Doctrinal Statement
The Oneness of Yah
We affirm the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4) “Hear, O Yisra’ěl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one!"
We believe Yah expresses Himself as Father, Son (Yeshua / Jesus; Hebrews 1:8; 2 Peter 1:1; Philemon 2:10-11), and Spirit (Ruach haKodesh / Holy Spirit; Matthew 28:19; Acts 5:3-4; 2 Corinthians 13:14). He is infinite, perfect, and exists eternally (2 Samuel 22:31; Revelation 1:8).
The Father
We believe He is Father over all creation, and thus its sovereign ruler; Father of Israel (Exodus 4:22) whom He has chosen as His unique people; Father of Yeshua haMashiyach (Matthew 3:17), whom He sent into the world to redeem mankind and creation; and Father of all who trust in His gracious provision (John 1:12, 3:16-17; Galatians 3:26; Philippians 4:19).
The Son
We believe that God the Son became flesh in the person of Yeshua haMashiyach (Jesus the Messiah; John 1:1-3, 14) of Nazareth, the promised Messiah of Israel, who was conceived of the Spirit of God and born of the Jewish virgin, Miriam (Mary; Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7; Daniel 7:13,14; Matthew 1:18-21; Luke 11:27-28). We believe in His full deity and full humanity, His sinless life, and His miracles (Jeremiah 23:5-6; Micah 5:2; Matthew 12:15; Luke 1:26-79; John 1:1,2,14-18; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22). We believe that Yeshua haMashiyach died as the substitutionary sacrifice for man's sin and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous on the basis of His shed blood alone (Matthew 26:28; Romans 4:24-25, 5:8,9; 1 Peter 3:18). The Messiah's substitutionary death was the price for our redemption and was foreshadowed in the Tanakh (a.k.a. Old Testament) in the slaying of the Passover Lamb, the sin and trespass offerings (Leviticus 16:15,16, 17:11; Isaiah 11:1-5; Zechariah 6:12,13) and the sin offerings on Yom Kippur (Hebrews 4:14-16).
We believe that Yeshua came not to destroy the Law and the Prophets but to fulfill them completely (Isaiah 53; Matthew 5:17-19; 1 John 3:4,21-24). We believe that Yeshua haMashiyach arose from the dead bodily, ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father (Acts 7:55,56). He serves as our Great High Priest according to the priesthood of Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18-19, Psalm 110:4). As such, He is intercessor and advocate before the Father on behalf of all believers, and He will come again in glory with His authority from the Father to judge the living and the dead (John 5:22, 27, Acts 1:9-11, 17:31; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; Hebrews 7:1- 8:2; 1 John 2:1).
The Ruach haKodesh / Holy Spirit
We believe the Ruach haKodesh (The Ruach / Holy Spirit) is Yah (Psalm 139:7; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Ephesians 4:4-6). He does not call attention to Himself and is ever present to glorify and testify of Yeshua haMashiyach (John 15:26, 16:13-15). We believe that during the period of the Tanakh, the Spirit of Yahweh was active in creating the world and gifting, empowering, and filling elected individuals for specific services to Elohim (Genesis 1:2; Exodus 31:1-5; Numbers 27:18; Judges 6:34; Nehemiah 9:20). We believe the Ruach is active today convicting the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. He regenerates, seals, and sets the believer apart to a set-apart (holy) life (John 16:18; Ephesians 1:13,14, 4:30). At the moment of salvation, each believer is baptized (immersed) with the Ruach haKodesh into the Body of Messiah and is permanently indwelt by the Ruach haKodesh. Therefore, all believers are complete in Him and possess every spiritual blessing.
It is the privilege and responsibility of all believers to be constantly filled (controlled) by the Ruach, thereby manifesting the fruit of the Spirit in their lives (Ephesians 5:18; Galatians 5:16-18,22,23; Acts 13:15). Without the indwelling Spirit, no one can understand or discern spiritual truths (John 16:7-11; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:10-16; 2 Thessalonians 2:13). We believe that at salvation the Ruach imparts at least one spiritual gift to every believer for the purpose of edifying and equipping the Body of Messiah. The Ruach imparts them to each believer as He determines. Spiritual gifts are a blessing to the believer for the building up the Body of Messiah in love (John 13:35; 1 Corinthians 12:4-13, 28-31, 13:1-3, 14:12; 1 Peter 4:8-10).
