We believe that God created a countless company of sinless, spiritual beings known as angels to serve and worship Him. Angels are mighty beings, but they are under the full authority of God, existing to do His will. They are not to be sought for guidance, nor worshipped, but are sent to do God’s will, and especially to minister to those who inherit eternal salvation.

We believe that Satan was originally a mighty angel known as Lucifer. Through pride he sinned and led a great number of angels into rebellion against God, but he and his followers were cast out of heaven by God. As the originator of sin, Satan was allowed by God to tempt our first parents, who in turn rebelled against God and sinned, thereby coming under Satan’s dominion. Satan was disarmed by God at the cross, but he continues to rebel, acting as the god of this world and the ruler of the kingdom of darkness, blinding unbelievers to the Gospel and opposing and harassing the children of God. The victory won at the cross is presently being enforced by God through the Church, and will be consummated following the second coming of Christ, when Satan will be cast into the lake of fire to be punished for eternity.
