If You've Been Saved - Can You be Affected by Demons?

This has been a tough topic for me - the idea that if you've been Saved, or Baptized or Christened, can you be affected by demons? More to the point, can you be possessed by demons? If you've been saved - that is.

My personal take on this situation is a bit different than many religious leaders would have you believe, and this might be a short post because I'm a bit afraid of angering anyone. So, let me say this before anything else: We've discussed my religious standing. We've also discussed my spiritual standing. I do not belong to any organized religion, but I was married Lutheran, and that was where our Pastor felt that I was just fine to take communion - even though I have never been baptized. In his eyes, I had come as close to being saved as a person can come, and it was good enough for him.
