| We believe that many organizations hide behind a "statement of faith" and use it as a set of esoteric, even occultic beliefs that are too sacred to discuss. We believe this is sinful and as a result will be happy to discuss any and all ideas in an exoteric, open and straight forward manner. Our Father is still teaching, still speaking and we should still be listening and learning...as living epistles, not considering ourselves to have achieved that for which we were purchased. We have not arrived yet! 1. We believe that the scriptures, both the Tanakh (Old Testament) and the Brit Hadasha (New Testament), is the inspired and authoritative Word of God in the original form. We also believe that people would do well to study reputable historical sources outside of the scriptures for the scripture in its original form is true, but it is not all of the truth. (1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21) 2. We believe that entertaining tribal geneologies proves nothing apart from the fact that we are born dead in sin and in need of a savior. Doing this is as dysfunctional as identifying ourselves with any one of the world religions. We believe that Israel (Northern Kingdom) & Judah (Southern Kingdom) are about to be beaten together into relative unity and that no earthly organization will be "the way"...Y'shua is the way. We do believe the earth is going to get hotter, but not because of our carbon footprint and greenhouse gases...rather, dividing Jerusalem. 3. We believe that Y'shua (Jesus Christ) is the Son of God; the Messiah. We believe that as God's Son, He became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory of the only begotten Son of God. (John 1:1-14; Colossians 2:9) 4. We believe in the deity of Y'shua (Jesus Christ) and His virgin birth (Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25), in His atonement for man's sins through His shed blood (Isaiah 53; Daniel 9:24-27; Romans 3:21-31; Hebrews 9, 10), in His bodily resurrection (Zechariah 12:10, Zechariah 14; Matthew 28), and in His personal return in power and glory to defeat the enemies of the Israel. (Daniel 7:9-14; Matthew 26:57-64; Revelation 1:1-18). 5. We believe that Y'shua (Jesus Christ) is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and that no one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 14:6, John 6:29, John 40, John 44; 1 John 5:11) 6. We believe that without holiness no man can see God. We believe in the doctrine of sanctification as a definite, yet progressive, work of grace commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation. (1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Peter 3:18; Hebrews 12:14) 7. We believe that Jewish and non-Jewish people who trust in Y'shua (Jesus Christ) are grafted into the olive tree of Israel which grants them the privilege of following the torah (God's teachings and instructions) having written it upon their hearts as participants of the New Covenant. (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Romans 11:11-26) 8. We believe in the resurrection of both the wicked and the righteous. Those who have trusted in Y'shua (Jesus Christ) will be resurrected unto life and those who die without having believed in Y'shua (Jesus Christ) will experience separation from God. (John 5:19-29; Romans 1:18; 1 Corinthians 15; Revelation 20; Revelation 21) 9. We believe holiness, which is a lifestyle of purity, is God's standard for His children. (1 Thessalonians 4:7; Luke 1:75; Hebrews 12:14) 10. We believe in the premillennial second coming of Y'shua (Jesus Christ) and that He will reign on the earth one thousand years (the millenium). (1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17; Zechariah 14:4-5 2; Thessalonians 1:7) 11. We believe that the gifts of the Ruach HaKodesh (The Holy Spirit) are for the believers today, and that more often than not they are grossly misunderstood and sometimes purposefully misrepresented. (1 Corinthians 12:4-10) 12. We believe that the torah given to Moses was given as teaching and instructions for Godly living and was never intended for the purpose of salvation. We believe that these teachings and instructions expose man's sinful nature. (Deuteronomy 28:9; Psalm 1:1-3; Romans 3:31; 7:12; 1 John 5:3) 13. We believe that Y'shua (Jesus Christ) came not to do away with the torah given to Moses, but to affirm it. We also believe that He is the perfect expression of the teachings and instructions (torah) in the flesh. (Matthew 5:17-20) 14. We believe that we are living in the last days just prior to the Second Coming of Y'shua (Jesus Christ), and that as children of light, this day should not surprise us for we do not live in darkness. We believe that the key to understanding YHWH's schedule is found in His cyclical feasts (set times). (1 Thessalonians 5) 15. We believe that Jews who trust in Y'shua (Jesus Christ) have not separated themselves from their race, commandments of God, Jewish heritage or the torah...though it is what most of Christianity encourages. 16. We believe that Christianity has conjured a Greco-Roman worldview of the scriptures and Messiah. The only way to properly understand the scriptures is to view them through the culture and languages of those who penned them. Having said that, we believe YHWH loves Christians...and Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and others who defile themselves inside and outside of the world's religions. 17. We believe that Gentiles who trust in Y'shua (Jesus Christ) are also part of the Israel of God and that it should not be considered coincidence that there is not one gate into the New Jerusalem named after any denomination or religion. Sectarianism is forbidden though we lap it up, Messiah's body should not be divided. (Romans 2:28-29; Galatians 3:28-29) 18. We vociferously reject all forms of replacement theology, reverse replacement theology, kingdom now theology, two covenant theolgy, emerging church theology and any theology that believes that "the kingdom" can be obtained in the flesh. If you still have aches and pains you are not in "the kingdom." 19. We understand that after the fall of man, shame set in and as a result blame. Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent, the serpent blames us and the cycle continues today. We believe that in order to be forgiven, you must first lay hold of the sin, take ownership of it, then turn it over. 20. We believe that all religion represents "a covering" that is not of His Spirit which seemingly hides our shame, giving us "identity." It is a temporal identity that was not present in the beginning before the fall, nor will it be in the kingdom of heaven on earth. We should follow Messiah's example and seek "identity" in the Eternal One, YHWH the God of Israel and no other. He did not identify with any sects or any religions and neither should we. 21. We believe that all identity apart from YHWH the God of Israel, will fade away as we present ourselves to him as he already sees us...like little children, who desperately need Him. 22. We believe that God loves sinners enough to give us the very best, Y'shua. Also, that those who are honest with YHWH come to him like little children. (John 3:16) 23. We believe that music is a powerful form of worship and adoration of YHWH\Y'shua. 24. While the music might be considered suspect...ZZ Top do in fact have cool beards. 25. Since we travel alot...we believe that fast food establishments should get creative with their pricing due to the downturn in the economic status of this once great nation.
