Can Christians be demon possessed?

Can Christians be demon possessed? Are there many Pentecostals who believe they can?

ummmmm, definately NO!

demons cannot abide in a vessel that is filled with the Spirit of God and vise versa....

which leads us to the classic "oppression" vs "possession" debate....

When I was a 19-20 years old still considered youth at church....
One of the Girls is church that was H.G. filled: she would shout dance and pray in tongues all the time.
Then one day at her house her family and I was setting around the dinning room table, her mother asked "what's was wrong"?, then mother said "something inside you is getting made ain't it?"
The girl said "yes, mom you are scaring me."
So mom said "let's pray." We prayed and the girl "Roberta" took off shouting like she always had and went into the living room.
I walked in there to and watched as her mom was rebuking a spirit out.
Roberta was freaky looking at this time, and in a growling voice said, "You can't have her, she's mine." and the I heard speak in a wicked sounding dialect of tongues.
I then called the Pastor to get over here.
Pastor showed up, looked at Roberta sitting in a chair, studied her and said, "Roberta", and she was back to normal.
And the he prayed with her back thought to the H.G.
I was very confused.
I asked my pastor how can this happen to a H.G. filled Christian?
He told me that Roberta had a lot of confusion in her life.
I did not know it but she had a weakness and sin in her life.
My Pastor said the devil used this confusion as an open door.

Those who call themselves Christians can.

If anyone plays with spirits it can be a dangerous thing...

Those who call themselves christians. Judas did not have the HG as we do after the day of Pentecost.

He did believe and then had his spirit issues surrounding his death.

I do believe that we as Christians need to be very careful.

We may need the refilling of the HG.

God will not reside himself in the heart or body, while some folks of God perform and committ the vial acts they commit....

If this is not the case then you believe in the doctrine "Once saved always saved".
