Being BORN AGAIN has a meaning so it's important to know what it entails before we can adequately answer the question you raised. So if you will like me to explain what the term BORN AGAIN means first then you and i can figure out if a REAL BORN AGAIN can be possessed by a demon.

Yes it is very possible. You have to understand why people get possessed by spirits in the first place. I think sin is what leaves you open for evil spirits. Being born again does not make you sinless. I think we all sin and that is why we should every now and then cleanse our hearts. Ask for forgiveness and even sometimes do personal deliverance to keep ourselves clean so evil does not find a way.

A born again Christian can never be possessed by demons. To understand why, you have to first understand what it means to be born again.

Remember, you were given birth to by your fleshy parents. But the day you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and believe you can never lose your salvation, that's the day you become born again. It means God has adopted you into his spiritual family. He has given birth to you, which is a new birth or a second birth hence the term born again.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The verse above says God is a spirit. This means that what he gives birth to will be a spirit as well. Just as your parents are flesh, they gave birth to a flesh which is you. So, the moment you become born again, your spirit changes and is overtaken by the Holy Spirit of God which will now dwell inside of you. With the Holy Spirit inside of you, no foul spirit or demon can possess you, never. That's why a born again Christian can never run mad.

Sadly, false Pentecostal Churches preach that the moment you stop sinning, that's the moment you become born again, adding that once you sin, you stop being born again until you repent again. That is a lie. You become born again once you accept Jesus as your saviour and believe you can never lose your salvation. Once that happens, the Holy Spirit abides in you forever, whether you sin or not. If the Holy Spirit is in you and you sin, you will only be briefing him, which is not good, but he will never leave you because he's inside of you for a purpose which is to seal you unto the day Jesus returns to redeem you.

Ephesians 4:30 kjv
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.


However, demons can influence you. A person who operates under demonic influence can receive you into committing sin. That's why it is good to always put on the armour of God which is his word the Bible.

cool Nope.
As long as you're born again, you're covered. Evil spirits can only attack you but they won't be able to get inside of you to direct your steps.
That position is only for the holy spirit.

Absolutely! They're usually possessed by the demon of idolatry.

Seeing the pastors as God. They do nothing unless the scamming pastors give the go ahead. Fake pastors sleeps with their wives and fiancees and all you hear is that don't judge a man of God( god of men actually).

They eat your tithes and hire security with high tech security systems at home, flying private jets but tell you to pray.

Shameless people...

No wonder ....it is your nature


Nigeria Christians are more Pentecostal. The more Pentecostal a nation is by population, the more hate spreads. The thriving wheel of Pentecostal churches are three:

1. Miracles
2. Gospel of hate
3. False cry of persecutions.

Job wasn't a Christian though an upright man approved by God.

He was tested on all fonts. I wonder what a Christian would say if s/he gets a Job treatment from Yahweh. Na to dey blame one non-existent village people.

Abeg, na God created demons too. Whoever God wants them to infest they infest.

Re: Can A Born Again Christian Be Possessed By Demon? by Fredmatic(m): 9:09am On Oct 03, 2021
Yes and No

Yes because the body of a Christian can be possessed or oppressed by demons not the spirit when you give room to them by certain life style you live. This can be cast you during deliverance session.

No because one who is genuinely born again can't be posses in the spirit where God stays. While the body may be possessed or oppressed by demons at point in life. The spirit on accept one lordship either God spirit or demons and not both at same time.
I hope you get the understanding

Being born again is simply new birth in Christ. You have accepted a new reality and salvation in eternal life.

There is also the baptism of the holy spirit, a believer who is baptised in the holy spirit can not be possessed by a demonic spirit but can be tormented by a demonic spirit.

When Jesus Christ was baptized with water the spirit of the lord descended on him like a dove and he was lead into the wilderness.

He was tempted by the devil but not possessed by the devil.

So you must understand the difference btw posses and tormented or influenced.

Pagan Trinitarian/or Pauline Christianity was a mix of Pagan Religions completely devoid of the monotheistic Message of the True Prophet Jesus. Thus if you wish to see the True Prophet Jesus you must look elsewhere

It's 100% impossible for a practicing Christian to be possessed by a devil. Never happened and wouldn't happen in this life.

If you're a baptised, born again Christian and is having a problem, rule out ancestral curses. Look for a solution and avoid wasting your prayers on whatever sin you think your ancestors did or didn't do or committed.

You can't be curse but you can fall victim to ignorance and be destroyed.
