Jesus Himself was confronted by the same concern: the Pharisees charged that he drove out demons by the power of Beelzebul. He rightly answered that "If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him" (Mark 3:26).
Do not confuse miracles with superstition. The Church has never been without the kinds of wonders described in the Acts of the Apostles. They glorify God. And that makes the demons tremble.
They glorify personalities. And that makes the demons tremble gleefully party.
Roman Catholicism is a cult of personalities...
“You seem to think that miracles granted to people who love Jesus and trust in Jesus, are to be set aside because they could be of Satan.”
I’m wary of anyone who wants us to base doctrines on such evidence, when we’ve been warned the enemy will try to manipulate us with just such evidence. It seems much more prudent to base doctrine on the Word of God, since we know the source of that communication with certainty.

Doesn’t seem to be a very good comparison to me. If Satan has counterfeited a miracle purporting to confirm to you that some “saint” is in heaven, this is not equivalent to casting out demons. It could very well be a lie designed to mislead you, for Satan’s purposes. There is nothing intrinsic in that kind of message that tells me that can only come from the spirit of God.

No, your church doesn’t display the same type of miracles that were described in Acts. Your bishops, who claim to be equivalent to apostles, don’t, for example, raise the dead, or speak in tongues, as described in the Bible (so that a crowd would all hear them in a different language). Show me something like that and maybe I would be convinced of their claims.
