Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God is our Father in Heaven, and that He is the creator of all things.
They believe that Satan is a son of God who was disobedient and 'fell from heaven' to become the devil.

What was the Satan that challenged Job in the Bible?
In the Book of Job, Satan had nothing much to do, so God gave him the challenge to put Job to the test. The challenge was that Satan could do any evil that he wished, as long as he did not harm Job. When Satan was unable to have Job curse God, God gave him another, easier challenge in which Satan could now harm Job himself. So, God initiated the challenges and Satan carried them out.
Why was Satan among the sons of God mentioned in Job Chapter 1 verse 6 and Chapter 2 verse 1?
Satan entered Jewish belief during what is known as the 'Persian period' as the loyal assistant of God, tasked with proving the righteousness of the faithful. The Book of Job is identified as having been written in the Persian period, partly because of its mention of Satan, but there are other indicators. Here, God is sending Satan "to and fro in the earth" seeking out those to test on behalf of God. The Book of Job is arguably an attempt to explain the existence of evil, in the presence of an all-powerful, benevolent God. In later Christian belief, the existence of evil is explained through Satan as the evil adversary of God, but this has never formed part of Jewish belief.
Is Beyonce a member of church of Satan?
If you believe the rumor mills, then that is one of them or is it the 'Illuminati?' All individuals have free will from God to chose who/what they worship from the nothingness of a dream of something/someone to the only Creator God and everything in between - or so it seems.
Is Satan a hero or antihero?
In Jewish belief, Satan is the loyal assistant of God, tasked with testing the righteousness of the faithful. In this sense, he could be called a hero.In Christian belief, on the other hand, Satan is the evil opponent of God. In this sense, he could be called an antihero.Why the difference? In Zoroastrianism, Angra Mainyu is the wholly malign adversary of the Persian god, Ahura Mazda. When the concept was adopted in Judaism after the Babylonian Exile, the Jews struggled with the notion of God having an opponent who could defy him. Deciding that this was not possible, the Jews adapted Satan to do God's bidding by challenging the faithful, as we see in the Book of Job. Christianity retained the concept of Satan as evil and adapted him away from the Jewish view of him.
Why did Satan ascend to hell?
My theory is that Satan was created by God in order to create the world, and to create evolution, which would eventually give rise to humans, some of whom would be the servants of God. There is no answer to be known for your question. It is a matter of belief.

Will God forgive a satanist if he has denounced faith in Satan?
That depends on your belief. In the bible god states that "my ways are not your ways" and "My thoughts are not your thoughts". If your god in fact exists it seems he can do whatever floats his boat.
Will Satan know what he's doing someday?
It seems that even we do not really know what Satan is supposedly doing. Satan entered post-Exilic Judaism as the 'adversary' but under the instructions of God, as his loyal assistant, which we see in the Book of Job. In Christianity, Satan evolved to become the evil opponent of God, seeking to cause the faithful to deviate from righteousness and to destroy God's kingdom. Satan continued to evolve throughout much of the Middle Ages, at time as a figure of fun and sometimes with changes in how he exerts his wicked powers. The ambiguity continues in belief today, which is why (i) he can be in hell being punished for his disobedience, or (ii) in hell happily punishing the souls of the wicked, yet also (iii) wandering the earth tempting every person alive today.If Satan is the loyal assistant of God, as in Jewish belief, he knows it. If Satan is the evil adversary of God, as in Christian belief, he knows it. If the Jews did not even know about Satan until around 500 BCE, he probably does not really exist. If he does not exist, then he will never know anything.
Why was Satan so jealous of man?
Satan's jealousy of man can be attributed to the belief that humanity was created in the image of God and granted a unique relationship with Him. Unlike angels, who serve God, humans were given free will and the opportunity for redemption, which sparked Satan's envy. This jealousy is often depicted in religious texts as a driving force behind his rebellion and desire to lead humanity away from God. Ultimately, Satan's jealousy reflects his desire to undermine God's creation and authority.
