Statement of Faith |
 |
1. We believe that God is One, Echad not Yachid. Not that He is one person, but
that He is One G-dhead, family of three; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Abba, Ben and Ruach HaKodesh. Deut 6:4; Isaiah 48:12-17; Matt 28:16-20 |
 |
2. We believe that the Word of God, Tanakh/Old Covenant and the Brit
Chadashah/
New Covenant are inspired by God and without error.
II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20; Romans 15:4
|
 |
3. We believe in the teaching originally found in the Torah, that Messiah
is
divinely YHVH, L-rd. We believe in His virgin birth.
Dan 7:9-14; Jer 23:5-6; John 1:13-14; Col 1:14-29; Zech 14:1-5;
Isaiah 48:12-17; Isaiah 26:21; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18
|
 |
4. We believe that there is only one satisfactory way of atonement before HaShem
and that the blood standard is still in effect. Only the blood of
Messiah Yeshua
will atone for mankind's sin. We believe that all have sinned and
therefore all
are in need of atonement.
Lev 16 & 17: Exodus 12 & 13; Heb 9:22; Acts 4:12; 10:28;
Romans 3:24-25; Col 1:20; John 14:6; Psa 14:1-3; Rom 3:23
|
 |
5. We believe that salvation comes by exercising a receptive
belief--personalizing
faith--in Yeshua and it is by the grace of G-d. We do not believe
that salvation
can be earned by doing enough mitzvot (good works). We believe that
all must
repent and believe to be born again.
John 1:12; Isa 55:6-7; 64:6; Eph 2:8-9; Rom 11:5-6; Mark 1:14-15
|
|
|
6. We believe that Yeshua/Jesus rose bodily and visibly as it had been
foretold
that Messiah would. We believe in the resurrection and judgement for
mankind.
Isa 53:10; 26:19; Psa 16:10; 41:9-10; John 20:24-29; Dan 12:1-3;
Rev 20:10-15; I Cor 3:10-15
|
| |
7. We believe that Messiah will return to earth bodily and visibly.
Isa 26:21; Zech 14:1-4; Rev 19:11-16
|
| |
8. We believe that the B'rit Chadashah (New Covenant) fulfills the
redemptive
aspects of the Abrahamic Covenant given to the three patriarchs. We
believe
that Jewish people who place their faith in Yeshua HaMashiach continue
to be
Jewish according to the Scriptures, and that the Land promised to
Israel in
that Covenant is forever to be owned by the nation of Israel.
Gen 12:3; Gen 15:18; 17:19; 22:17-18; 26:3-5; 28:4 Gal 3:8-14;
Acts 21:17-26; Rom 11:11-26; I Cor 9:12-20
|
| |
9. We believe that all of the gifts of the Spirit are in effect
today--that none have
ceased. We believe that the fruit of love is the evidence of
salvation and of the mikvah
(baptism) in the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit).
I Cor 12:28-13:3; 14:39-40; Lev 19:18; Matt 5:43-45
Gal 5:13-14; John 13:34-35; John 17:21
