In magic the gathering can a creature that came back from persist have its counters removed by giving it plus one one counters?
Yes. When a creature has both -1/-1 counters and +1/+1 counters, you remove one of each until the card has only one kind. So if a creature had 3 -1/-1 counters on it, and an ability placed 2 +1/+1 counters on it, you would remove 2 of the +1/+1 counters and 2 -1/-1 counters, so it remains with only one -1/-1 counter. This action is a state-based action. If anyone would like to see this ruling in the Magic Comprehensive rules, you may find it at 120.2

Counters will cancel out and be removed, but actual cards will not (they effectively cancel out, but they do not get removed unless other cards act specifically to remove them).This is a state-based effect, which means it happens faster than you can tournament legally react to it (you can react to cards or effects that try to add one of the counters, but once the counter effects the card you cannot do anything to stop the cancellation).People use this rule to keep creatures with "Persist" in play longer than they normally are.
