“Fasting” was the best they knew how to deal with such situations at the time. Which sounds unfortunate because the biblical witness speaks directly of cleansing and regeneration. You can’t bottle the work of the Holy Spirit up in any rigid rule.
Being unable to address such things in a godly way set up the scene for problems later.

Well, the Lord said there are some demons which cannot be cast out, except by prayer
and fasting.
This is not in contrast to, or in competition with, "cleansing and regeneration." Why would youthink so?
