The Bible, both the Old and New Testament, in its entirety
is the only infallible authority concerning God, His Word, His principles, and
His deeds which were revealed to the writers by and through the inspiration of
the Holy Spirit.
- 2Timothy 3:16; 2Peter 1:21
There
is One God who is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. He is revealed by
the three distinct persons of the Trinity–God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit. These three are One.
-
Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 1Corinthians 8:6
We believe in the simple Gospel message of –
Jesus, the Christ, crucified; Jesus, the Christ, has risen; Jesus, the Christ,
will come again.
- 1Corinthians 1:23; 1Corinthians
15:20; Acts 1:11; Colossians 3:4
The
definition of Eternal Life as defined by Jesus, Himself - “And this is life eternal, that they
might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. – John 17:3
Jesus’
main purpose for His first appearance on this earth was to preach the Good News.
The Good News being that restoration in the relationship between man and the
Father, would now be available.
John 17:21 - That
they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that
they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Jesus,
the Christ is God come in the flesh – a
fact proven by His virgin birth, sinless life, His works and words, His
sacrificial atoning death on the cross, His defeat of the forces of darkness in
hell, His bodily resurrection, His appearances to His disciples, and His
ascension to the right hand of the Father.
- Luke 1:26-38; Isaiah 7:17; Hebrews 4:15;
John 14:9-11; Galatians1:4; Colossians 2:15; Luke 24; Colossians 3:1
Jesus
Christ is Lord - the absolute, supreme and final authority over all things.
- Philippians 2:6-11; Hebrews 1:4
Salvation
only comes through the accepting of Jesus as a person's Savior and Lord. Through
Jesus, the believer is “saved” from being eternally separated from God, as well
as being saved from an eternity in hell. This is accomplished when a
person believes in their heart and confesses with their mouth that Jesus is
their Lord and Savior becoming a “new creation” in Christ through the
regenerative power of the Holy Spirit. This is in acknowledgment that the
individual believes that Jesus came in the flesh, died and took the punishment
for all their sins, defeated satan and rose from the dead on the third day and
is now seated on the right hand of the Father.
- Romans 10:9-10; Acts 4:12; John 3:3-8;
2Corinthians 5:17
Jesus,
through His death by crucifixion, became the once and for all final sacrifice as
the Lamb of God, which brought to its completion both the sacrificial system of
the Mosaic Law and therefore the Levitical priesthood, as well. Through Jesus, as
our High Priest, we as believers in Him are now a “holy an royal priesthood” who
are to “show forth the praises of our God” and offer up ourselves as “living sacrifices”
holy and acceptable unto Him.
-
Hebrews 10:1-19; Hebrews 2:17; Hebrews 4:12; Romans 12:1; 1Peter
2:5,9
We believe
fully what Jesus taught concerning that if we truly love Him, “we will keep His
commandments.”
-
John 14:15; John 15:10
The baptism
and fullness of the Holy Spirit is available to all believers, freely given to
all those who ask for it, for the purpose of empowering the believer in
bringing forth the Kingdom of God upon this earth through the manifestation of
spiritual gifts as well as signs and wonders confirming the Word of God.
- Acts 2:1-4; Luke 11:13; John 14:12; Acts
2:1; 1Corinthians 12:4-11
We, the
believers in Jesus Christ, as His bride, will be “caught up” to meet Jesus at
the time appointed by God, the Father on that “Great Day.”
- 1Thessalonians 4:16-18; Acts 1:11
Our
Worship must not be something we do at specific times but rather it must become
a lifestyle, an attitude of the heart, which then allows the true worshipper to
continually be in the presence of the One who alone is worthy to be worshiped
and glorified. Worship is not for the believer but rather it is totally unto,
and for, the pleasure of our King."
- John 4: 23, 24; Philippians 3:8-10
Israel
and the Jewish People - Jesus Christ was and is the Jewish Messiah who came to
save His own first. God has never stopped loving Israel nor has He taken them
out of His eternal plan. It is our responsibility as believers in Yeshua to
love the Jewish people so that they can see their Messiah in and through the
believers. It is God’s desire that Jew and Gentile no longer be separated but worship
together as the “One New Man in
Christ.”
- Romans 11:11, 25-28; Ephesians 2:14-19;
Galatians 3:28
