Re: Can a person have the holy ghost and be demon
It is not cohabitation. This is the key. The Spirit of God and the devil cannot abide in the same "room". Man has compartments in him, to use a crude example. Spirit and soul are not the same thing. When we are carnally minded and think bad things, the Spirit of God does not dwell in our souls. He refuses! We hem Him in our spirits when we mind earthly things that are wicked. So a spirit has the potential to enter the soul of a person, when the Spirit of God is not influencing that "compartment" of our beings.
God cannot co-inhabit a room with the devil.
Possession is not indwelling. Possession is CONTROLLING all a person when indwelling. But a devil can indwell a person without possessing them just as God's Spirit can indwell a person and not FILL them. We need FILLING of the Spirit to be gained and maintained.
