The Doctrine Of Satan
We believe that Satan is a real and personal being, a fallen cherub (Ezek. 28:14-17) who led some 1/3 of the angels in rebellion against God (Rev. 12:4). We believe that Satan is a created being (Ezek. 28:13), a creature, and does not possess the divine attributes of omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence. He is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). Satan is angry and living on borrowed time, he is trying to inflict as much damage as he can on the human race in the little time that he has left (1 Pet. 5:8). Although Satan can harass and torment believers in Christ, he cannot possess born-again Christians (1 John 4:4). Satan’s end will be the lake of fire when he is cast into it by the Lord at the end of the Millennium (Rev. 20:10).
