I am baffled about this question: Does God recognize the sin of people who engage in it under the influence of spell and witchcraft?
For example, a person who commits adultery under the influence of curses or witchcraft and has no control over his freewill. I mean if the person cannot resist or has lost total control of himself and doesn't know what he is doing again.

Demons are the forces behind spells but they don't have any control over believers.

Because the believer's brain is functioning under the control of God's Holy Spirit so it's when the believer backslides that demons can take control and since demons are targeting believers they will come back in multiple folds {Matthew 12:43-45} all these is the result of backsliding:

When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone. But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn sin, when it has been carried out, brings forth death! James 1:13-15

Can a witch or spell make you sleep on a bed of hot coals?

People already plan to sin and so it is very easy for another person to move them into committing that sin.

In this case there is an entanglement of the flesh. Yes, demonic influences are real but demons cannot act in the absence of sin-whether the sin(s) be an action or a nature.

If a demon has full contol over a person, then they are demonically possessed. And this only happens to unbelievers. Unbelievers are already condemned by virtue of not believing in the only begotten son of God, Jesus Christ.

Christians can also be tormented or oppressed or influenced by demons because of ignorance but we can never be possessed by demons.

The root of this question is still thinking God is condemning anyone for sins. The only sin the Holy spirit would convict the world of is unbelief in the Lord Jesus.

If you believe in Jesus, there is no more record of your sins. All you do is receive forgiveness every time you fall into sin. Everyone in Christ is forgiven already and the blood of Jesus has cleansed us of all unrighteousness.

If you don't believe in Jesus, you are condemned and the wrath of God is upon you.

What about exorcism pastors or priests perform on Christians? Are the victims of exorcism not christians?

The only way to gain clarity of things is to focus on the reality and not what seems. There are false ministers and Christians for a reason. The Word of God is the truth and reality, anything that contradicts it is not of him.

Don't your pastors conduct deliverance in church where they cast out evil spirits?
They are not men of God, right?

If you claim that God does not protect unbelievers and the wrath of God is upon them, what about the Jews who do not believe in Jesus and are still under the protection of God? I hope you have heard about God protecting Israel in wars?
