Salvation is about a total change of man from humanity to divinity; this is a new creature. Conversion is about commitment and change of direction; not every convert is a new creature. All converts are put in training to preach about salvation.
Reading the Word is consuming light. When we receive Christ, we are converts looking forward to being new creations. Revelation is what changes us from converts to new creations. Now, God gives up power to be able to become a new creation; a new creation is not weak and does not sin – it is ready for the the new Jerusalem.
No weak shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; this requires us to be stronger. Speaking of heaven is speaking of a greater dimension than heavenly Jerusalem. ‘And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven…’ (Rev 21:2) The habitation of God with man is in New Jerusalem.
The soul is not formed but created. When something is formed, it means that it is derived from something. A created thing means it comes from nothing to existence by the ability of God. The soul is part of creation but not part of formation. The state of the soul can be changed and disappear. The devil cannot destroy the soul but the body because the body is derived from land and the devil is the god of this earth. This gives him authority over the body not the soul. In fact, the devil is also a soul – a celestial soul; man is a terrestrial soul.
When the gospel comes to us, it elevates our souls from terrestrial to celestial souls. At fullness of light, we are not souls anymore, we are spirits. When our states are raised to celestial states, we are gods [him] /goddesses [her] because of the body (a person in the body raised a state of the soul to a certain celestial ability). Angels are celestial souls having spiritual bodies.
Now, these gods/goddesses are not pure spirits but have derived their states in the realm of the soul. They have a territorial influence and wants to be worshipped. Some have territory on what man eats, others on ladies of the earth, some on the thinking of man (these see to it that you think in their way), etc.
Animals have souls too; this is why after man fell from eating from the tree, his sins were covered by the blood of animals.

Deut. 4:9 “Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;”
