We stand by these basic Biblical truths:
• We believe in only one true and living
G-d as declared in the Sh’ma (Devarim
[Deuteronomy] 6:4), Who is Echad (one, a compound unity),
and Who eternally and simultaneously and distinctly exists as
G-d the Father (Abba), G-d the Son (HaBen
Yeshua), and G-d the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh)
(Yesha`yahu
[Isaiah] 48:16-17,
B'resheet [Genesis] 1:1-2,
Sh'mot [Exodus] 3:6,
Mishle [Proverbs] 30:4,
Ephesians 4:4-6).
• We believe in Messiah Yeshua’s deity (Yesha`yahu
[Isaiah] 9:6,
Yochanan [John] 1:1-4,10-14),
His virgin birth (Yesha`yahu
[Isaiah] 7:14), His sinless life, His atoning death (Yesha`yahu
[Isaiah] 53,
Tehillim [Psalms] 22), His bodily resurrection, His ascension, and
His future return in power and glory to rule the world from the throne
of his ancestor David.
• We believe that the whole Bible —
consisting of both the TaNaKh (so-called “Hebrew Scriptures”)
and the Ketuvei HaShalichim (Apostolic Scriptures) — is the one
and only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of G-d
(Tehillim
[Psalms] 119:89,
Mishle [Proverbs] 30:5-6,
2 Timothy 3:16-17).
• We believe in G-d’s
eternal covenant with Avraham, Yitzhak (Isaac), and Ya'akov (Jacob),
and with Ya'akov’s descendants forever. We therefore unconditionally
stand with and support the Jewish people and the State of Israel, and
hold fast to the Biblical heritage of our forefathers.
• We further believe that the Messianic Restoration
Movement is the beginning of the fulfillment of the Biblical
prophecies concerning the Restoration of Israel that will be
completely fulfilled in the Messianic Age, when HaMelech Yeshua
HaMashiach will reign physically on earth from His throne in
Jerusalem, and that it is also the beginning of the fulfillment of the
prophecies in
Zekharyah [Zechariah] chapters 6 and 9
concerning the Gentiles who will worship alongside the Jews in the
Temple of HaShem (see especially
8:20-23), which will also be completely fulfilled in the Messianic
Age.
