Who is Satan
We believe that Satan was
originally a creature of God of the highest order, but through pride he fell
and became archenemy of God, and the deceiver of humanity.
Satan wilfully opposes God and influences believers to substitute other revelations and experiences for those divinely given, and diverts believers energies into ungodly channels. His power is particularly manifested in occult practices such as demonic control, Satan worship, fortune telling and astrology. Though his powers are supernatural, they are strictly limited under the rule of a sovereign God. He was defeated at the cross and therefore his final doom is certain.
