Holy Angels

We teach that angels are a higher order of created intelligent beings than man (Heb. 2:6-7) who serve God with reverence (Ps 89:6-7) and obedience (Ps. 103:20). One of their assignments is to help believers (Heb. 1:14), working alongside them to advance God’s kingdom (Rev. 22:8-9). We teach that angels are created beings and are therefore not to be worshiped (Col. 2:18; Rev. 22:8-9).

Fallen Angels

We teach that Satan is a created angel who rebelled against His Creator (Is. 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:11-18) taking numerous angels with him in his fall (Mt. 25:41; Rev. 12:3-9). Satan and his demons are the enemies of God and His children (Mt. 4:1-11; Eph. 6:12; I Pet. 5:8). Their defeat was ensured at the cross of Christ (Col. 2:15; Heb. 2:14), can be appropriated by believers by faith (Mt. 17:17-20; Acts 16:18; Ja 4:7), and will be culminated by their everlasting torment in the lake of fire (Mt. 25:41; Rev. 20:10).
