What We Believe
We believe that G-d has made the Gospel in
its very nature a
pre-eminently Jewish message, and given the Gospel especially to the
Jewish people (Romans 1:16)
G-d has called us to communicate the Good
News to the Jewish people in a bold, yet sensitive way.
G-d has called us to plant congregations in
order to
evangelize, disciple, and unite Jewish
and non-Jewish people.
G-d has called us to instruct our
non-Jewish brethren in regard to the Jewishness of the Gospel and the
responsibility to love and share the Gospel with Jewish people. Therefore we
covenant together to fulfill our calling, while remaining true to the sound
teaching of our faith as embodied in the following statement.
I. We
believe that the Scriptures, both the Tenach (Old Testament) and the B'rit
Hadasha (New Testament), are fully inspired and G-d's complete and final
revelation to mankind until the Messiah returns.
II.
We believe in the unity of G-d as reflected in the Shema. G-d is the
Creator of all things.
He is infinite and perfect, eternally existing as a tri-unity, Creator,
Redeemer, and Comforter.
III. We
believe that G-d the Redeemer (Son) became flesh in the person of Yeshua (Jesus)
of Nazareth, the promised Messiah. That He possesses all the distinct attributes
of deity and hence He is God.
IV.
We believe the Ruach HaKodesh (The Holy Spirit) possesses
all the distinct attributes of deity and hence He is God.
V. We
believe that anyone who by faith trusts Messiah Yeshua as Savior and Redeemer is
immediately forgiven of sin and becomes a child of G-d. This salvation is not
the result of any human effort or merit.
VI. We
believe the law of G-d as revealed through Moses (The Torah) is
instruction for our lifestyle in Messiah. The purpose of observing Biblical
practices are to focus on biblical truths and magnify Yeshua (Jesus).
