Contradiction with Acts 19:12
The verse describes a similar phenomenon where handkerchiefs or aprons were used to heal the sick and cast out evil spirits, suggesting different methods of exorcism that could contradict the direct personal intervention seen in Acts 8:7.
Acts 19:12: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
Contradiction with Matthew 17:21

Matthew 17:21: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Contradiction with Mark 6:5
This verse suggests that Jesus could do no mighty work except heal a few sick people, which might contrast with the extensive casting out of unclean spirits by Philip in Acts 8:7.
Mark 6:5: And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them].
Contradiction with Mark 5:7-9
In this account, Jesus engages in a dialogue with the demonic spirit before casting it out, contrasting the immediate and non-verbal exorcism in Acts 8:7.

Contradiction with Luke 10:19-20
These verses imply that believers have authority over devils, which seems universally accessible, whereas Acts 8:7 indicates the particular empowerment of Philip in this context.
Luke 10:19-20: Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Contradiction with Matthew 12:27-28
The Pharisees question the power by which demons are cast out, bringing about a discussion of the source of authority or power, contrary to the straightforward account of Philip’s actions in Acts 8:7.
Matthew 12:27-28: And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:14
This verse recounts an evil spirit from the Lord tormenting Saul, contrasting the resolute expulsion of spirits in Acts 8:7 where evil spirits depart from people.
1 Samuel 16:14: But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. [troubled: or, terrified]
Contradiction with Luke 9:49-50
Here, someone not among Jesus' direct followers is casting out demons, which might contradict the specific empowerment in Acts 8:7.
Luke 9:49-50: And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
