WE BELIEVE:

✡ The Bible, consisting of the T’nakh (Old Covenant Scriptures) and the B’rit Hadasha (New Covenant Scriptures) to be inspired and the only infallible and authoritative Word of God [2 Timothy 3:16-17].

✡ There is one God as declared in the Shema [Deuteronomy 6:4], who is “Echad,” a compound unity, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit [Isaiah 48:16-17; Ephesians 4:4-6].

✡ In the Deity of our Lord, Messiah Yeshua, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His personal future return to this earth in power and glory to rule.

✡ That man, through his sin, is separated from God [Isaiah 59:2] and only by repentance and by faith in Yeshua’s sacrificial death can he be cleansed and reconciled to God [Isaiah 53:6; 1 Peter 1:18-21].

✡ In the present ministry and gifts of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) by whose indwelling power the believer is enabled to live a holy life.

✡ In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto eternal life and they that are lost unto eternal separation from God.

✡ In the unity of all believers in Messiah Yeshua, and that all are now partakers of the spiritual inheritance of Israel [1 Corinthians 7:17-19; Galatians 3:26-29; Ephesians 2:11-18].

✡ That the nation of Israel is chosen by God to be a channel of blessing to all nations on earth and that return of the Jewish people to the land is fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. There in Jerusalem the Messiah Yeshua will come again to establish His worldwide rule with all nations coming to gaze on Him with joy [Genesis 12:1-3; Zechariah 12:10; 13:1; Romans 11].

✡ In the partaking of the elements of the matzah (unleavened bread) and the cup (fruit of the vine) as instituted by Yeshua HaMashiach at His last Passover meal; that the elements are symbolic of the Lord’s broken body and shed blood [1 Corinthians 11:23-24].

✡ In the immersion of believers (t’villah) as commanded in the Scriptures as an outward sign of an inward salvation experience, symbolizing the death of the old man and the resurrection unto newness of life [Matthew 3:16; 28:16; 28:18-20; Romans 6:1-6].
