Questions in this Episode

Is it important to remember when you are born again?
Has Satan already been bound?

My brother has become a member of the LDS church and says that Satan and Jesus were spirit brothers. But Satan was a created being and Jesus is God. When my brother said this it led to us being upset and a lot of conflict between us. I am very frustrated and concerned for him. I am not sure what to say.
