Are these views on angels and demons actually common among the reformed? What do you make of them?

Baffled Reformed-ish Anglican here:

A friend of mine who's a reformed baptist and I, were discussing various points of theology over coffee and he explained the following framework, which i cannot find in the reformed confessions but, he said was common among the reformed.

  1. God has apointed Angels to oversee various natural phenomena such as winds, the stars, the movement of tectonic plates and so on.
  2. God originally gave the overseeing of the earth to humans
  3. Various angels rebelled against God which acounts for most instances of natural evil, which God allows for a mysterious higher purpose.
  4. these fallen angels are now called Demons and pretend to be gods and were worshipped by the cannanites, Egyptians and so on.
  5. Every act of sin is effectively worship towards a demon.
  6. In the world to come, humans will be restored to their original role and replace any fallen angels.
  7. one of the purposes of sanctification is to prepare for this

Are these positions common among the reformed? Im not really sure what to make of them?
