Angels are totally separate entities from Christ's Church; they were created many millennia ago as messengers of God and to minister to and serve God and His people.

Angels are not the Church and are not saints and are not whom God refers to when He says that Christ will return with His Church at His physical return to earth.

There will be angels in attendance at that event, of course, but they are not the Church.

My Bible is a NKJV, Life Application Study Bible. Look up in your own concordance and see how it defines Saints. My clearly says Saints are any beings sanctified, set apart as Holy, including Angels. If I look up Angels, Angels are just Angels, there is no other definition.

So in the scriptures that say that Christ will return with His saints, it could very well mean Angels.

Mat 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
