CHARLES RYRIE’S DEFINITION

A demon residing in a person, exerting direct control and influence over that person with
certain derangement of mind and or body. Demon possession is to be distinguished from
demon influence or demon activity in relation to a person.

The work of the demon in the letter is from the outside, in demon possession it is from within.

By this definition a Christian cannot be possessed by a demon since he is indwelt by the holy
spirit, however, a believer can be the target of demonic activity to such an extent that he may
give the appearance of demon possession.
