Our Statement of Faith

We believe,

 

YHWH Eloheinu is one, and there is none beside Him. (Deuteronomy 6:4; 4:35, 39)

He created the heavens and the earth in six literal days. (Genesis 1:1; 2:2, 4; Exodus 20:11; 31;17; Isaiah 45:18)

 

Yeshua… 

…is the Messiah (Matthew 16:16)

…is the Word who became flesh (John 1:14; 1 John 1:1; Revelation 19:13)

…was born to Miriam who was then a virgin (Matthew 1:18–25; Luke 1:35)

…is the Son of Elohim (Matthew 14:33; Luke 1:36; John 20:31)

…is the Son of man (Matthew 16:13; Luke 19:10; John 5:27 Acts 7:56)

…is King of kings and Lord of lords (1 Timothy 6:15; Revelation 19:16)

…is the Savior of the world (1 John 4:14; 1 Timothy 1:15)

…is the Prophet like unto Moshe. (Deuteronomy 18:15; Acts 3:22; 7:37)

…is the spotless Lamb of Elohim (John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19)

…never sinned (1 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 7:26; 2 Peter 2:22; 1 John 3:5)

…was betrayed into the hands of men, rejected and killed (Matthew 17:22; 20:19; Mark 8:31; Luke 9:22; 18:32–33; Acts 3:15)

…was buried and in the ground 3 days and 3 nights (Matthew 12:40; Mark 8:31) 

…rose from the dead the 3rd day (Matthew 16:21; 17:23; Mark 9:31; 10:34; Luke 18:33; 24:21, 46; Acts 10:40)

…ascended into the heavens to sit at the right hand of Elohim the Father (Luke 24:51; Acts 1:9; 2:33; Ephesians 1:20; Philippians 2:9; Hebrews 10:12; 1 Peter 3:22)

…and he will return to judge the living and the dead according to their works (Matthew 25:31–46; Acts 1:11; 10:42; 17:31; 2 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17; 2 Timothy 4:1; 1 Peter 4:5; Revelation 20:11–15)

 

Sin is the transgression of the Torah. (Romans 7:7–13; James 2:9–11; 1 John 3:4)

 

The wages of sin is death, separation from Elohim, and eternal wrath from Elohim; but eternal life is knowing Elohim the Father and Yeshua. This life is given by grace to those who repent and believe in Yeshua, calling on the Name of YHWH, becoming a child of Elohim by being born again; and those who endure to the end shall be saved. Every part of this process of salvation is a work of the Holy Spirit of Elohim, and it is not based on bloodline, ritual circumcision, or human willpower. (Ezekiel 36:27; Joel 2:29, 32; Matthew 10:22; 24:13; John 1:12–13; 3:3–8, 16–18, 36; 5:24; 6:40; 10:9; 14:6; 17:3; Acts 2:21; 4:12; 15:11; Romans 2:7; 6:23; 8:1–16; 10:12–13; 1 Corinthians 6:11; Galatians 4:6–7; Ephesians 2:8–9; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 3:6; 1 John 5:11–12, 20)

 

We can be forgiven because the Messiah gave Himself up to die for our sins. (Acts 5:31; 13:38–39; 26:18; 1 Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; 4:32; Colossians 1:14; 2:13; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:9; 2:12; 4:10; Revelation 1:5)

 

There will be a resurrection to life everlasting and a resurrection of damnation. (Matthew 25:46; John 5:29; Daniel 12:2; Acts 24:15; Revelation 20:11–15; 21:8)

 

Elohim created mankind in His image; He created them male and female. (Genesis 1:26–27; 5:1–2)

 

The sixth of the “Ten Commandments”—“Thou shalt not murder”— does not forbid killing a human in war or in self-defense. However, the prohibition does include murdering yourself (suicide) and murdering babies in the womb (abortion). (Genesis 9:5–6; 25:22; Exodus 20:13; 21:12–15; 22–25; 23:7; Deuteronomy 27:25; Judges 13:4–5;  Psalms 10:8; 106:37–38; 139:13–16; Jeremiah 1:5; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20; Luke 1:41)
