I work and live in a community with many Hindu and Muslim people and I've been bothered by the way some of their children act. Now I know some people just don't disipline their kids, but sometimes it seem more than that. Is it possible that some of these kids could be posessed because of their relious beliefs?

I'm not sure if it would be because of their religious belief, but I certainly don't see anything in Scripture that rules out the possibility for demon possession among children.

Mar 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
Mar 9:18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
Mar 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
Mar 9:20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
Mar 9:21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
Mar 9:22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
Mar 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth.
Mar 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Mar 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, [Thou] dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
Mar 9:26 And [the spirit] cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
Mar 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
Mar 9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
Mar 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
Another instance
Mat 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
Mat 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Hope this was a help to u sister
God bless

Thanks for the verses. I just thought about the OP and hadn't looked up any scripture yet.
MrF, I wonder of they are more prone to demons because they worship them?

It may certainly be the case. However, I would say there would have to be other factors in play - some which we may be able to figure out, some which we may not. I say that because, well, there's a lot of kids out there who aren't Christians, but they certainly aren't all demon-possessed, ya' know?

Amen all children are NOT possessed.
Thank God for that.
But I would be willing to say that there are quite a few and im speaking of the teenager now and pre teens
My my my
And all those who are possessed arent foaming at the mouth and falling into fire and such but are still possessed.
Look at the young people today, so many of them Blaspheming the Lord and His Holy name
That is DEMONIC WITH A CAPITAL D
Cursing their parents and all such wickedness as this
killing their parents, their entire family
this is Demonic
The Word of God tells us how Mary Magdalene had seven demons
who knows how many lost souls have demons because all are not to the point of being a raging lunatic where their minds have been completely taken over...
and like I said, who knows how many lost souls are demonic
I sure dont know but the tale tale signs are there if we just take a look at the depravity of their wickedness
anyway, my thoughts on it.
God bless

I wanted to add these scriptures to what I said above about the young people so blatantly blaspeme the Lord and His Holy name in this day and age
Here are some scriptures that show us how depraved and demonic that is
The Great Tribulation
Rev 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Rev 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months.
Rev 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Rev 13:9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
The wicked here in the Great Tribulation blaspheming the Lord
Rev 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Hope this helps as well
God bless

Wanted to add this thought and the scripture as well
We see our young people who will NOT acknowledge God's existence
Now the Word of God says in the Book of Romans chapter one that the KNowledge of God was put into all and that He was the Creator and they would stand without excuse
And to sum this up everyone knows there is a God,they know that He is the Creator because God's Word says they do
Now to see anyone, young or old to say otherwise is depraved and I believe demonic
why is that preacher?
well lets go to the Word
1Jo 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
If they will NOT acknowledge the existence of God, would they acknowledge Christ , God's Son?
so that makes that lost soul antichrist
meaning he or she has a spirit of antichrist and yes that can be in our young people and yes that is Demonic
1Jo 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Hope this helps as well
God bless

I disagree. We humans, no matter what the age, are quite capable of these evils all on our own. Blasphemy and murder aren't sure signs of demonic possession.

I have idea for you stampinlady:
Get on your knees and ask the Lord for a Spirit of discernment or word of Knowledge. Then armed for battle, go out there and cast those demons out.
Take back what belong to the Lord

There is no such thing as "possession" because demons cannot own anyone. The KJV usage of the word MAY have been ok 400 years ago but a more accurate term in today's english is "demonized."

I had an eight year old red headed, freckled faced boy in Church this morning that I was throughly convinced wa possessed or possibly even the antichrist.
But I was wrong, for after Chruch we visited and I found out he was hurting because his parents were fighting and he was looking for attention.
I wish they were all that easy to deal with.
Thanks

Children can definitely be demonized, just as an adult. Earlier this year, I was at a friend of my wife's house and had to cast a demon out of a 15 year old girl. The girl was very promiscuous, into drugs, and even dabbling in witchcraft. I was sitting in the kitchen with my wife's friends son, answering questions about the Lord when my wife told me that she had seen a dark shadow enter into one of the bedrooms. So I got up and entered the room she said she saw it enter. The lights were off and I thought that I was alone. I spoke aloud into the air, "In the name of Christ Jesus I command any unclean spirits to leave." All of a sudden out of the corner of the room, the girl jumps up and starts screaming at me, in something of a man's voice. It's voice was very....gutteral/feral?, and the voice was speaking to me in the third person. Things like, "She's mine..." etc.... I had never experienced anything like that in a child before, but know for sure that it's definitely true, and it's actually moer common than many people want to recognize.

Aww, thats sad. Is he better now that you have spoke with them?
Yes, he was just lonely, hurting, and confused. He is coming over friday and he, some of the other children and I are going to run remote control nitro cars at a track I built on the back of the Church property.
I have also set up a visit with his parents (they do not attend our Church) to see if I can help them in thier situation.
But yes, as indicated in Scritpure; Children can be possessed.

The bible speaks of 'youths' being possessed, but not children.
Nor have I ever heard of a child being possessed in any testimony or such.
I believe that as much as some will argue this, age of accountablity does play a factor in many areas of life. Demon possesion is one of those, and 'possibly' even salvation.

Here's another take on this... why would the demons possess someone they have already conquered? I mean, the purpose of demons is to do the work of Satan, and his battle is against God. If these people are already not turning to God, then are they active? I'm not really sure... just throwing this out there.

I am reading a book called The Bondage Breaker, and the author tells many stories such as this one. It is more common than we realize, probably because we never confront the demons.

I don't have one particular scripture reference...and I'm not completely sold on the "Age of Accountablity" idea.
However, as I said, there is no scripture on a child being demon possessed, and I've never heard of any preteen being possessed.
As for salvation, some theologians have stated they believe Christ has a special way with children who die young...by covering them with his blood.
Most theologians who believe this get this idea from Scripture in it's entirety, and by Jesus' character in general.
Scripture has shown that God can make anything happen....even if it 'seemly' bends His rules.
I will not agressively push this view though, although when I get to heaven, if I was to find it true, it would not suprise me at all, as God has said in his word that children are special to him.
As for youths, they are undoubtably fully accountable as adults, and are completely open to being demon possessed.

Robert, I am not being argumentative here, just inquisitive.
At what age do you think it proper to draw a line between child and youth?

You're right. It is much more common than many people realize or want to accept. Much of the Church has neevr been taught about demons or taught how to deal with them if they did recognize them at work. There's so much that vast segments of the Church are clueless concerning.
