1.  GOD

A.     We believe in One God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is the First, and He is the Last, and nothing can compare to Him. God is One (Deuteronomy 6:4), and there is no other.  

B.     The Shema, (Hear O Israel, the LORD our God the LORD is One), a fundamental prayer in Judaism, is not just a part of our faith but its cornerstone. It encapsulates all 613 mitzvot (commandments), making it a powerful testament to our beliefs.

​

2.   THE MASHIACH (MESSIAH)

A.     We believe: Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth is the promised Jewish Messiah spoken of by Moses and the prophets of Israel. We believe Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel and the savior of the world (1 John 4:14-15)

B.     We believe The Mashiach (Messiah) represents a Yechidah (singularity) with Israel, and any attempt to separate Yeshua from His Jewish people reflects a separation from the root.

C.     He is the Embodiment of the Word of God (John 1:14), the Light from the Beginning, the Instrument through which all things were made (John 1:3, Proverbs 8:22-30).

D.    We believe in Yeshua’s virginal conception, sinless life, miracles, vicarious and atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension and return to the world to rule from Jerusalem (Revelation 20:6).

 

3.   SCRIPTURE

A.     We believe: “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,  that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16 and we accept its teachings as the final authority in matters of faith and practice (2 Timothy 2:16-17).

B.     We believe that the Torah is still in effect, and will not pass away until heaven and earth pass away (Matthew 5:17).

 

4.   THE COVENANTS

A.     The Tanakh (Torah, Prophets and writings) is God’s love letter to the Jewish people, which is a binding Ketubah (marriage contract) until heaven and earth pass away (Jeremiah 31:35-37).

B.     The believers of the nations are invited to partake of Israel's covenants, the result of which will reflect in their lifestyle and commitment to HaShem and the Mashiach (Messiah). (Ephesians 2:11-13).

C.    There is a unique calling and role of the Messianic Jewish believers and in the calling of the nations (Gentiles) to build the Kingdom of God together.

5.   ISRAEL

A.     Ahavat Yisrael (love of Israel) and Ahavat HaZalut (love of your neighbor) is the core foundation which leads to authentic Messianic faith as an integral part of the salvation of all Israel (Romans 11).

B.     We reject Replacement Theology (Supersessionism), and believe Israel and the Jewish People are still the Chosen People, and have not been replaced (Jeremiah 33:20), and that to them, were committed the words of God (Romans 3:2)

C.     We believe the role of Messianic Jews in the world is not just to exist but to actively distribute the light. They become Or L’Goyim (light to the nations) by introducing those of the nations (Gentiles) to the covenants of Israel and the ultimate light, which is the Messiah, our righteousness through their fullness. We believe that non-Jewish believers are grafted in through Yeshua (Jesus). (Romans 9-11, Ephesians 2).

D.    We believe that the modern state of Israel is the beginning of the fulfillment of prophecy (Hosea 6:2, Isaiah 66:8, Ezekiel 36), in preparation for the return of Yeshua (Jesus).

 

6.   THE GEULAH (REDEMPTION)

A. In order to restore the Mashiach to Zion we must rectify His Name through returning to an authentic Messianic Jewish framework.

B.  We believe salvation is by faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8). Real faith produces works as a byproduct, through the power of the Holy Spirit (James 2:14-26). Based on our actions, observance of mitzvot (commandments), and daily walk with God, we can hasten or delay the Mashiach's (Messiah's) return. (2 Peter 3:11-12) In order to restore the Mashiach (Messiah) to Zion we must rectify His Name through returning to an authentic Messianic Jewish framework.  

D.  We believe the blood of the Messiah provides atonement for all sins. (1 John 2:2)
