Demon possessed after conversion

I think I’ve seen this argument against TB half a dozen times today, including by a rather vicious commenter here on this blog. (I deleted it and emailed him and asked him to re-post the comment without the name-calling. )

The argument runs thusly: Todd Bentley says he was demon-possessed after he came to Christ. Ergo, he’s no minister and no Christian.

I haven’t investigated what Todd REALLY says about it (I will, shortly), but I can attest that I was demonized (possessed? oppressed? opposed? Doesn’t matter what you call it – they were there and needed the boot) for several days after I came to Christ. Don’t tell me I wasn’t yet saved – I know that I was saved better than I know my own name. They were there because, as a witch/bisexual/drug dealer and a few other things equally seedy, I’d invited them in. I had to un-invite them.

I’m not sure what would have happened, had I continued in that state – but the question is moot since God Himself led me in deliverance and I was set free from the demons, sprawled on the restroom floor at Arrowhead Campground, July 31, 2000.

Oh gosh. I just found the video, and I’m seriously about to fall on the floor laughing. The same folks that kvetch about the demons are also hooting and hollering about TB having gone to <gasp> MASS with <gasp> some [charismatic] <choke> Catholics! <gasp choke wheeze> … then he joined a <scream> home group of these charismatic Catholic folks, and the audible voice of the Lord told him that he had a demon and should seek deliverance. Deliverance came and was dramatic. His story sounds so much like my own, it’s uncanny…

Here’s a clip (posted by, ironically, someone who calls herself saur-kraut… so saur that I won’t be linking to her blog.)

    Hi, I just came across your site by searching “todd bentley nightline”. I was hoping you could tell me what are the main things that convince you about TB’s authenticity. I went to Lakeland 20-29 May and was convinced there but since this Nightline report came out and my family challenged me as to what my belief was based on i found that i couldn’t answer them. I felt Todd was real, but feeling isn’t discernment. I’m sure you know all the controversies surrounding TB, so there’s prob. no need to go into that. So I was just wondering as a fellow believer what makes you most believe he’s real. Thanks.

    Vanessa,
    I guess discernment is the thing that many believers don’t have and thats being honest. Most denominations don’t encourage it. No matter what we feel about anyone its what the Holy Spirit tells us.

    Vanessa – the lame walk. The blind see. The deaf hear. I was healed myself. People are getting saved by the droves. They’ve baptized many folks who’ve been saved at the meetings and they’re getting them plugged into good churches so they can be discipled.

    Jesus gets the glory for everything.

    Nightline’s “reporting” was about as biased as bias gets. I wouldn’t fault them for showing both sides of the story – if they’d interviewed Rev, for example, they should interview me, too.

    I posted an offer on their site – I’ll get them my medical records showing that I needed to have my gall bladder out and my doctor insisted on it being done immediately… it’s fairly simple to show that it’s not been removed … and ABC can send me to any doctor they want to examine me.

    Needless to say, I’ve not heard a word back from them. :) (was anyone honestly surprised?)

    BTW, Rev… discernment and fear of the unknown are two very different things.

    Kathi your are correct there on discernment and fear. My spirit does not confirm what yours does. But we have become quite civil over this anyways. I have been healed and can produce the evidence as can you, I believe what I saw was they couldn’t get any of those who claimed to be healed on the phone or in person to confirm their healings. I didn’t actually see the interview, but thats tid bits I get from people who did
