I see this the same way, though not a follower of Hagee, have seen him preach maybe a half dozen times, and it was the true gospel. Nobody is right about all doctrines, beyond the basic doctrines, a number of things there are only one's most plausible explanations, which can be wrong, which there are legitimate disagreements over among the saved. I've also seen Billy Graham, John MacArthur and Jack Van Impe lumped in with frauds and apostates, strongly disagree with what is slander and throwing stones over a whole lot to do over nothing, at faithful preachers of the gospel that saves. Satan also wants to discredit the faithful, "devil" means "slanderer," never forget. Which of you stand behind everything you've ever said? If there's a measure we're being held to perfection, to being 100% right, we may as all just forget about the faith, as the persistently imperfect damned in the flesh, wondering what Christ died for. Of course, that would be grotesque error, like a lot of things you see posted here.
Whatever, I don't see what is inconsistent that demons are fallen angels, though. God surely did not create inherently evil beings, to do all the things He hates. There had to be a rebellion. There are warring angels in scripture, and, just as Satan is called the devil, why not his follower angels demons? Also, hellfire is prepared for the devil and his angels: you'd not think, okay, the devil and his angels are accounted for, but demons some different evil beings, given a pass, or unaccounted for, of the damned spirits in scripture? These things make no sense. It would be very simple, were there a distinction, to say that everlasting fire is prepared for the devil, his angels and the demons. At very least there's no reason to make claims demons are something else, absent proof. In Matthew 8:29, the possessing devils also asked not to be tormented, before their time, which is consistent with the ultimate lake of fire judgement.
Catchy idea for a book, but not to be mistaken for sound theology, and why it's needed, when there are those struggling with Sunday School theology? What difference does it make, anyway, when how many angels can dance on the head of a pin is yet unresolved?
