ON JUDGEMENT DAY

Lot's daughters saved with Lot. Noah's sons saved with Noah.

Eze.14:20 Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

I understand why you might believe that the Bible purports this view. Unfortunately, this belief is held because of the unfamiliarity with the Bible.

As you read through the Old Testament, you will read about many people making all kinds of decisions. These decisions (choices) are made either: with God's direction; without God's direction. OK, now you have to understand where the direction comes from: the rules they were given to live by (they were very specific); directly from God; from Godly people
Many times the choices resulted in: things going just fine for a long time, things not going well immediately, things going exceptionally well. Then, you will see the consequences of those decisions. Very few reports in the Bible involve demonic forces, and when they do, people still have to withstand the consequences of their decisions.
It is very interesting to me that people God demonstrated his love, forgiveness, and blessings to people who were the most stubborn people: David, Solomon, Samson, Esther, Moses, Paul, Mary Magdelene, John the Baptist, to name just a few.
Read up on these people, and know their decisions...good and bad ones.....The Bible does not mention demonic forces with their bad ones, but the record shows definite consequences. These people are still respected. loved, and models of what God can do even when you don't always do what is right.

Yes, it is called the Law. You can read about it in the O.T..
The story of Moses doesn't stop at the deliverance by God from the Egyptians. It goes on to tell how the Justice System was set up, with Moses as Head of the Supreme Court. Gods Laws and the Justice system is what holds people responsible for thier actions. (The Law and Prophets were being taught untill John the Baptist.) To become son of the Precept or Law, would enable you to function as a representitive of God.

Exodus 20 . That verse hold people responsible for their actions. (cross reference is Roman 6:6)
Once you sanctify yourself, then you'll automaticaly leave out demonic verses. (guard yourself with the Words of God)

No. When the bible was written the main cause of all ill-will and even bad ideas were created by demons. Little has changed.

All of them that hold anyone responsible hold people responsible, and sometimes demons too. All people, including you, are responsible for their own choices.

The entire first chapter of Romans deals with humans and their rejection of God and what happens when they reject him.

It never mentions demonic beings or possession. It simply states that after you have rejected God within your heart, God will give you over to your own lusts and desires and darkened and depraved heart.

Yes! Galatians 6:7-8

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

James 1:13 When tempted, no man should say, God is tempting me. For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
