Angels

Holy Angels

We teach that angels are created beings and, therefore, are not to be worshipped. Although they are a higher order of creation than man (Heb. 2:7), they are created to serve God and to worship Him (Luke 2:13-14; Heb. 1:6- 7, 14; Rev. 5:11; 19:10; 22:8-9).

 Fallen Angels

We teach that Satan is a created angel (Ezekiel 28:13-15) and the author of sin (Ezekiel 28:15-16; I John 3:8). He incurred the judgment of God by rebelling against his Creator (Is. 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:14-18), involving numerous angels in his fall (II Peter 2:4; Rev. 12:9) and introducing sin into the human race (Romans 5:12) by his temptation of Eve (Gen. 3:1-6; II Corinthians 11:3).

We teach that Satan is the open and declared enemy of God and man (Is. 14:13-14; Matt. 4:1: Eph. 6:11-12; Rev. 12:9-10), the prince of this world who was defeated through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (John 12:31-33; Heb. 2:14; I John 3:8), and that he will be eternally punished in the lake of fire (Matt. 25:4 1; Rev. 20:10).
