We teach that Satan is a created angel and the author of sin. He incurred the judgment of God by rebelling against his Creator (Is. 14:12 17; Ezek. 28:11 19), by taking numerous angels with him in his fall (Matt. 25:41; Rev. 12:1 14), and by introducing sin into the human race by his temptation of Eve (Gen. 3:1 15).

We teach that Satan is the open and declared enemy of God and man (Is. 14:13,14; Matt. 4:1 11; Rev. 12:9,10), the prince of this world who has been defeated through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Rom. 16:20) and that he shall be eternally punished in the lake of fire (Is. 14:12 17; Ezek. 28:11 19; Matt 25:41; Rev. 20:10).
