Theres this certain individual that I know who has the most "EVIL" sounding laugh. And he always does it when he is mocking certain people. I pointed this very thing out to my pastor. But I pastor just kinda ignored me and gave me the "you cannot pay attention to people speech". Well, we cannot ignore behavior that can literally destroy an entire church! And when people go around trying to cast demons out of the unpossesed. IT CAN BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM!!!! It seems like this man thinks that alot of people are "possesed" with devils when they are not! I think that Its this man who actually has the problem! I know possesion can happen! But it does not happen to everyone!

Well this question revolves more around the Christian religion! Thats probably why you don't understand it.

Well, I'm not claiming that he is possesed! I'm asking whether or not it is possible.

It's impossible for a born-again believer to be posessed.

Preachers are just people, so yes--it is possible. However, I don't believe that this is the problem you are dealing with. A person's behavioral problems can effect a church body, and this is something that needs to be dealt with. But saying that a person is possessed it a serious claim and should not be said lightly, nor because of character flaws or grating qualities.

To be possessed by a devil or demon, implies that a person has to be 'owned' by a demon.
It means to be subject to demonic influence.
I believe every born again christian sincerely seeking to live for Christ belongs to Christ.
It is silly to suggest that such a person belongs to the devil.
Although...
a christian can have areas of his/her personality that have not yet come under the control of the Holy Spirit.
It is in these areas that may still be subject to demonic influence...

The Bible tells us that satan can seem as a bright light..... ppl will and are being fooled by him, and yes, satan uses who ever he can to spread the wrong message, it seems
true and good, but if you listen and watch and pray and let God guide you, the difference will become clear...... and right now in these times, a so called man of God is the best target for satan..... he not only gets the *man* but gets all those who believe he is leading them to heaven..... God bless
