ABOUT ME

Psalm 31:24
חזקו ויאמץ לבבכם כל המיחלים ליהוה׃
Be of good courage and he shall strengthen your heart all ye that hope in YHVH


AUTHORITY OF THE SCRIPTURES
      We believe that the Bible, composed of both the Tenach (Jewish Scriptures known as the Old Testament) and the B’rit Chadasha (New Covenant or Testament), is the only infallible and authoritative Word of God. Psalm 119:89; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:19-21

GOD IS ECHAD
      We believe that there is one God, who is Creator of the Universe and eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He exists as an Echad, "a united one" or "compound unity".Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 48:16-17; 1 John 5:7-13

DEITY
      We believe in the deity as well as humanity of Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah), that He is the "seed of the woman" as God promised and that His virgin birth was to be a sign of His messiahship. Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 1:22-23

MESSIAH YESHUA’S LIFE
      We believe in Messiah Jesus’ life, His miracles past, present and future, His sinless life, His vicarious and sacrificial death as our atonement, His bodily resurrection, His personal future return for His followers, both living and dead, and His future establishment of His kingdom on Earth.Isaiah 53:8-11; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Isaiah 9:6-7; 1 Corinthians 11:26; Zechariah 12:6-10; Zechariah 14:16-21

CLEANSED BY GRACE
      We believe that the only means of being cleansed from sin is by grace, through faith in the shed sacrificial blood of Yeshua HaMashiach and that regeneration by the Spirit of God is necessary for personal salvation.Genesis 15:6; Leviticus 17:11; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 1:17; Habakkuk 2:4; John 3:3; Hebrews 11:6

HARUACH HAKODESH
      We believe in the present ministry of HaRuach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) by whose indwelling Yeshua’s followers are enabled to live godly lives in supernatural power.Jeremiah 31:31-34; John 14:12-17; Galatians 5:13-25

CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
      We believe that Jews according to the flesh (descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob), who place their faith in Israel’s Messiah Yeshua have not disowned or separated themselves from their ethnic identity or Judaic heritage, but remain sons and daughters of Israel. Gentiles who place their faith in Israel’s Messiah Yeshua are also, spiritually, children of Israel.Genesis 15:6; Galatians 3:28-29; Romans 2:28-29

RESURRECTION
      We believe in the resurrection of both saved and lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to eternal separation from God, the latter being consigned to a state of everlasting punishment.Psalm 69:28; Daniel 12:2; Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:12-15

UNITY OF THE BODY
      We believe in the spiritual unity of all followers of Yeshua the Messiah as members of the universal body or Church of the redeemed, the middle wall of partition which in times past separated Jews and Gentiles having been broken down so that now they are to worship together in the House of God.1 Corinthians 12:13; Hebrews 10:25; Ephesians 2:12-24, 3:6; Acts 10:34

JEWISH FOLLOWERS OF YESHUA
      We believe that as Jewish followers of Yeshua, we are called to maintain our Jewish biblical heritage and remain part of the Jewish people, in addition to the universal body of believers. This is part of our identity, calling and witness to the faithfulness of God, and consistent with the freedom given to Yeshua’s followers in the Brit Chadasha.Romans 3:1-4, 11:29; 1 Corinthians 7:17-20; Acts 21:20-24
