Core Beliefs

JERUSALEM - Yerushalayim has been the capital of the nation of Israel since the days of King David. Before David it was the holy city of MelchiTzedek. Yerushalayim is hallmarked through the Holy Scriptures as the holy city, the city of God, Zion, and the vineyard of YHWH, the Land's Lord. Yerushalayim has an eternal future and it will soon be the seat of Yeshua's millennial reign as King of Kings!

BIBLE - The canonical Holy Scriptures are the Divine Library. The Holy Scriptures in their entirety are inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative, trustworthy, and the final revelation of God to man. The Holy Scriptures alone are the Word of God!

TRINITY - God is eternally co-existent in three distinct persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit as revealed in the Divine Holy Scriptures. All three, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are echad or "one," and all three are YHWH. Yeshua HaMashiach is the visible image of the invisible YHWH.

SALVATION - Eternal salvation rests upon an individual's faith in the life, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and [High] Priestly intercession of Yeshua. Salvific biblical faith is experiential and regenerative. Once one is regenerated or born into the spiritual and eternal kingdom of God, it is impossible for him or her to become unregenerate, just as it is impossible for one to become unborn in this kingdom. One may die, but he or she may NEVER become unborn. A saved person is saved by the incorruptible seed of God and is indwelt by the Ruach haQodesh, the Holy Spirit. Believers are eternally secure. Professers are not eternally secure. Many will say, "Lord! Lord!" He will say, "Depart from me you worker of iniquity. I never [ever] knew you!"

HOLY SPIRIT - Yochanon the Immerser or John the Baptist immersed OT believers into the element of water. All believers in Yeshua Who is the new baptizer are baptized by Yeshua under the element of the Holy Spirit. The result of Yeshua's baptism is a "new man" that has resurrected from the old life to a new life. This is regeneration! The new creature bears the fruit of the Holy Spirit and he is proclaimed perfect by the Father. This is justification. One who has been born-again and is regenerated is presently being perfected by the Holy Spirit. This is sanctification. One day all of us who are saved will be perfected like unto the image of Yeshua, the Son of God. This is  glorification. 

COVENANT - The Torah or Mosaic code was given to Israel at Mount Sinai. It was not applicable to those before Mount Sinai nor is it applicable to those saved under the New Covenant. The Torah or Law has become obsolete as a covenant to the New Testament believer (Hebrews 8:13). As prophesied by Yermiyahu (Jeremiah 31:31) YHWH has made brit chadesha or a "new covenant," and He made the new covenant with Israel foremost, and then the world. The Apostle Shaul (Paul) likened Israel's relationship to the OT Torah as one of marriage. Only death could severe a marriage covenant! Our marriage to the Torah or Law was severed by our death, not the death of the Law. How did we die? Believers in Yeshua died with Yeshua! We have become dead to the Mosaic Law just as a marriage is severed by the death of the spouse. Believers in Yeshua have a new husband! No longer the Law, but Yeshua! The old covenant has been severed by death of both Yeshua and the believer. It is a very sad commentary that many messianic believers are celebrating their former husband, forgetting they are married to a new husband who is not a Levite High Priest, but a Judahite High Priest, of the order of Melchitzedek. Read Romans 7:4 to know more.

SALVATION - The believer in Yeshua (1) was saved at a point-in-time. That was his/her regeneration; (2) is being saved as he/she lives and matures as a believer each and every day, and (3) will be saved in the future and for eternity. The Good Shepherd has never lost a sheep -not one! The Word of God is an incorruptible seed/sperm which germinates in the heart of a believer giving an incorruptible life. The crises is that we continue to drag around the old man. Our victory is remembering we have been crucified with Yeshua.

ESCHATOLOGY - The biblical truth of a pre-tribulation rapture or the Great Snatching of the saints from the earth by Yeshua was the doctrine of the apostles. Yeshua is coming for His bride, His body, His church, before the dreadful Day of the Lord spoken of by the OT prophets. The rapture of the holy ones from the earth is imminent. following the rapture of the church and prior to the Second Coming of Yeshua to the earth to reign for one-thousand years, the Bible teaches that Israel will face The Great Tribulation also known as Jacob's Trouble, when Messiah Yeshua will cause the unbelieving nation of Israel to experience His wrath for seven years. Messiah Yeshua will then return to save His remnant ("all Israel will be saved..." Romans 11), and then, Yeshua will reign from Jerusalem, on the Davidic throne, over all the earth, for one thousand literal years (Revelation 21,22). Following His millennial kingdom, we enter the eternal state.
