Statement of Belief

• The Bible 
  The Bible, consisting of the Old Testament (Tanakh) and the New Testament, is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God, serving as our final authority in faith and practice. The Old Testament retains enduring value under the New Covenant as a revelation of God’s will and nature. (Matt 5:17-19; Rom 15:4; 2 Tim 3:16-17; 2 Pet 1:19-21)
  
• God 
  There is one eternal God, Creator of heaven and earth, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Gen 1:1; Exod 3:15; Deut 6:4; Matt 28:19; 2 Cor 13:14)
  
• Humanity and Sin 
  Created in God’s image, humanity fell through Adam’s disobedience, bringing sin, spiritual and physical death, and separation from God to all people. (Gen 1:26-27; Isa 59:2; Rom 3:23; Rom 5:12; Eph 2:1-3)
  
• Jesus-Yeshua the Messiah 
  Jesus-Yeshua is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully human. Born of a virgin in the line of David, He lived a sinless life, perfectly fulfilled the Torah, died as the atoning sacrifice for Israel and the nations, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to the Father’s right hand, and now reigns with all authority. (Isa 7:14; Isa 53:4-6; John 1:14; Rom 1:3; 1 Cor 15:3-8; Phil 2:5-11; Heb 4:15)
  
• The Holy Spirit 
  The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, regenerates believers, and provides His indwelling presence to guide believers into all truth. He empowers the Church for godly living and to be His witnesses, distributing spiritual gifts to build up the body of believers. All New Testament gifts of the Spirit, including healing, remain active and operate in the Church today. (Joel 2:28-29; John 16:8-14; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-4, 39; 1 Cor 12:4-11; 1 Cor 14:1)
  
• Salvation 
  Salvation is a free gift of grace, received through repentance toward God and faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus-Yeshua the Messiah. As the only Mediator and the only name by which we can be saved, Jesus-Yeshua grants believers forgiveness, spiritual regeneration, union with Himself, and the hope of bodily resurrection and eternal life. (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Rom 3:20-24; Rom 10:9-10; Eph 2:8-9; 1 Tim 2:5; Titus 3:5)
  
• The Church 
  The Church is the one body of Messiah, uniting Jewish and Gentile believers as “one new man” through His blood. While God’s covenants with Israel remain distinct, believing Jews and Gentiles form one people of God, called to worship, make disciples, proclaim the Gospel, demonstrate love, and advance His kingdom in every sphere of life. (Matt 28:18-20; John 17:20-21; Rom 11:17-24; Eph 2:14-16)
  
• Israel and the Jewish People 
  God chose the patriarchs and the Jewish people, establishing an everlasting covenant to bless all nations. His election, gifts, and calling to Israel are irrevocable. He is restoring them to the land and will give them a new heart as they turn to their Messiah in faith. Like all humanity, Jewish people must believe in Jesus-Yeshua to be eternally saved. (Gen 12:1-3; Ezek 36:24-28; Rom 1:16; Rom 11:23; Rom 11:28-29)
  
• The Second Coming and Final Judgment
  At Jesus-Yeshua’s personal, visible return, believers will be resurrected and caught up to meet Him as He establishes a thousand-year reign of peace and righteousness, ruling on David’s throne in Jerusalem. Following Jesus-Yeshua’s defeat of Satan’s final rebellion, the final judgment will occur. The lost will be resurrected to the resurrection of damnation. The saved, having already been resurrected at the Second Coming, will inherit the eternal kingdom as God establishes a fully renewed creation where His people will dwell forever. (Isa 11:1-9; Zech 14:4; Dan 12:2; Matt 24:29-31; Luke 1:32; John 5:28-29; Acts 1:11; Rom 11:25-27; 1 Thes 4:16-17; Rev 20:1-15; Rev 21:1-4)
