I believe in the Bible...and the Bible teaches us that, in the invisible realm, there exists both Angels and Demons. Demons are fallen Angels who left their "first estate" ...that is, they chose to follow Satan in a great rebellion against God. It was about 1/3 of all the angels that followed Satan in his rebellion. Satan's name was originally "Lucifer", which means "Light-bearer"...he was the most powerful and the most beautiful of the Angels. As far as having "spirit guides", the Word of God teaches that each of us have an angel which watches over you. In Matthew 18:10 it reads as follows: "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven THEIR ANGELS do always behold the Face of my Father is in heaven." So my answer is yes in the sense just written from the Bible...but NO, in the sense of having an angel to watch and protect you from dangers, etc. If you are unsaved, then the only spirit that can actually trouble you in any way, would be a "demon"..a fallen angel. If you ARE saved, then yes, God has appointed an angel to be present with you at all times...and can save you from death or such as when involved in an auto accident...etc.

I would say that no, we don't. I do believe in guardian angels, but I don't think that they are what is commonly referred to as "spirit guides". The only "spirit guide" we are supposed to have is the Holy Spirit, and He also is not what would be commonly referred to as a "spirit guide".
I believe that what are usually referred to as "spirit guides" are demons bent on deception and ultimately destruction.

The way I see it, yes and they are not spooks from another dimension or a dead relative come to warn us to behave. They are the persons that care about us, that pray for us, those that guide us to a better way of life; without asking anything in return. And by doing so teach us to do the same for others. Come to think about it Comparative Theology is full of non-phisically corporeal beings that mediate between man and higher spirit levels. All religions teach about Angels and could it be that these beings use those persons that were mention before, to manifest themselves in our lives? I think yes, they do. Therefore my answer is yes.

I'm from Africa a country known as Zimbabwe we do have some,they are known as spirit midzimus...they are meant to talk to the Gods for us because we are redeemed unworthy of speaking to the Gods by ourselves...so they are Gods post men in a way.Spirit guides exist but,but believing in them is another story.Personally I don't,you don't need someone to tell you what is wrong and what is right,you can figure that out by yourself.

My sister in Cincinnati claims we all have spirit guides, or guardian angels. She claims mine is named 'Simona', although I've never met her. But, I know my sister's spirit guide has taken her through some the most difficult times of her life, and also was there during some her life's best times! -RKO-

In a sense, yes. Some call them 'guardian angels' some call them 'The Holy Spirit', some would just say it's just 'conscience' (which actually means 'with knowledge').
They are there when needed, so not everyone knows that they have them. Usually there is one main one but others may be called in as necessary.
Their function is to help God communicate with us. We can talk to Him and He hears but sometimes it needs an intermediary for Him to say what needs to be said to us.
The one allotted to me says that I may call him 'Theodorus' (but I don't think that was ever his real name). I am not aware that we have needed to talk for ages, in fact we never have really talked. His function, as I said, is to 'translate' what God has to say to me.

Yes we do. I've known mine all my life. Some people call them guardian angels. They are incredibly wise souls who are here to try and help you make the right decisions in life and keep you safe.
