Randy White uses the story of
the Geresene Demoniac to teach about exorcism. A man who was demon possessed had
been made well.
The
world uses the word exorcism to
refer to any kind of removal of demons. However, the Bible uses the word exorcist only
one time, speaking of the sons of Skeva. The word means "an intensified oath."
It is a word that speaks more of incantations and witchcraft than the work of
God. Though Jesus and the Apostles cast
out demons, they are never said to be exorcists.
Thus, a Christian
exorcist is an oxymoron.
