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)
