Are we being cryptic or do you simply not like that we have come to understand doctrines in ways that does not agree with what you believe?
I understand that devils, demons and angels are spirit beings without human form. All of mankind at birth through natural spirit within us are sinful at birth, sinful from the time our mother conceived us. The spirit (mind, heart, will, emotions) within natural man is naturally born in evil, otherwise the Bible would not say we are sinful at birth and must be born again. Being born in evil having our father, the Devil of us. That's why mankind from birth is sinful, and in need of casting out our old spirit that serves evil and becoming a new spirit that serves good. We can only become new when we are born again through the Spirit of Christ. When the Spirit of Christ comes into our spirit, man doesn't become the Spirit of God, neither before being born again does man become the spirit of evil in us. Man, simply has these spirits/Spirit within, we don't literally become spirit beings whether spirit angel of God, or demonic spirit of Satan. But as I've said, man is so closely likened to the s(S)pirit that rules over our natural spirit, that we naturally become like them in all our ways (thoughts, words, and deeds).
Angels are spirits without human form called messengers of God, and demons/devils are also spirits without human form and are messengers of Satan. When man is doing the will of God through the power of His Spirit in us, we too are messengers of God clothed in human flesh. Bible translations muddy the water by translating human messengers of God as angel. When man, through the power of evil spirits do the will of Satan (sin against God) they are messengers of Satan that Bible translations also call angels. An example of this is when we read about the angels of Michael and the angels of the dragon doing battle. When in fact it should read messengers of Michael and messengers of the dragon are battling for supremacy in heaven. In calling demons/devils angels instead of what they actually are, messengers of Satan, adds to the confusion that causes some to believe Satan and some of his messengers are created angels of God that were created good and became evil when they disobeyed God.
We know that cannot be true because God tells us in His Word His angels are ministering spirits "sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation".
@rwb said "We know that cannot be true because God tells us in His Word His angels are ministering spirits "sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation"."
God's holy angels minister to those who will inherit salvation, not the devil's angels.
They are called celestial beings.
They come and go from heaven where God is.
The ones who 'fell', fell to the earth. They left heaven to be with men on the earth, and they roam over this world seeking to devour and destroy.
Satan is called the prince of the power of the air
