this is my first post, so, hello everybody!
I was wondering what the reformed teaching on demons was? theres no doupt that casting out demons played a significant part in Jesus' ministry and i think I'm right in assuming demons are still causing problems today, I did a search of the puritanboard and out of all the things I've read on www.apuritansmind.com and other reformed protestant literature there doesn't seem to be great deal said on the subject.
what was the puritans views on the subject?
do demons simply get cast out when we're converted and therefore not a problem afterwards, hence the apparent silence?
I know that the time of the reformation and puritan era was also a time notorious for witch burnings and king james 1st of england even wrote a book called demonologie is this the reason for silence and what was the puritans involvement in this?
how can demons affect believers? can they get inside your head and cause dieseases etc
I dont mean to go on and on but having recently come out of pentacostalism having had some funny experiances(where everything from fear to a sore thoat is the result of a demon spirit) i just wanted to know where the line is drawn and what orthodox teaching on the subject is.
Thanks in advance to all the replys.
