| 1 ...the entire Bible (both Old and New Covenants) is the divinely inspired Word of God. It is our source and final authority. 2 Timothy 3:16; I Peter 1:23-25; Hebrews 4:12. 2 ...the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to be the only living and true God; eternal and triune, G-d the Father, Son, Ruach Hakodesh. G-d is the Creator of heaven and earth. Deuteronomy. 6:4; Genesis. 1:1. 3 Yeshua Ha Mashiach is the only begotten Son of God. He is fully G-d, and yet became fully man in being conceived by Ruach HaKodesh, God's Holy Spirit, and born of the Jewish virgin Miriam. 1 John 4:9; Matthew 1:20-23; Luke 1:27-32. 4 Yeshua is the perfect atoning sacrifice for the sins of Israel and all mankind. His vicarious death by crucifixion, made it possible for all to be reconciled unto God. Romans 5:8; Galatians 1:4; Hebrews 9:26. 5 Yeshua rose from the dead on the third and ascended into heaven. He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and Yeshua is our Intercessor and Advocate, the only mediator between God and man. 2 Corinthians 5:15; Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24). 6 Yeshua will return to earth and set up His 1000 year reign as King, and those who have believed in Him by faith will be gathered unto Him. Rev. 20:4-6 7 Jews and Gentiles are sinners and need salvation, which is only by faith in Yeshua as our Messiah, and this is only by God's grace. His blood atoned for our sin, and His death and resurrection give us hope of conquering the grave and raising to eternal life in Him. Romans 3:23-25; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9; I Peter 1:1819). 8 We believe those born again in Yeshua are filled with the Holy Spirit, according to John 3:5-7 and Romans 8:14-16. This is not a prerequisite for salvation but is part of our born again experience. As a result of our being born again, we are given Ruach Hakodesh, The Holy Spirit, as G-d's power to accomplish the different ministries as God chooses and directs. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 9 We believe disunity, Proverbs 6:16-19, with others in the congregation is detrimental and shall be disciplined according to Matthew 18:15-18. 10 We believe in tithing and offerings to support the work of G-d's Kingdom and the body of Messiah. One-tenth is the measure of one’s tithe. Leviticus chapter 27; Malachi 3:10; Luke 6:38). 11 We believe in a literal heaven and hell. 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation. 21:1-2; Psalm 9:17; Matthew 10:28). 12 We believe in observing and practicing the Biblical feasts, festivals and shabbats, in obedience to the Torah of G-d. In doing so, we are also reminded of three things concerning our G-d: 1- G-d's faithfulness in what He has done for His people Israel, 2- G-d's faithfulness in what He is doing in our lives today, 3- G-d's faithfulness of what He will do in the end times. 13 We believe in observing and/or practicing the following events: Yom HaShoah/ the Holacaust Remembrance Day Yom Atzmoat/ Israel Independence Day 14 We believe in the teaching and practicing these Biblical truths: Mikveh (Baptism) Romans 6:3-4; Matthew 28:19 Kiddish (Communion) Luke 22:19; I Corinthians 11:26 Dedication of Children 1 Samuel 1:26-28; Mark 10:15-16 Marriage only between one man and one woman Genesis 2:21-25 Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 5:31 Anointing with Oil Exodus 30:25; James 5:14 Laying on of Hands Acts 6:6; Hebrews 6:1-2 |
