Angels

edit

There is a popular media notion that, when you die, you became an angel (and you have to "earn your wings") that can come back to earth on mission, as in Highway to Heaven and It's a Wonderful Life. AFAIK, the only one preaching that you become an angel when you die was Swedenborg. So, could we link the Swedenborgian minority to this quite spread notion?
