technically no. angels are messengers and "managers" of various aspects of the world, universe, souls etc...
we are all "transfigured" into the supernatural body which will look like the angelic body but we are not angels in the sense of their hierarchy.
Enoch 20: 1,2 And these are the names of the holy angels who watch. Uriel, one of the holy angels, who is 3 over the world and over Tartarus. Raphael, one of the holy angels, who is over the spirits of men. 4,5 Raguel, one of the holy angels who takes vengeance on the world of the luminaries. Michael, one 6 of the holy angels, to wit, he that is set over the best part of mankind and over chaos. Saraqael, 7 one of the holy angels, who is set over the spirits, who sin in the spirit. Gabriel, one of the holy 8 angels, who is over Paradise and the serpents and the Cherubim. Remiel, one of the holy angels, whom God set over those who rise.

You've asked a good question.
First we need to know what happens to humans who die. Do they continue existing but in another form, perhaps as angels in the spirit realm? The Bible has this simple and clear answer: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) So at death humans cease to exist. The dead know, feel, and experience absolutely nothing.
Is there hope for the dead? Yes! The Bible shows that the hope for most humans who have died is to be resurrected. The vast majority of the dead are to be raised to life as humans on a paradise earth.—Luke 23:43; John 5:28.
A few humans have the hope of being resurrected to life in heaven. Their number is small when compared to the earth's population. These few chosen for heavenly life rule as immortal kings and priests with Christ. They have authority as judges. (1 Corinthians 6:3; Revelation 20:6) Are they babies who have died? No. They are followers of Christ who have been fully tested and tried!—Luke 22:28, 29.
Consider, too, the contrast between dead humans and living angels. Whereas deceased humans “are conscious of nothing at all,” angels have full consciousness, feelings, and personal will. They are free moral agents. (Genesis 6:2, 4; Psalm 146:4; 2 Peter 2:4) The dead are described as “impotent,” or powerless, while angels are “mighty in power.” (Isaiah 26:14; Psalm 103:20) And while human descendants of Adam die as a result of sin and imperfection, God-fearing angels are perfect, enjoying a fully approved standing before God—Matthew 18:10.
The idea that angels are the souls of deceased humans might make for imaginative TV programs or movies, but the notion finds no support in the Scriptures. The Bible truths set forth above help us to avoid any misconception about the fate of our loved ones who die. And the Bible assures us that faithful angels—separately created, powerful servants of God—are superior to humans and are always ready to do God’s will. Happily, God’s will includes using the angels to watch over and assist those who sincerely respect him and seek to serve him.—Psalm 34:7.

No. That is a commonly held belief but is not true. Angels are creatures that God created that can travel between the heavenly realm and the real world. They are basically his "messengers" or helpers. Satan and his demons are fallen angels. They are spirits but can take on bodily form if needed.

No we ultimately grow to be dirt. whilst someone dies they stop to exist. a number of them would be resurrected sooner or later, yet for now they relax in the grave. Angels are non secular beings that have been created individually via God, without the skill of reproduction as actual beings adventure. some people that God resurrects to heaven would be like angels as non secular beings yet they gained't be angels, merely spirit beings that have been until eventually now born as human.

I believe the best that mortal man can hope for is sainthood, if you're into that sort of thing (i.e. Christianity). Angels are messengers between God and his minions - they never were mortal.
Sainthood ain't bad. You get to play chess with Mother Teresa.

No
Angels are a different species,so to speak.One has to be created an angel to be an angel.
Humans are both body and soul/spirit while angels are pure spirit.
Humans will be resurrected with immortal bodies and souls and will not be reincarnated as anything,IMHO. I don't think that we need to be recycled as souls.

No. Only the 144,000, or the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class, will go to heaven. The other people that remained faithful will live forever on the New World, or the Paradise Earth, as perfect humans.

Do Humans
Become Angels
When They Die?
A LITTLE girl named Argyro died when she was only seven years of age. Grief-stricken, her parents looked down at her as she lay in a coffin, dressed in white. In an effort to offer solace, the minister told them: “God wanted another angel, and He took little Argyro to be with him. Now her soul flutters around the Almighty’s throne.”
Many people cherish the belief that angels are the souls of deceased humans, although few religions officially endorse the notion. The media has popularized this concept in movies and television series about dead people who ‘earn their wings’ as angels by helping and protecting the living.
Can you, in truth, expect your loved ones to become angels at death? What does the Bible teach on this matter? To answer, let us first review what the Holy Scriptures really say about the nature of angels and the actual condition of the dead.

No we do not become Angels. GOD created all the Angels there will be. If I interpret my bible correctly I think we become saints in Heaven.

No. God created man "a little lower than an angel".
