Some one told me that there are 4 Archangels named Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Oriel. Is this true ?

Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel
Michael and Gabriel appear in the Bible, Raphael appears in the apocryphal book of Tobit and Uriel appears in the apocryphal book of Enoch
It is widely believed that Raphael was the angel who used to stir the waters of the pool at Bethesda....He is generally associated with bringing good health and healing..
Uriel is believed to be the angel who destroyed 185,000 of the army of Sennacherib...He is also believed to be guarding the garden of Eden with a fiery sword..

3 out of 4 ain't bad. It's Uriel, not Oriel. An oriel is a bay window.

No.The Bible speaks of one Archangel.His name is Michael.
The prefix "arch" meaning "chief" or "principal" implies that there is only one archangel,the chief angel;in the scriptures,"archangel" is never found in the plural.
The only other angel mentioned by name in the Bible is Gabriel.
Raphael and Oriel are not mentioned in the Bible.They are teachings of Christendom.

There are more than four. Archangels are a rank of High Angel, not limited but do Include those four. Depending on what branch of Christianity you belong to, there may be more.
