Pagan friend casts out demons from houses-- House divided against itself verse meaning?

So hes casting it out with his own spirit and faith? not Satans? Does the verse about about a house divided stand here? Christians help me out.

Update:

    He is a friend. Let him have his fun. He performs rituals that require no power on houses that are the same before and after his performance. Be calm.

    I am a pagan, and my family have been pagan for a long time. Pagans dont believe in demons. We think to name and believe in something evil gives it power, so we dont. instead we put our faith and thought in things like helping others, planting trees, helping old ladies across the street. Were pretty much boyscouts of religion:)

    anyways, are you trying to start a fight or something. why ask christians to back you up on an issue that is so clearly not pertaining to them in the slightest. What the hell do they know about paganism?

    Put several sticks together and let it stand by itself and see if they will not collapse. Put the same sticks and tie them together and observe the possibility that all may stand specially if you try spreading the bottom a little wider than the top. Is Christianity to you that strong as a religion of the world while you see them with so many denominations with everyone claiming that they carry the truth? Why do you think that inspite of their collective prayers everyday for peace, it looks that peace have been so evasive? Is President Obama succeeding with all his proposals by the way all our elected officials are dealing with him? Do you think his proposals are not good or do you think that there really are people within the government who will oppose him no matter how good his project is?

    Pagans don't believe in demons. Your premise is incorrect. The pagan is not Satan and the Pagan does not use the devil to cast out a devil. Only Christians believe in the devil.

    .

    mark 3:23-2723And he called them to him, and spoke to them in parables, ‘How can Satan cast out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but his end has come. 27But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his property without first tying up the strong man; then indeed the house can be plundered

    I recall a story in the NT where the disciples saw a man casting out demons in the name of Christ and this person was not even a follower of Jesus.

    This upset the disciples and they told Jesus about it.

    Upon hearing this, Jesus, simply replied, "If he is not against us then he is for us."

    So, even though this guy was not a follower of Jesus, he still exorcised the demons and Jesus didn't even mind.
