We
believe the one true living God has a proper name:
YHVH pronounced Yahveh or Yahweh. We
believe the Savior Messiah’s name was originally Yeshua in Hebrew, meaning
salvation or deliverance. We
believe you do not need to know or use these names to be saved.
They are another way of acknowledging our Heavenly
Father
and His salvation, Yeshua. We do
use the names of God and Jesus also. Exodus
3:15 & 6:3, Proverbs 30:4 THE
DEITY OF YESHUA: We
believe that the Messiah Yeshua is God and came in the flesh to show us the
proper way to walk with God by following His teachings and instructions. He
atoned for our sins by His death and resurrection.
Isaiah
44:6, John 1:1-3, 14:9, 1 Peter 1:17-21 SALVATION: We
believe that salvation is a free gift from YHVH (Ephesians 2:8).
To those whom He chooses, the Holy Spirit draws to confession of sin and
repentance. This allows for YHVH to
give them a new heart and a new spirit with His instructions and teachings
written on them to walk uprightly and away from sin. This is the new creation and temple of the living God.
Salvation is not earned by obedience to the commands but obedience
follows salvation as proof of being born again (1 John 2:3-4).
John
16:8, Ezekiel 36: 25-27, Hebrews 10: 16-17. TORAH: The Torah in the literal sense is the books of Genesis,
Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.
The Torah
also means teachings and instructions of YHVH.
We believe these instructions are the foundation of our walk with Yeshua
and define what are YHVH guidelines for holy and upright living.
Disobedience to them is called sin in 1 John 3:4. Abraham
is viewed as the spiritual father of all who share a similar faith in the
Messiah. Galatians 3:6-9; Galatians 4:28 The promises given to our
father of the faith are for us today.
We believe that as we study the Torah we see our need for salvation
through Yeshua and what He came to accomplish.
Psalm 40:7; Deuteronomy 6:24. .FEASTS
OF YHVH: Celebration of the yearly Feasts in Leviticus 23 reminds us of Yeshua’s purpose during His first coming
(the spring Feasts) and His second coming (the fall Feasts).
Acknowledging these produces praise and wisdom in what He has done and
will do as we wait for His appearing. END
TIMES: In this hour, YHVH is restoring the Tabernacles of David
(Amos 9:11-12: Acts 15: 13-18). The
El (God) of
David is bringing Judah (the Jews) back to the Land of Israel first as
prophesied in Zechariah 12:7. At the same time He is identifying
and drawing Ephraim (the 10 lost tribes) to join their brothers by obedience to
the Torah. We believe
that many believers are physical Ephraims, the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew
15:24). Now is the hour YHVH is lifting the veil and giving
revelation of their true identity. These
people who were once not my people, (Hosea 1:10; 1Peter 2:10), will be positioned to make Judah jealous so
all Israel will be saved. We believe that YHVH has only one group or fold of elect
called the Israel of YHVH or the body of Messiah.
All who would be part of it must have faith in Yeshua. We believe the end time saints will be those who keep the
commandments of God and hold the
testimony of Yeshua (Revelation 12:19 & 14:12). |
