Can a person have the Holy Ghost and be demon poss

[mfblume]

You would not call it demon POSSESSION if someone had a spirit in them without it absolutely controlling them. DEMON POSSESSION is like SPIRIT FILLING in terminological implication. Not that the Spirit of God is evil. lololol. PLEASE note that disclaimer. Spirit FILLING disallows anything else from entering. Demon POSSESSION also implies nothing else but the devil is in a person. There are degrees to indwelling presence of both God's Spirit and a demon spirit, though.

The folks who did SEARCH FOR TRUTH bible study did a series called ABC -- and volumes 16-18 are about this very thing.

I agree and I think that is where the confusion has come in. Understanding FILLED vs not being filled.

Exactly.

The term Filled by very definition implies degrees.
