I'm afraid I'm pestering you with my questions! So here are these two passages
Matthew 7:22-23:
Many will say to me on that day,"Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?" Then I will tell them plainly 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
Mark 9:38-40:
"Teacher, said John, we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us."
"Do not stop him, Jesus said, no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us."
So does it mean that those in the first passage drove out demons by some other power rathet than God's? On the other hand, Jesus says Satan cannot drive out himself, for then his kingdom cannot stand.
I'm slightly perplexed.??????
