What do you believe about guardian angels?

Are they different than the Holy Spirit?

Are they the spirits of loved ones who have already passed on?

I'm interested in hearing what everyone has to say.

I believe exactly as my Church teaches (which is Biblical). Everyone has a Guardian Angel (Matt. 18:10). Angels are spiritual beings created by God, therefore, they are not the Holy Spirit, who is the third Person of the Blessed Trinity. Angels are messengers and protectors of God's people. They are also not the spirits of dead loved ones. Human have souls, whch live eternally with, or away from, God. Angels are created as such and will always be angels.
After they were created, Lucifer, an archangel, rebelled against God and His Kingdom ("I will not serve") and was cast down with a third of the heavenly host, by Michael and his host ( Rev. 12: 7-9)

I believe that a person's conscience is a guardian angel. I also believe that we each have a spirit out there looking out for our best interests and they speak to us through our intuition, conscience and emotions.

I absolutely believe in guardian angels. I believe the same as Bluebird, except that I believe that we each have not just one but TWO guardian angels. And I'm sure that mine have rescued me from more near misses than I could possibly imagine, though there are a few that I clearly remember as being too close for comfort and/or coincidence...like the car going through a red light at a busy intersection and stopping mere INCHES away from me.

I make it a point to regularly not only thank God for the guardian angels He's assigned to watch over and help me, I also thank my guardian angels for all their vigilance and companionship.

Blue and Eagle, I ws taught as a child the same information you shared above, but I've never held tight to the idea of my guardian angels watching over me. And now I feel badly because I didn't really teach my kids to have faith in their guardian angles. It's not too late.

Anyone know a good book about angels? I want to learn a little more about this part of my faith.

I learned this prayer as a child and say it each morning:

Angel of God my guardian dear,
for whom Gods love permits thee here.
Ever this day be at my side,
to live, to love, to be my guide...
Amen

I always wondered if mine was someone I had known that had passed away or just someone God picked for me,and when do they become our Guardian Angels, at birth or sometime after?....Interesting thought!

I think they are "assigned" at the moment of our conception... new life, new soul, and those angels need something to do!!
