Are there accounts of casting out demons of people among the church?
Are there accounts of casting out demons of people among the church?
There may not be any account in the Bible EXPLICITLY describing someone casting out demons of people among the church, but there are also no accounts EXPLICITLY indicating that such a thing would have never happened.
What could be found may be accounts that would not address necessarily whether these things would have happened or not, but these accounts may still at least be COMPATIBLE with this possibility.
1 Corinthians 4:19-20
Paul wrote "(to) the church (of) God being in Corinth" (1 Corinthians 1:2): "I-WILL-COME TO YOU soon, if the Lord wills. And I-shall-come-to-know not the talk (of) the (ones) having-been-puffed-up, but the POWER. FOR THE KINGDOM (OF) GOD (is) not in talk, but in POWER" (1 Corinthians 4:19-20).
This passage may not explicitly address whether casting out demons could also happen here or not, but this account may be at least COMPATIBLE with this possibility.
It was written about Jesus that "He-commands the unclean spirits with authority and POWER, and they-come-out!" (Luke 4:36). From this, the KINGDOM OF GOD could be described as COMING upon someone, as Jesus also said: "if I am-casting-out the demons by (the) Spirit (of) God, then THE KINGDOM (OF) GOD CAME upon you" (Matthew 12:28).
When Paul wrote "(to) the church (of) God being in Corinth" (1 Corinthians 1:2) that he would "COME TO" (1 Corinthians 4:19) them to make them know the "POWER" (1 Corinthians 4:19) of "THE KINGDOM (OF) GOD" (1 Corinthians 4:20), could it be that Paul may also have been able to COME TO them to also command demons with "POWER" (Luke 4:36) to come out so that the "KINGDOM (OF) GOD" (Matthew 12:28) would come upon them?
Galatians 3:5
Paul wrote "(to) the churches (of) Galatia" (Galatians 1:2): "(Did) then the (One) supplying you the Spirit and WORKING MIRACLES AMONG YOU (do it) because-of works (of the) Law, or because-of (the) hearing (of) faith?" (Galatians 3:5).
This passage may not explicitly address whether casting out demons could also happen here or not, but this account may be at least COMPATIBLE with this possibility. Indeed, casting out demons can be considered working "MIRACLES" (Galatians 3:5).
