Statement of Faith

This is a list of biblical doctrines we hold to be true with a perfect faith.

1. The Scriptures
   The Bible (The Tanakh and Apostolic Scriptures in their original autographs) is the inspired Word of HaShem. The product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved upon by the Holy Spirit and we accept it as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine (II Tim. 3:16; I Thess. 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
   
   
2. The Unity of God
   We believe that there is one God (HaShem), revealed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4; John 1:1-2, 14-18; John 10:30; John 14:16-17, 26; John 16:7-15).
   
   
3. Yeshua The Messiah
   We believe in the deity of Yeshua HaMashiach (John 1:1-18), and His virgin birth (Is. 9:6; Is. 7:14; Matt. 1:18-25), in His sinless life (Is. 53; II Cor. 5:21; Lk. 1:35), in His miracles (Matt. 4:23-25), in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood (Is. 53; Dan. 9:24-27; Rom. 3:21-31; Heb 9&10), in his bodily resurrection (Zech. 12:10 & ch.14; Matt. 28), in His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Ps. 110; Ps. 16:10; Acts 1:1-11; Heb. 1:1-3), and in His personal return in power and glory (Dan. 7:9-14; Matt. 26:57-64; Rev. 1:1-18). Moreover, we believe that Yeshua is the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6; John 6:29, 40, 44; I John 5:11-12).
   
   
4. Man, His Fall And Redemption
   Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of HaShem, but through Adam's transgression and fall, sin came into the world. "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of HaShem." "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one." Yeshua, the Messiah, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the work of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to HaShem (Rom. 5:14; Rom. 3:10; Rom. 3:23; I John 3:8). Salvation is the gift of HaShem to man, separate from works and the law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Yeshua, producing works acceptable to HaShem (Eph. 2:8).
   
   
5. Eternal Life And The New Birth
   Man's first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that leads to repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men and, when fulfilled, produces eternal life (II Cor. 7:10; I John 5:12; John 3:3-5).
   
   
6. Baptism In The Holy Spirit
   The Baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire is a gift from HaShem as promised by Yeshua the Messiah to all believers and is received subsequent to the New Birth (Matt. 3:11; John 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38, 39). The gift of tongues is one of the many manifestations of the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:1-7; Acts 2:4; I Cor. 12:1-11). We believe in the operation of all the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in HaShem's Word. We embrace all of the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
   
   
7. Sanctification
   The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see HaShem. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation (Heb. 12:14; I Thess. 5:23; II Peter 3:18; Phil. 3:12-14; I Cor. 1:30; Rev. 14:12).
   
   
8. The Torah
   We believe that the Torah (five books of Moses) is a comprehensive summary of HaShem's foundational laws and ways, as found in both the new and older covenant (Ex. 19&20; Deut. 5; Jer. 31:31-34; Heb. 8:10; Matt. 5:17-19). Therefore we encourage all believers, both Jews and Gentiles, to affirm, embrace, and practice these foundational laws and ways as clarified through the teachings of Messiah Yeshua (Matt. 5:17-19; I Cor. 7:19; Rev. 14:12).
   
   
9. The Resurrection
   We believe in the personal return, in power and glory, of Yeshua the Messiah to judge the living and the dead (Dan. 7:9-14; Matt. 26:57-64; Rev. 1:1-18). We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost to the resurrection of damnation (John 5:19-29).
