About Janko Expertise I am a qualified minister of Jehovah`s Witnesses and fully capable of answering any or all questions on our faith as well as others too, and the correct understanding of the Bible,which is God`s Word.
Experience My experience with our faith is quite substantial and was introduced to it in the 1960's as a child.
Question I don't know why my question and your answer hasn't reached the forum yet, since it wasn't meant to be a private question.
I follow it up with another question.
Are you saying that people are no longer able to be demonised?
Let me suggest that the spiritual battle is still on and you and I are in the middle of it.
Being a Christian I have no fear of demons. I take to heart:
1 John 4:4 (NIV)
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
I have no fear because as a Christian the Spirit of Jesus is within me.
I affirm this verse:
Romans 8:9
You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
My personal experience with casting out spirits is that evil spirits are terrified of the Name of Jesus Christ. They hate being reminded of the fact that Jesus defeated the forces of darkness when he poured out his blood on the cross. They know that judgement awaits them.
Anyone who has had experience in casting out demons in the Name of Jesus Christ will say the same thing - demons particularly hate the following verse.
Revelation 12:11
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

Question -
Hi again my friend Janko,
In a previous post you said:
"Who do you think imitates him and his disciples in the first century as we do?"
As I read the Greek Scriptures, I discover the overwhelming recurring theme of the disciples and the early Christians going throughout the world witnessing to the name of Jesus Christ.
They spoke of power in the name of Jesus Christ.
My question to you this time is:
Given that you believe you are imitating Christ and his disciples, do you or other Witnesses have any up to date experiences of seeing people healed in the name of Jesus or demons being cast out of people in the name of Jesus Christ?

Answer -
No,that was all done away with when the apostles died and the Bible was complete.
Answer I never said there wasn't demons present in the world and that they try to possess people as well.What I said was that there is no more demon expelling or hands on healings in our day and time,as the Bible clearly says that the speaking of tongues,healings,angel citings and partial knowledge will be done away with when the Bible was complete
which was a long time ago and what you see evangelizers on T.V. or at seminars is a hoax at best and or Satan even giving a helping hand to help them decieve people into believing it,as you seem to do.
