A Brief Summary of Messianic Beliefs
We
believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God.
We believe that God is One, manifested in
the persons of the Father, the Son
(Proverbs 30:4-6), and the Holy Spirit
(Genesis 1:1-2) as revealed in the
Scriptures.
We
believe that God created the heavens and the earth and formed mankind in His
image.
We
believe that God established his covenants of redemption with the patriarchs
as a promise and inheritance for every generation to receive.
We believe in the deity of the Yeshua,
the Messiah, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his miracles, in
his atoning death through his shed blood as a final sacrifice for mankind's
sin.
We
believe
in the bodily resurrection of Yeshua, in his
ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return to
Jerusalem in
power and glory.
We believe in repentance and trust in
Messiah Yeshua for the forgiveness of sin.
We believe
that regeneration by the Holy Spirit enables believers to live godly and
fruitful lives.
We believe in the
resurrection of life for the righteous and the resurrection of wicked for
judgment.
We believe in the spiritual
unity of all believers in Yeshua, who was and is the Jewish Messiah.
We believe that Jewish
followers of Yeshua are called to maintain their Jewish heritage and
identity, as a remnant of Israel who live by faith in the Messiah.
This is part of their witness to the faithfulness of God concerning Israel.
We believe that non-Jewish
believers in Messiah are grafted into the Jewish olive tree (Romans
11 & Ephesians 2) and are encouraged to
understand and appreciate the Jewish roots of their faith. They are not obligated to live
as Jews, but are encouraged to support Jewish believers and the interests of
world Jewry.
