evil spirit had recognized that the exorcists were not Christian; he refused to follow their commands. Possession and exorcisms in the New Testament: Numerous cases of demonic possession and exorcisms by Jesus and his disciples are reported in the Gospels and Acts. We can gather certain conclusions about the exorcism process from the Scriptures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
