What we believe

 

All Scriptures (Tanach, and latter Ketuvim) are divinely inspired of G-d and is the only authority of faith and G-dly conduct as stated in II Tim 3:15-17.

 

There is One true and living G-d, the Creator of all things; all knowing, all loving, the Redeemer of mankind. He has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as stated in John 1:1-14.

 

We may scripturally speak of the G-d of heaven as a Tri-unity, though He is One L-rd, Echad. G-d has revealed Himself in three distinct attributes and yet absolutely unified as One as stated in John 1: 1-14.

 

Regarding Yeshua HaMashiach, scripture explicitly declares;

             His virgin birth.                                                 Isaiah 7:14; Matt 1: 23

             His sinless life.                                                  Isaiah 53: Heb 7:26

             His substitutionary sacrifice

               on the Roman execution stake.                  Psalm 22; Isaiah 53:12, 59:16; I Cor 15:4

             His bodily resurrection from the dead.       Psalm 16:10; Matt 28:6 I Cor 15:4

             His place at the right hand of G-d.                Psalm 110:1; Acts 2:33

 

G-d created man good, and free of sin. However, man of his own choice transgressed the will and command of G-d. We thereby inherit the nature of sin which results in physical death as well as spiritual death (separation from G-d). Gen 3, Gen 5:3.

 

Man can now only be redeemed through the sacrificial shed blood of Yeshua, the Son of G-d. This salvation is received through repentance toward G-d and faith in Yeshua, being justified by grace through faith. Rom 10:9-15.

 

Baptism by water immersion is commanded in the scriptures. Although not a prerequisite for salvation, baptism symbolizes that the person has “died” with Mashiach and has been “raised” with Him in newness of life. Matt 28:19, Roms 6:4.

 

All believers are invited to share in the L-rd’s supper memorial until the return of the L-rd. As we partake we remember His suffering and death. 1 Cor 11:26.

 

Believers are to gather in praise and worship. They are to support other believers in Yeshua, through prayer and physical means as each situation allows. Gal 6:6-10.

 

All ordinances of G-d are essential, to be followed as He has revealed Himself unto us in His blessed Word of truth.  “If you love Me you will keep My commandments.” John 14:15.
