| 1). We
believe there is one true and living G-d, existing as Avinu
(Our Father), Yeshua (Son) and Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit),
equal in power and glory; and this Elohim
(G-D Head) created
all, upholds all, and governs all.
2). We believe that the entire Holy Scriptures (Tanach and
B'rit Hadasha) are the work of G-d, fully inspired without
error in their original manuscripts and the infallible rule
for faith, practice and lifestyle.
3). We believe that G-d the Father is an infinite personal
Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love; that
He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men; that
He hears and answers our prayers; and that He saves from
sin and death all that come to Him through the Messiah,
Yeshua.
4). We believe that Yeshua is the Messiah; that He is G-d's
only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born
of a virgin; that He lived a sinless life, performed miracles
and teachings, died as a substitutionary atonement, bodily
resurrected and ascended into heaven providing perpetual
intercession for His people; and His personal, visible return
to earth is imminent exactly as prophesied.
5). We believe in the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), who
came forth from Avinu, through Yeshua, to reprove the world
of sin, to indwell and to empower all who believe in Messiah
as an all abiding helper, teacher and guide.
6). We believe in being faithful to G-d's commandments embodied
in the Torah that He gave to Moses at Mt. Sinai; that the
Torah reflects the practical wisdom of a loving G-d, intentionally
given to His children to set them apart from the world,
to preserve and protect them through faith and to guide
them to mature faith and righteousness; that the Torah is
the basis for our biblical heritage of our faith, but the
Torah is not the basis for our salvation.
7). We believe in Mikveh (baptism) which preserves the biblical
practice of Tevilah (full immersion) for purification in
the living waters; and the laying on of hands for S'Mikhah
(ordination), for healing and for receiving the manifestations
of the Holy Spirit.
8). We believe in the imminent return of Yeshua HaMashiach
to earth, to establish His Kingdom, to rule and reign over
the earth from Jerusalem in peace and righteousness; and
that the Body of believers will be resurrected to whereeternal
blessings for the righteous and endless suffering for the
wicked.
