Statement of Faith

The Bible

We believe the Bible, composed of the Tanakh (Old Covenant) and the B'rit Chadashah (New Covenant), is the only infallible and authoritative Word of God. (1 Timothy 3:15-17Romans 15:42 Peter 1:19-21; Hebrews 4:2; Ephesians 6:17)

God is Echad

We believe God is Echad (The Lord is One), as declared in the Sh'ma. He is a single entity existing in three persons. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 1:22-23)

Diety

We believe in the Deity of Yeshua ha Mashiach, Jesus the Messiah, that He is the “seed of woman” as God promised and that His virgin birth was to be a sign to Israel of His Messiahship. (Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14;Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 1:22-23.)

Messiah Yeshua's Life

We believe in Messiah Yeshua’s life and His miracles yesterday and today. We also believe in His vicarious and sacrificial death as our atonement, His bodily resurrection, His personal future return for His followers, both living and dead, and the future establishment of His Kingdom on Earth.(Isaiah 53:8-112 Corinthians 5:21Isaiah 9:6-71 Corinthians 11:26Zechariah 12:6-10Zechariah 14:16-21)

Cleansed by Grace

We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is by grace, through faith in the shed sacrificial blood of the Lamb of God, Yeshua ha Mashiach. We also believe that regeneration by the Spirit of God is absolutely essential for personal salvation. (Leviticus 17:11Ephesians 2:8Romans 1:17Habakkuk 2:4John 3:3Hebrews 11:6)

The Holy Spirit

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) by Whose indwelling the Believer is enabled to live a godly life. (Jeremiah 31:31-34John 14:15-17Galatians 5:13-25)

Heritage

We believe the Jewish people, those who are descendats of Abraham through Isaac through blood lines of birth mothers or fathers, who place their faith in Israel's Messiah Yeshua, have not disowned or separated themselves from their race and Judaic heritage, but remain sons and daughters of Israel. Gentiles who place their faith in Israel's Messiah Yeshua are spiritually sons and daughers of Abraham and remain Gentiles. (Genesis 15:6Galatians 3:28-29Romans 2:28-29)

Resurrection

We believe in the resurrection of both saved and lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to eternal separation from God, the latter being consigned to a state of everlasting punishment.(Danial 12:2Matthew 25:46Psalms 69:28Revelation 20:12-15)

Middle Wall of Partition

We believe in the middle wall of partition, which in times separated Jews and Gentiles, has been broken down, the enmity between them eradicated by the Messiah, Yeshua. (Ephesians 2:12Acts 10:34)

New Covenant Body

We believe the New Covenant Body of the Lord is composed of both Jewish and Gentiles who have accepted Yeshua the Messiah has the promised Redeemer and that now they are to worship together in the House of God. (1 Corinthians 12:13Hebrews 10:25Ephesians 3:610-12)

Jewish Followers of Yeshua

We believe that those of us that are Jewish followers of Yeshua are called to maintain our Jewish Biblical heritage and remain part of our People, and the universal body of Believers. (Romans 3:1-4;1 Corinthians 7:17-20Acts 21:20-24)
