I always thought that all of them were possesed except Isaac AND Eli. and that Eli was He Who Balks behind the rows himself, incarnated in a kid. Maybe I'm wrong.

All of them are possessed by the deity except Isaac. Even Eli, He Who Walks Behind the Rows possesses Eli just like he does all of the other child leaders and uses Eli to preach his teachings. Then he takes his wrath by transforming into the alien looking thing in the end. Just like in COTC 2 when Micah's face transforms into the demon one. That's HWWBTR coming out of the possessed Micah. So they've all been possessed except Isaac. He's the original leader the true leader and that will always be the case.

I think that Isaac wasn't possessed persay at the end of COTC but more like rejuvinated with some of the powers of HWWBTR. Because if you'll remember HWWBTR was never really shown in COTC as a person it was just a bump under the ground and a type of shadow that could move the earth and clouds. Another reason that stipulates my reason is that in COTC 6 Isaac wakes from the coma but he's not HWWBTR because Gaberiel is but Isaac does have some powers and things in 6 as well. Like the whole not dying when he electricuted the doctor. Hope this helps with that. And yes Josiah was a ghost but he was possessed by HWWBTR. His spirit was sold to the dark side by the traveling preachers so when he died he still had that connection to HWWBTR because the deity had his soul. So Josiah came back to gather the children. Also Abel in COTC 7 was a ghost as well. It doesn't give you much of a back story on him other than he too was a traveling preacher and the leader of the children during the time he died. He along with the other children died during a tent revival when the tent caught on fire. Hope this helps. Let me know if you want to know anything else.

I think Eli was possesed but the reason you see the huge demon creature at the end is that he was possed much longer then the other children. Micah, for example, was only possed a few days and so the deity didn't have much chance to "take root" (no pun intended). But Eli had the connection with HWWBTR inside him for decades so he slowly transformed into something LIKE HWWBTR.

hes just a demon that does his bidding i think, though later in the film he hints to the preist that he is though, must be a goof

Um , actually only Micah , Ezekiel , Gabriel and Abel were possessed ! Josiah became " He-Who-Walks-Behind-The-Rows " ! Eli was basically a supernatural science experiment by Josiah/HWWBTR : a child who would never age with The Deity
s supernatural powers . Essentially , Eli was The Corn Cults Jesus just as Isaac was their Moses !
