Remnant Radio hosts Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, and Michael Rowntree provide a detailed response to Alisa Childers’ critique of deliverance ministry, particularly examining her claims about whether Christians can be demonized. The hosts challenge common misconceptions about demon possession versus demonization, arguing that the biblical Greek term “daimonizomai” presents one unified category of demonic influence rather than separate categories of possession and oppression. They emphasize that while experience shouldn’t be the primary foundation for doctrine, both Scripture and church history support the reality of Christians needing deliverance from demonic influence.

The discussion delves into practical ministry applications while maintaining strong biblical authority, examining how Hollywood has influenced modern understanding of demon possession versus the biblical portrait. The hosts argue that Christians have been given authority in spiritual warfare through their position in Christ, challenging the view that deliverance ministry is only applicable to non-believers. Drawing from both theological scholarship and pastoral experience, they present a balanced approach that acknowledges the reality of demonic influence while avoiding excessive focus on demonic conversations or manifestations. The conversation maintains a respectful tone toward different viewpoints within the Christian community while advocating for a biblical understanding that doesn’t leave believers without help when facing spiritual opposition.
