Originally posted by Rajk999As far as shedding light on the topic, the passage has no relevance. It is by no means a commentary on salvation, let alone an emphatic point of doctrine. You recall another situation wherein demons were involved, when the seven sons of Sceva--- thinking magic existed in the words--- attempted to use the names of Paul and Jesus to work their own miracles. We know how that worked out.
Whats the relevance of this passage :
1] Luke 9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
Clearly, inasmuch as they were lacking salvation, these seven brothers were not for Christ.
