Will you call him back
Is the fact allowed? Is there reasonable proof that this man has or does cast out devils? If there is, do not forbid him — no, not at the peril of your soul. Shall not God work by whom he will work? No man can do these works unless God is with him (John 3:2), unless God has sent him for this very thing. But if God has sent him, will you call him back? Will you forbid him to go?