The Scriptures / Bible
We believe that the Scriptures (Bible), the Tanakh (commonly translated as the 'Old Covenant' which includes the Torah - i.e. commonly translated as 'The Law' which represent the first five books of the Bible) and the Brit Chadasha (a.k.a. The Apostolic Writings, The Renewed Covenant, New Covenant) are Yah’s fully inspired revelation to man. We trust Yah's Word to be infallible and authoritative in every category of knowledge to which they speak, including but not limited to faith, practice, science and history (Proverbs 30:5,6; Isaiah 40:7,8; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Matthew 5:18; John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, Revelation 1:3, 22:18,19).
Man
We believe that man was created in the image of Yah (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve sinned and consequently experienced not only physical death but also spiritual death, which is the loss of Yah’s eternal life, resulting in separation from Yah (Genesis 3:19,23). As a consequence of this sin the entire moral and intellectual nature of unredeemed mankind is corrupted (Genesis 6:5,12, 8:21). This sinful nature makes all human beings incapable of raising themselves to the holiness in which Yah had originally created them (Jeremiah 17:19). Man’s state of sin so infected his will that he is morally unable to chose Yah’s provision of redemption in Yeshua haMashiyach without the regenerating work of the Ruach haKodesh (John 15:16; Ephesians 1:4). The destiny of the unredeemed man is eternal destruction (2 Thessalonians 1:8,9). The only way to overcome this eternal separation from Yah is to put one’s trust in Yeshua as the sin-bearing Son of Yahweh (Matthew 25:34,41; John 3:16, 1 John 5:1; Revelation 21:18).
Salvation
Its Accomplishment
We believe that anyone who by faith trusts Yeshua haMashiyach as Redeemer and Lord and repents of his sin is immediately forgiven his sins and becomes a “new creation,” born from above (John 3:3-6; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:15). This salvation is not accomplished by any human effort or meritorious act; it is accomplished only by faith in the atoning sacrifice of Yeshua the Messiah, which faith is given by God to the believer as a gracious gift (Genesis 15:6; Leviticus 17:11; Deuteronomy 9:4-6; Habakkuk 2:4; John 1:12,13; Acts 2:37-39; Romans 1:16,17, 3:28, 8:9,15-17; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8,9,19; Titus 3:5).
Its Effect
The redemption of man leads to a New Birth (John 3:3-6; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:15). The result of our spiritual birth is that we become the righteousness of Yah in Yeshua haMashiyach (2 Corinthians 5:21), we become partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4), our mind is renewed continually (Romans 12:2; Colossians 3:10) and our body becomes a dwelling place for the Ruach haKodesh (Ezekiel 36:26,27; 2 Corinthians 3:16,17; Romans 8:9). Although the regenerated believer still struggles with the power of sin through his flesh, he is free from the strongholds of the Adamic nature and the law of sin and death, and is securely “in Messiah” (Romans 5:17,18, 6:1-11; 7:15-8:2; Galatians 2:20; 1 John 1:8,9). While Yah’s Word states that nobody can be taken from His hand (John 10:28) we believe, at some point, a person can remove themselves from His hand, lose their salvation, and receive eternal judgement (Matthew 24:13; 2 Timothy 4:6-8; James 5:19-20; 2 Peter 2:20-22; Hebrews 10:26,36; Revelation 2:10).
Its Enablement
We believe that all believers, though forgiven, still struggle with sin while they are in this life (Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 1:8-2:2). Yah, in His mercy and grace, has given the believer, through salvation, the ability to recognize his sin and a heart to confess and repent of it (Numbers 15:37-41; Psalm 51:1-13; John 16:8, Romans 7:7-13, 15-21). Yah enables the believer to understand the Scriptures through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit (John 14:26, 17:17, Romans 6:1-11). The Ruach haKodesh also reminds the believer of his redeemed identity in Yeshua the Messiah (Romans 8:1,2, 9-16; 1 Corinthians 2:11-16).
The Body of Yeshua
We believe that all believers in Yeshua haMashiyach are members of the universal Body (community of believers) and Bride of the Messiah. The membership of the Body is not based on any earthly organizational affiliation but is based on faith in Yeshua. We believe in a physical and spiritual restoration of Israel. This Body is composed of both Jews and Gentiles made one in Messiah (Romans 10:12). These members are under the solemn duty to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of love with a pure heart (Leviticus 25:17; Luke 22:24-27; Acts 1:5, 2:1; Romans 2:25-29; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 6:1; Ephesians 2:11-18, 5:23-27; Colossians 1:18, 3:14,15).
