<![CDATA[The phenomenon of demon possession among Christians remains a subject of debate in contemporary Christian theology because it is closely related to the doctrines of salvation, the work of the Holy Spirit, and spiritual warfare. Different interpretations of biblical texts have given rise to theological positions that either reject or accept the possibility of demonization in the lives of believers. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of demon possession among Christians from a theological perspective and to formulate pastoral implications for the contemporary church. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach through a descriptive-critical analysis of relevant biblical texts and theological literature. The findings indicate that the Bible affirms the reality of demon possession but provides no explicit evidence that genuine believers can experience complete control by evil spirits. Nevertheless, Christians may still face spiritual oppression and attacks. Furthermore, phenomena often identified as demon possession may also be influenced by psychological and social factors. Therefore, churches need to develop an integrative, biblical, and responsible pastoral approach in addressing such cases.]]>
