It is possible if the person loses the presence of the Holy Ghost because of sin.

Is not possible. Two captain can't be in a bolt. A christian can be obsessed but not possessed.

To possessed means to OWN. meaning when you give your life to Christ God has taking over you. He's a jealous God and will not share His glory with any demon

As a born again Christian, remember u still have to yield or submit urself to the things of God.

The Bible says to whom u yield urself to obey , his servant shall ye be either to God or to the flesh.

The influence of the holy spirit reduces once a Christian starts sinning nd can easily stop hearing from God, so he can easily be possessed of the devil.

Yes we are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, but 1 John 3 Vs 7 says Do not be deceived, he that do Righteousness is Righteous even as God is Righteous.

Once a Christian is not forever a Christian, u must work out ur own salvation.

Jesus told a parable of someone possessed of a devil nd delivered, he said the devil goes nd come back to check if d place is empty nd if found empty, the devil will bring 7 more stronger demons than him to occupy the place.

The last part of your third paragraph has to be backed with the Bible otherwise it is garbage.

You will never find any verse to support it because it is a fragment of your own imagination, not what the Bible says.

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.

Let's put the question in another way: is it possible for somebody to be born again without being baptized with the Holy Spirit? The answer is NO, unless it's fake 'born again'.

Now another question is: is it possible for someone who has the Holy Spirit already in him to be possessed by demons? That is unthinkable! And of course, the answer is NO.

It's possible for a real born again Christian to be influenced to some extent by demons. But being possessed is a different thing entirely

If I may ask please which part?

Shall we sin or continue in sin nd expect grace to abound?
God forbid.

Sin can open the door for the devil bcuz once born again is not forever born again.

No a Christian can not be possessed


We have three levels of demon operation
Subjection
Obessession
Possession

Possession is the last stage where by someone is possessed. For any man to be possessed, the person must have denied Christ.
Hebrew 6:4-6

Hebrews | HEBERU

English
6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

English
6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

English
6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.



When a Christian who has the understanding of things in that passage such a person becomes possessed and ceases to be a Christian.

No a Born again Christian can't be possessed by a demon. You belong to God through Christ.
But a Born again Christian life can be demonize meaning certain part of their life is being afflicted by demons.

1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
It's not possible sir. When you're born again, God resides in your spirit. How do you expect another spirit to co-habit your spirit space with God? It's not possible. You're already one spirit with him.
You can only be oppressed by demons and not possessed by demons if you are born again.

Big Yes, if there is a lope hole or ladder which cryptic demons can hide... Being born again doesn't guarantee you heaven but being a God deciples who die everyday just like what Paul said.. We have many born against today which their lives are still full of hiding sins..
Re: Can A Born Again Christian Be Possessed By Demon? by OBA117(m): 1:18pm On Oct 03, 2021
The answer is capital NO....possession means ownership, the devil cannot own you.....but the devil can take advantage of any loophole(weaknesses) in any Believer's life e.g pride, anger, grudge, unforgiveness etc

Re: Can A Born Again Christian Be Possessed By Demon? by ronyman(m): 1:26pm On Oct 03, 2021
No... The problem here is that people don't know the difference between repentance and being born again. The repented man if he doesn't guard the seed in him well can be possessed. Infact every one who is not born again is possessed. Why do we keep malice, and hate, lust and other things it's cos we possess the structures of the devil in us. That will now be rooted out when the spirit of God (Ruakh) comes alive in our spirit man..

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.



You are talking nonsense, Christ and demons can't dwell in the same person. People like you make these evil spirits seem all powerful. Them never born that evil spirit that will come and possess a person in whom Christ lives.
Re: Can A Born Again Christian Be Possessed By Demon? by Sunnydoo: 2:18pm On Oct 03, 2021
No and No.

The Born again is a spiritual birth. Which happens only to the spirit of a man. Therefore, the born again cannot be possessed. The Spirit of God has taken over his spirit.

However, his soul and body can experience, maybe, obsession, oppression, depression, affliction, and suppression.

But the unborn again, will easily experience all including possession.

Finally, let live and sin no more as born again so we won't experience the however's.

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.
Yes, that's why majority of the countries breeding terrorists and troubling the world are majority muslim countries. The same religion of piss and shit that is responsible for a big part of the mess happening in Nigeria.

Oga, that's not true.
The moment you become born again you receive the spirit of God ( spirit within). The Holy Spirit and a demon can't dwell in the same body.
If you want to talk about"backsliding". That's a topic for another day.

Tough question.

Personally I think an evil spirit cannot live in a child of God and take charge of their lives.

Rather I think that demons can hurt, attack and try to frustrate a child of God and may even succeed in doing that.

My personal opinion.

I think the question should be reframed like this, can a born again Christian who is living consistently in Holiness be possessed? The answer I think is no. But yes if he is not consistently walking with God

No where in the Bible is there a suggestion that a born again person can be possessed by a demon.

However, the Bible records that a born again person can be demonized.

Simon the sorcerer became born again but was still demonized. There are other examples.

In essence, a born again person can behave like a person who belongs to the devil because they allow the devil influence them. It doesn’t take away their salvation, but it does cut them short and makes them unuseful to themselves and to the body of Christ.

These will likely be the examples of people who make it into heaven naked with no reward.
