Mark 9:38-40And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part.

I am sure no one can know that, but I am sure SOME fit in that category today. Humans tend to want things orderly and in 'their' box of understanding.We must be sure we do not take the stand that includes those that are IMPOSTERS. Discernment is a quality long lost in a modern society. Now we can 'judge' people we never see or touch. TV and the net are sometimes an aid to Charltons, TV can make mice talk! Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

I suppose if one thinks only people Jesus specifically appointed and sent out could cast out demons, insisting that he had to be one of the 70 would make sense. I'm not saying you are doing that. Jesus, when accused of casting out demons by Beelzebub, asked if he cast out demons by Beelzebub, 'by whom do your children cast them out'. Jews had methods of exorcism, and apparently some of them worked. The Jews were astonished at His authority casting out demons. It could have been some of the 70 who cast out demons, but I think it is more likely that some people heard Jesus' message, believed that God sent Him, and cast out demons in His name. Maybe they saw Jesus cast out a demon or one of the apostles casting out demons in His name and imitated it. Btw, if anyone says they don't believe in miracles for today but believes Christians still cast out demons in Jesus' name, he's contradicting himself, since Jesus implied that casting out demons in his name is a sign/miracle
