The Bible clearly teaches the existence of angels as mighty created spirit beings, whose chief duties are to worship and serve God. They are not a race, they do not reproduce, but are a company created to minister to the heirs of salvation. There are two classes of angels, elect and fallen, and man is forbidden to worship either. We may define angels in following way; Angels are created beings with moral judgement and high intelligence, but without physical bodies.

It is necessary that Christians be taught sound Bible doctrine and that all doctrine be tested by the full context of the infallible Word of God. This works inline with the formula of systematic theology. Doctrine received, believed and practised determines a person's character, behaviour and destiny.
The Christian Doctrine

It's not only important WHO you believe in, it's also important WHAT you believe about the WHO you believe in. What we believe about him determines the Jesus we believe in. It's not doctrine but people and the way they handle doctrine that divides the church.
The Doctrine of Revelation
June 22, 2010 • Paul Goffin • Job 11:7, 1 Corinthians 1:21
God desires to reveal Himself to all of mankind. God creating man with mental and spiritual faculties which can lead man towards a search for God. However, since the fall of man, these mental and spiritual faculties have been blunted so mankind needs to be lead to God. Thus God, in grace and love, has taken the initiative by giving a progressive revelation of Himself through Jesus. Man can only personally know God through Jesus.
