Is Jane the Son of the Devil?
1) Direct Answer
I won’t put that label on Jane. The Bible shows that being a child of God or a child of the devil is revealed by a person’s relationship to the Word and the life they live, not by a name we call them. God knows the heart; we discern by fruits.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Now notice what Jesus said: “You are of your father the devil” to those who rejected His Word and sought to kill Him (John 8:44). That was about their unbelief and deeds.
- The Bible says, “He that commits sin is of the devil… In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil” (1 John 3:8-10). That speaks of a willful, unrepentant practice of sin.
- “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:20).
- “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12-13).
- Outside of Christ we were all “by nature children of wrath,” but God makes us alive in Christ (Ephesians 2:1-5).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Sonship is about nature. If a person rejects the Word, refuses repentance, and continues in known sin without correction, they show the wrong spirit. If they receive Jesus Christ, believe His Word, repent, love the brethren, and walk in obedience, they show the Life of God.
- So the question isn’t a name—“Is Jane…?”—but the evidence: Does she believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Has she been born again? Are the fruits there? The new birth changes our nature and makes us children of God.
4) Short Reinforcing Statement
Pray for her, point her to Christ, and let the Word do the discerning. God’s desire is to save, cleanse, and make us His own.

Go wake Jesus

And then, 'course there was some of the great orthodox standing by that didn't believe this. And they had to answer to their congregation, and they said, "This man is Beelzebub. He has the spirit of Beelzebub [and Beelzebub was a devil, which is a fortune-teller, or a witch], and that's how he does that. It's a telepathy--that he reads their minds through witchcraft or something on that order--and this makes him a devil." Jesus had said to them that all manner of blasphemy shall be forgiven the son of men, except b...
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 3:E-43
I think we ought to stop here and deal with the thought that God's people have always been and always will be persecuted. You know that Genesis is the book of beginnings, and what you find started there will carry right on through the Revelation and never change. There we see that Cain persecuted and killed Abel because the latter pleased God. Then we see a perfect picture in Abraham's son of the flesh, Ishmael, who teased and fought the son of promise, Isaac. And there was Esau, who hated Jacob and would have kill...

...you vision seer, tell us who hit you. We'll believe you." They felt no virtue. The mocking clergyman said, "If Thou be the Christ, just pull Your hands loose and come down off the cross. We'll believe you." The devil said, "Perform a miracle here before me. I will bring somebody here; let me see You do something before me, and I'll believe You're the Son of God." Jesus said, "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." He never met the devil in the...

Oh, brother! You know, the devil takes his man, but never his spirit. That's right. God takes his, too, but never his Spirit. He took Elijah, but his spirit came upon Elisha; then came out on John the Baptist. He took his Son, Jesus, but the Holy Ghost come back in the church to do the same works. "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also," see. Keeps going on down. And the devil takes his man, but never the spirit. Them two spirits are still warring with one another, right on down.

One more comment I might make, Sis. You know what? Death met God one time. Did you know that? Death always... The devil never did believe, until He was dead, that that was the Son of God. He caught Him up on the mountain fasting, and he said, "If thou be the Son of God, take these stones and make bread out of them," see. That same devil lives today. Said, "If these divine healings is right, how about old Mr. Jones down here that sells papers---this old man in the wheelchair? Go heal him." See that devil? When He wa...
