Are they still saved, or are they no longer saved, I don't know, but if I can point them to HIM, either way He's capable to take care of it.
Response: Bill I see people returning to a right relationship with Christ as deliverance.
I guess that's my point, I have seen alot of craziness in the name of "deliverance", and I've seen many "Christians" seeking deliverance and blaming their problems on the things they need delivered from rather than focusing on our personal responsibility to grow in Christ.
The main thing most people need delivered from is themselves.
