    The man with the epileptic son - Mark 9:14-27

    The Canaanite woman's demoniac daughter - Matthew 15:21-28

    So I do not believe that those who say this are only using this as an excuse, especially if they have a record of success with casting out devils (and all success comes from God). Furthermore, I have not only heard this taught, not so only by faith preachers, but by some "deliverance" ministries that would not want to be associated with the faith movement.

    That being said, we must always be led by the Spirit of God in deliverance since it is by God's power, authority and direction that they are cast out and not by our own ability. That is true in all cases. If one is having difficulty getting a person delivered then they should always take time to ask God why rather than just saying, "this" or "that" is the reason.

    Amen and yeah that!, I should have prefaced my comment with that. If you're not led you can end up like the Sceva brothers whether you have a permission slip or not.

    I think main point was if a Christian was 'able' to cast a demon out of a minor without a parent or guardian's permission...hence the statement that they are lacking the spiritual authority to do so.

    You're not guaranteed protection from authorities, etc, just because it was God's will for it to be cast out. See Paul and Silas after they cast python out of the woman. Obeying God can get you in trouble legally. It's just a part of obeying God sometimes. We don't operate in fear and being afraid of the consequences when we obey God.
    Absolutely. Good point and excellent Scripture quotation that makes the point clear. There is no guarantee that we won't be persecuted. Nonetheless, I read Krystian's question as one coming from a "spiritual covering" standpoint and not a LEGAL standpoint, and that is what I was responding to. I did not consider the LEGAL (secular) aspect of it until reading FB's posts.

    In a slight dispute we could also say that God would not let anyone go to hell because of His love. We would both be right. BUt Jesus did say in Rev. 3:20 that He will stand at the door and knock. But the person must open the door before Jesus will come in and sup with him or her. In other words, Jesus will not violate the principle of free-will in order to force His will. Now whether this applies to a demon possessed child or not, I don't know. But if it is a principle of "spiritual covering" then would Jesus violate it?

    Not asking the question because I have the answer because I don't. The question is more from a discussion sake.

    Yep. Those demons need no "parental consent" to beat you if you are not connected to Jesus

    I understood your point from the get-go.

    BTW, I think you and I may have seen the same discussion on Facebook because as soon as I saw your thread it brought me back to an argument I saw on FB with some of our mutual friends yesterday

    That really doesn't answer the original question. VW was just using that to show that parents sought it out in those two cases. What if Jesus had come across those in another circumstance without the parents around? Would He have cast them out? I say yes.

    Here's one. The widow at Nain. Jesus had compassion on the mother and raised the kid from the dead. He didn't ask permission, he just did it due to his compassion.
