I do not believe a person can be totally possessed and have the Holy Ghost. I do believe a person can have a demonic spirit and the Holy Ghost at the same time. I have spoken to several ministers that operate in the deliverance ministry and they have told me first hand they have cast spirits out of people that have the Holy Ghost.

Perhaps one way of looking at this is a house has several rooms. Each room is filled with different things. The human spirit may fill one and a demonic spirit another and the Holy Ghost may fill several.

I believe if a person is totally filled with God’s spirit then they would not lie or do anything contrary to God’s Word. But most folks do sin because there has been room left for the human spirit and/or demonic spirits.

Do you agree or disagree with the above statements?

The bible never describes us like that and to be baptized with the Spirit is to be totally filled. We are not the Travel Lodge where God is staying in one room and demons staying in another

How then would you describe sin cohabiting with the Holy Ghost. Because I know of Holy Ghost filled folks that have lied. Now if the Holy Spirit can not co-habit with sin, are you saying they lose the HG and get refilled after they repent?

How would you describe this?

Sis, in my own opinion (and that's all it is) I do not believe the the Holy Ghost will inhabit a man with a devil. I believe it is quite possible to sin even if one has the Holy Ghost because of a carnal nature as opposed to a demonic nature. I think we have more of a battle fighting our flesh than the devil.
