Saints please help me with this. I am saved, delivered and baptised by the Holy Ghost I believe. However, my pastor says I am not because I always have nightmares. I have always had them since I was a child. I have prayed for the Lord to reveal if it is His Holy Ghost in me or demons?

Your pastor is an evil demon. Reject him and all his nefarious teachings. And you will be saved from your nightmares.
Go back to school and learn. Learn as much as you can and apply it in your life. There's a whole world out there you can explore and play in.
Well you'd better be careful. People with nightmares are destroyed in hell over and over. Their skin is ripped from their bones, and demons eat at their innards. The scream in agony for all eternity. And the vilest demon of all Satan will scorch your skin, and piss acid into your throat, as others scream and write in unending pain around you. This is your fate.
Good luck with those nightmares!
This isn't fundie; this is just very sad!
This poor kid probably doesn't know any better and is seriously being taken advantage of by an asshole, abusive pastor, and perhaps by the entire church. Constant night terrors are a sign of a emotional disorder and can be treated by a doctor.
Speaking as a former Pastor, I'd say it is demons. Let me ask you a question? Do you ever wake up, only to find your sheets wet, and a gooey, sticky substance covering your groin area? If so, you must immediately go to your pastor and tell him you are possessed with "Nocturnal Emissions." This demon is a wily one, as it places unsavory thoughts into your subconscious mind while you are sleeping. If not dealt with, you may begin to think about these thoughts on a daily basis, and eventually act out on them. Yep, you got demons, alright.
This is an argument for competency tests and psych evals for prospective pastors.
It is not outside the realm of possibility that your dreams are trying to tell you something. However, they are definitely not caused by demons.
Lily...
You poor little girl. Please, if you take any lessons from us cynics here at this site, remember this; your pastor is not a psychologist. Even if you continue to learn Christianity, and continue to believe, never trust your pastor, who is human, to know everything about a subject he has no training for. Please, go to a psychologist, and get a second opinion. Any one of dozens of disorders could be causing your nightmares, and many if not all are easily treatable. It'll be less stress and worry for you.
It's posts like this one that make me sad.
Lily, I suggest not going to your pastor for things like this. Or anything.

1- Become an Atheist. You'll have a much easier life without all that unjustifiable religion-based 'guilt' BS hampering you psychologically. Oh, and speaking of which, I suggest you see your physician; he may refer you to a clinical psychologist who'll probably prescribe you with medications that may clear up those 'demons'
2- If that's the attitude of your so-called 'pastor', then even more reason to become an Atheist. He'll probably say you're being 'Convicted' by the Holy Spirit. Well, if as you say you are saved, delivered and baptised by the Holy Ghost, and being a Christian involves a personal relationship with Jesus, in that case what the fuck does anyone else - least of all a snake-oil salesman/control freak of a 'pastor' have to do with anything, least of all your beliefs? Just tell him to fuck off, and 'No, pastor, you are the Demons. And then Lily's pastor was a living nightmare . '
3- ?????
4- Start thinking for yourself . Hey, works for me, and others besides.
