Here's another one..
A charismatic friend, whom I consider to be one of the more sane ones, continually tries to get me to accept charismatic claims concerning demon deliverance, etcetera.
He mentioned a Jewish TV reporter named John Safran who was delivered of demons on camera by a deliverance ministry guy as good "proof" that this occurs.
I would like you to watch this video regarding this and let me know the problems based on Scripture.
Here's what I find to be hoky:
1) the potential demoniac comes to the deliverance ministry guy himself..and acts rationally when he is discussing prior to the
deliverance
2) the deliverance ministry guy submits him to a 20 page questionnaire to assess his potential for possession
3) the deliverance guy claims to know the history of the demon
4) the overall clown show approach..
Since when did Jesus or any of the apostles submit anyone to a 20 page questionnaire, and a technique similar to psychoanalysis, prior to casting the demons out? Hilarious.
Now, I can't explain what exactly happened during this video, but suffice it to say that a good actor obviously could have faked the whole thing. Maybe he needed a new gig, and wanted to become a poster child for demonic deliverance ministries..I don't know.
Anyways watch it and see what you think:

Think about whether this technique is biblical..does the Bible show anything like it?
I don't doubt that God could cause a demon to leave after the prayer of one or more of his children...so there's no issue with me in that regard. My issue is with those who make ridiculous claims, and who are obviously flaky. Listen to the words of the guy who is claiming to cast out the demons, claiming he knows where the demon has been in past ages. Hilarious.
I don't think Jesus or any of the apostles went through this sort of deliverance ceremony. What do you think? Is this the best proof that can be offered to me?
