Since "God" is a celestial being, would Satan?
If not, what is he?

Yes, Satan is a celestial being.
He is created by God along with all the other angels.
His name is LUCIFER according to Isaiah chapter 14:12 in the King James Version of the Bible or NKJV.
Celestial simply means heavenly realm and in a heavenly condition.
When Lucifer tried to exalt himself according to Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, God cast him out of heaven according to Revelation 12:9--12. Afterwards, He became know as the adversary or Satan because of his career of deceiving human beings and bringing as many as he can to their final destruction.
He is still an angel of light, glorious and wonderful to behold like the Bible teaches. He is not some pitch fork beast like some artist presents him to be.
Since he is a creation from God fallen from grace, he is still celestial; but, his whole agenda is against God. Therefore, he and his fellow angels cannot co-exist in the third heaven or heavenly realm with God and Jesus. He will be destroyed in the lake of fire in the day of Judgement, along with all his angels and human followers.
Those humans who are saved and following Christ now, will become celestial. They will be given heavenly bodies that will never die, just like Jesus, their Lord and Savior.

Satan is not considered a celestial being; he used to be one, but he turned against God and was cast out. I don't know if I'd consider him demonic, but I would not consider him celestial.

I think "spirit creature" is the term. In Revelations, Satan got kicked out of heaven, so I think that removes him from being celestial.

Satan was Angel until he wanted to take God's place in heaven, so there was a war in heaven and he was cast out. When he left also 1/3 of the angels went with him. The bible tells us that now he is ruler of this world until such a time that he is bound for 1000 years. In the story of Job, Satan comes before God and God questions him. SATAN asks God to let him do things to Job . God gives permission because he knows how Job will win. Satan is described in the bible as a liar, the accuser, serpent, evil and he came to lie, kill and destroy. He is also referred to as a defeated foe.

No Satan would be a demonic being.
If he literally existed. He's actually just humanity's answer to all that is creepy or wrong or evil in the world without knowing why or the reality of good and evil, which are actually all human doings, and different ends on the same scale, the duality that is in all the universe. Hell is turning away from God, which is pleasing yourself over His wishes, which is pleasing Satan, your carnal self.

Markyyy, Markyyy, Markyyy. Are you having a blonde moment? A Christian dentist will accept anyone as a client. The purpose of advertising they are a Christian business is so Christians who prefer to financially support other Christians have the information. In fact, my church gave me a booklet that identifies local Christian businesses so that I can do just that (if I prefer). As to the health club question...it would not be considered acceptable. It would be considered illegal...but you know that. EDIT: As far as a marketing strategy, it would not be an effective one. Atheist, Jews, Muslims, what-have-you, might decide NOT to use that business because they advertised themselves as Christian. The best marketing strategy would be to not identify yourself as any religion at all. I don't understand why you all think this is not right. It's no different than steering people to your uncle's business because he is a relative, or any other such scenario.

Celestial being, celestial seasonings tea. What you call it doesn't matter. Words are inept when it comes to describing the numinous.

God created man from dirt, the Angels from light and the jinn from fire. The jinn is the unseen world. Satan is from this world. The jinn live like us. They marry, they have children and they also work. They can see us but we cannot see them. Satan is the chief of all devils , which like I said they are the unseen.
