Doctrinal Statements

Doctrine of ANGELS

1. I believe that the first day of creation God created a large number of spirit beings [Daniel 7:10; Colossians 1:16], possessing personality with supernatural intelligence and power [Matthew 24:36; 2 Peter 2:11], without sin [Genesis 1:31; Jude 6], everlasting [Luke 20:36], and not able to procreate [Matthew 22:30; Luke 20:35-36]

2. I believe that Satan, originally called Lucifer, was created as the covering Cherub, closest to the throne of God. [Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:12-19]

   • Satan, through pride, fell, the first being to sin [Isaiah 14:12-14]

   • Satan took many of God’s angels with him when he fell. [2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Revelation 12:4]

3. I believe that these fallen angels oppose God’s will and hinder man’s temporal and eternal welfare. [Isaiah 14:12-17; Ezekiel 28:12-19]

   • Some of these angels are chained in darkness, reserved for judgment [Jude 6]

   • Others of these are free to roam the earth and interfere in the affairs of man. [Ephesians 6:12]

4. I believe that the majority of the angels remained faithful to God and were confirmed in holiness and were confirmed in holiness and are serving as ministering spirits, worshipping God and executing His Will on Earth. [Psalm 103:20; Daniel 6:22; 10:12-13; 12:1; Acts 12:7;23; Revelation 12:7]
