    Statement of Faith

    We believe:

    1. That the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Covenants, is the inspired and only infallible Word of Elohim (God) and is the supreme authority, not only in all matters of faith and conduct, but in everything it teaches [Isa 40:8; Luke 24:2-7,44; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Pet. 1:21];

    2. That there is only one Elohim (God), who has been revealed to mankind as Three Persons: the Father (Yahweh), the Son (Yah'shua/Jesus), and the sevenfold Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) [Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; Acts 5:3-4; Titus 1:3-4; 2:13; Rev.1:4];

    3. In the Scriptural record of special and recent creation by Yahweh-Elohim of the universe, the earth and all living things on it, and especially of Adam and Eve created in the image of Elohim and from whom all humans have descended; in the alienation of mankind from Elohim through the sin of Adam and Eve resulting in death and the necessity of salvation through Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) [Genesis 1:1-27; 2:2f, 18-25; 3:13-19; Exodus 20:11; 31:17; Neh. 9:6; Ps. 19:1-6; 33:6-9; 146:6; 148:3-5; John 1:1-3, 10; Acts 14:15; 17:24-28; Rom. 1:18-25; 3:23; 6:23; 1 Cor. 8:6; 15:22; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:2; 11:3; 2 Peter 3:5; Rev. 4:11; 10:6; 14:7];

    4. In the deity of our Master Yah'shua the Messiah (the Lord Jesus Christ), the only begotten Son of Yahweh, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory [Mark 16:19; Luke 1:27, 31, 35; John 1:1-2; 2:11; Acts 1:11; Rom. 1:3-4; Col. 1:13-20; 2:9; 1 Tim. 3:16; Titus 2:13; Heb. 3:18; 7:26; 10:12];

    5. That a person is made right with Yahweh and receives salvation through trusting faithfulness in the Master Yah'shua the Messiah (the Lord Jesus Christ) [Mark 16:16; John 4:22; 10:9; 14:6; Acts 2:21; 4:12; 15:11; 16:30f; Rom. 5:9f; 10:9; 1 Cor. 6:11; Phil. 2:9f; Eph. 2:8-10; 1 Thess. 5:9; 1 Tim. 2:5; 2 Tim. 2:10; 3:15; Titus 3:4-7];

    6. In the transforming, regenerating and sanctifying work of the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) by which He conforms the repentant person into the image of Messiah (Christ) [John 3:5-6; 6:63; 20:22; Acts 15:9; 19:2; Rom. 8:9, 11; 1 Cor. 2:14; 6:11; 12:3; 2 Cor. 3:3, 6; Gal. 3:14; 4:6, 29; 6:8; Eph. 1:13; 2:5; 1 Thess. 1:6; 5:23; 2 Thess. 2:13; Titus 3:5; 1 Pet 1:2; 1 John 4:13];

    7. In the expectation of the Master Yah'shua (the Lord Jesus) that His disciples be set apart to live by the commandments contained in the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, both given by the holy Elohim who never changes [Matt. 3:11; 5:17; 12:8; 15:1-6; 19:17; 23:23; Luke 24:49; John 8:34ff; 14:15; 15:14; 17:17; Acts 1:4f; Rom. 2:13-16; 6:12, 22; 7:12, 14; 8:11, 13; 15:16; 1 Cor. 1:2; 6:11, 19; 7:19; 11:2; Gal. 5:22f; Eph. 1:4; 3:16; 5:18; 1 Thess. 4:3; 5:23; 2 Thess. 2:13, 16; Heb. 8:8-12; 12:14; 1 Pet. 1:2, 16; 2:21; 3:15; 1 John 3:24];

    8. In the resurrection of both the righteous and wicked -- they that are righteous to receive the resurrection of life, and they that are unrepentant to receive the resurrection of judgment [Matthew 25:31-34, 41; Luke 14:14; John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15; 2 Cor. 5:10; Phil. 3:11; 1 Thess. 4:16; Rev. 20:4-6, 12-15]; and

    9. In the spiritual unity of all true believers in our Master Yah'shua the Messiah (Lord Jesus Christ) and the commonwealth of Israel consisting of the faithful remnant of Israelites and grafted-in Gentiles [1 Cor. 12:12-13; Eph. 1:10; 2:11-22; 4:16, 22, 23; Col. 1:18].

    “Every word of Elohim is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him” (Proverbs 30:5)
