...be possessed by the devil?...

...The Word of God Declares that believers’ bodies are the temple of The Living God,
and that there is no common tie between Him and the powers of darkness?

“And what concord hath Christ with Belial [Satan]? Or what part
hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the
temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of The Living God; as
God Hath Said, I Will Dwell In them, and Walk In them; and I Will Be
their God, and they Shall Be MY people” (2 Cor. 6:15-16).​

Since our bodies are the temple of God and The Spirit Of Christ Lives In us,
the devil cannot co-occupy the same sanctuary...

No, Christians are protected. However non-Christians can still be demon possessed.

I would also say no, as long as you believe in God and his only begotten son as our Savior who died for our sins, you are protected.

Can a Christian...be possessed by the devil?..

Not a chance..:)
Christians have mindmelded with Jesus and have therefore got him inside their heads as a bouncer to keep any nasties out..:)
"On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you" (John 14:20)

HOWEVER, that doesn't mean satan won't keep trying to get into our heads, so we should always keep our guard up;
"Don't give the devil a foothold" (Ephesians 4:27)
"Resist the devil and he'll flee from you" (James 4:7)

Heck he even had the gall to try to probe and sift Peter's mind looking for character flaws and weaknesses that he could make flare up-
Jesus said to Peter -
"Satan wanted to sift you" (Luke 22:31)

Kirk- "Report mister Spock"
Spock- "We're being probed Captain, source and origin unknown"
Kirk- "Shields up, red alert!"

I think a person who believes he is a Christian can be led astray by Satan. I think many are - they become prideful.
