Ah, I see. I think there is a difference. In my experience, people who are "spirit-possessed" (demon possessed) are under the complete control of the possessing spirit. Then there are those who "possess a spirit" because it's gained a stronghold in their spirit, typically through sin. I believe, based on my experience, that the spirit(s) that a person may possess will work to oppress the individual until it gains complete possession.

b/ The distinction you're making between "fallen angels and unclean spirits" seems artificial.
Correct me if I'm mistaken on this but: What were those "unclean spirits" before they became "unclean sprits"? Weren't they angels... before they fell... thus they're fallen angels?

No. I don't believe they were... therefore I don't believe they are.
