Scripture
We believe that all Scripture, both
the Old Testament (Tanakh) and the New Testament (B'rit Hadasha), is
the divinely inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of Yahweh
our God. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in
righteousness; that the man of God may be adequately equipped for
every good work." 2 Tim 3:16
Messiah
We believe in the
deity of Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth who was conceived by the Spirit
in the virgin Mary. He is the Messiah of Israel, the Savior of the
world, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. He is the ultimate and
final Passover Lamb required for the forgiveness and removal of our
sins. He was crucified and rose from the dead three nights and
three days later. Everyone who repents of their sins and trusts that
Yeshua (Jesus) is Messiah, who died and rose again, is forgiven
their sins and enters into the renewed covenant with God through Yeshua's
(Jesus') blood sacrifice. We therefore become inheritors
of all the promises and Covenants of God. (Romans 10:9-11;
1Corinthians 5:7)
Atonement
We understand that all have sinned and
fallen short of the glory of God and need atonement and
reconciliation to Yahweh (God). (Romans 3:23). Salvation is a free
gift of God and cannot be earned by keeping the commandments, we
keep the commandments (Torah) because we have been redeemed and
desire to walk as Yeshua (Jesus) walked.
(1 John 2)
Salvation comes through repentance and confession of sin. This
results in spiritual regeneration.
Water Baptism
We
believe in water immersion of believers (Mikvah), as commanded by
the Scriptures, as an outward sign of an inward salvation
experience, symbolizing the death of the old man and the
resurrection unto newness of life. (Matthew 3:16, 28:18-20)
Holy
Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh)
We believe in the
present ministry of the Gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12) and
the infilling of the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) of the believers.
Through the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh), the commandments (Torah),
are now written in our hearts and minds and enables us to live a
Torah-observant life as Messiah commanded. (Jeremiah 31:31-34;
Ezekiel 36:26-27) This in no wise earns you salvation or merits
with God. It is because we are His people and love Him that we live
according to His commandments. Then Peter said to them, "Repent,
and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yeshua (Jesus)
Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38
Resurrection
We believe in the
resurrection of both the believer and unbeliever. The redeemed to
everlasting joy in the presence of God (Yahweh) and the lost to
eternal damnation and separation from God (Yahweh). "Do not marvel
at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves
will hear His voice and come forth-- those who have done good, to
the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the
resurrection of condemnation.
John 5:28-29
Seventh Day Sabbath
We believe the
Sabbath is the seventh day of the week. It was designed/created as
the day to rest and to have a Holy Convocation by God (Yahweh) in
Genesis 2:2-3. God (Yahweh) gave this to His people as part of His
Covenant. It was given to be a sign of His Covenant forever. It is
the only commandment that is also a feast. (Leviticus 23:3) The
Children of Israel were told to "Remember" the Sabbath Day to keep
it Holy." They would not have been told to remember something that
was just being given for the first time. It was originally setup at
the beginning of creation. It is so important to God (Yahweh) that
it made the top ten list...The Ten Commandments. It's also one of
the ten that God (Yahweh) wrote with His own finger. History proves
that the seven-day week has never been lost or changed. (Ex. 31:16;
Is. 58:13-14; Matt.12:8) |
