 Christians and demon possession part 4. Some say Christians can be possessed if they open a door. To justify this, Matthew 12.44 is often used. Then it says, I will return to the person I came from, so it returns and finds its former home empty, swept, and in order. Firstly, Jesus never said that this parable was in reference to someone who experienced salvation, only an exorcism. Secondly, notice that the individual who was repossessed was an empty vessel. We know that true believers are filled with the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6-19, so true believers aren't empty. Now, this isn't a license to open demonic doors. Yes, there are grave consequences to opening demonic doors, so don't open them. But if we want to stay true to the Word of God, we can't say that this results in demonic possession for the believer.
