Statement of Faith and Commitments
1. We believe in One Elohim.
There is no other Elohim, but Yahweh,
and Yahshua is His Son.
He is not a trinity, a triune-god, or a god with three
heads. He revealed Himself to Moses as Yahweh, Exodus 3:
14-15. Shema Yisrael, Yahweh Elohaynu Yahweh Echad, Deut.6: 4.
I am Elohim, and there is no other; I am Elohim, and there is
none like Me, Is. 46: 9. I am the first and I am the last;
apart from Me, there is no Elohim, Is.44: 6. Is there any Elohim besides me?, Is. 44: 8.
2. We believe that Elohim sent His only Son, Yahshua, that whosoever
believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life,
John 3:16. Yahshua is the Messiah (Mashiach, Moshiach)
promised to Israel and the world. He is our atonement. There
is salvation in no other name, but the name of Yahshua, only,
Acts 4:12.
3. We acknowledge and do not deny the name of the Father, Rev.3: 8. "My
name is Yahweh," says He who lives forever and ever, " I will
not give My glory to another," Is.42: 8. No authority or worm
on earth has the power to tell His Called-Out Ones, His Miqra,
to deny His name in which there is healing, power, and
salvation. No other name has he given to His Hebrew People.
Yahweh's name we praise in the Congregation of Saints,
Ps113:3. He is Elohim Shaddai, Creator of all things, seen and
unseen. He said not to Moshe to call Him Hashem (ha shem = the
name). We shall not cause His people to forget His name,
Jeremiah 23.
4. No one can go to the Father except through Yahshua,
Yahweh's Salvation for us.
5. We are in this world, but we are not a part of it,
John 17. Our Kingdom is yet to come. We are commanded to come
out and be separate, Rev. 18:4, and to
not touch of the world's unclean things. We therefore follow
the rules of Lev. 11. We seek to live in our own town, in a
Location Apart, where we can raise our families in peace and
security.
6. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, and that
every man will personally and individually answer before
Yahweh's throne for every evil deed and word. There are two
resurrections: one at the beginning of the Millennium on
earth, and the second resurrection at the end of the
Millennium, Rev. 20: 4-7.
7. We believe in the brotherhood of mankind and in the
biblical teaching of one race. We reject the subdivision
of mankind in terms of races, which is an invention of racist
European minds in the 18th Century.
There is no black, white,
yellow, Jews and non-Jews in Yahshua. We, Messianic Hebrews,
have one Father and one citizenship in heaven. We pray for the
peace of Jerusalem.
8. We believe in the entire Ten Commands given to Moshe on
Mount Sinai, and in the Testimony of Yahshua which is the
Good News of the Kingdom of Elohim, as it was delivered to the
Saints, once and for all Jude 3-4, and as it was practiced by
Yahweh's Apostles, with no addition or subtraction.
We are
Torah Keepers, standing on the foundation of the Apostles and
the Prophets.
9. We believe in Yahweh's Feast Days, beginning with
the weekly 7th Day Shabbat, as given to the children of Israel to be
celebrated from generations to generations, until everything
is fulfilled.
10. We believe in helping one another to make it into the
Kingdom, keeping ourselves sanctified, and being free from
the yokes of Babylon. To achieve this we are committed to
pulling our resources together to create financial freedom. We
are doers of the Faith, not talking-lips about a faith.
11. We hold the Torah, the Prophets, and the Brit Chadashah
Book of the Renewed Covenant Texts, to be Yahweh's sole inspired
Scriptures, the final authority over our faith. We reject
all forms of heathenism, the introduction of idols and images,
the symbol of the cross, Christmas, Easter, and all other such
abominations before Elohim.
12. We are committed to the territorial integrity of
Eretz-Yisrael from the Red Sea to the Euphrates. We reject
any so-called peace accord aimed at dividing Eretz-Yisrael to
create another state within a state. We hold Yerushalayim to
be the eternal capital of Israel. No other nation, no other
entity (on earth or in heaven) has any right to any part of
Israel.
Woe unto anyone who divides the spoil of our people Israel,
the Apple of Yahweh's Eyes.
13. We baptize by immersion, in the name of Yahshua only,
following the Hebrew Apostles' example. The Father delegated
authority to Yahshua. Yahshua delegates that same authority to
His disciples, John 17:18. The Ruach is the same Spirit of
both the Father and the Son. The Father's Spirit does not have
a name. The Father is Spirit, anyway, John 4:24. How can a
Spirit have a Spirit? Only He is the Beginning and the End.
Messianic Hebrews believe in a compounding manifestation of
the Father , the Son, and the Father's other attribute, we
call the Ruach. The Father is greater than the Son, though. We
do not delve into foolish speculation into areas beyond men's
extreme mental limitations. Their real co-existential unity
nobody can truly understand.
14. We follow a Lunar Calendar, but we do not look for
a Crescent Moon, as is the custom of some people.
15. The Rapture Theory is a Christian hoax. We believe
not in such fable.
16. We do not smoke or abuse alcohol. Those who smoke
weed and any other
illegal substance do not belong among us.
17. No dead body must ever be brought inside our place of
worship. It is an abomination.
18. We worship barefoot, and our sisters cover their
heads, Exodus 3: 15; Jos.5: 15.
19. We do not practice the pagan
habit of praying toward the East, as seen among
many who are bent on following their own ways and man-made
doctrines from those they believe are their superior, Ezekiel
8: 1-16; Is. 2: 6; 47: 12.
An Interesting Note
from Sister Willonne:
We serve One Elohim, he is not a trinity! Praise Yah for the
wisdom that He has imparted to His chosen-ones. I am truly
humbled and inspired by the outpouring of the Spirit evidenced
among Yahshua’s People...
Understand. I am made up of body, soul and spirit -- am
I three people? Absolutely not!!! I am one Willonne. Certainly
the Omniscient Creator of the Universe can manifest in His
creation according to His own desire. Their are several
different manifestions of the Father in the Torah, but we
serve One Elohim and He does not give His desire to another.
He is not subject to another. The scriptures state that
Messiah would be called Immanuel (Elohim with us).
This was a
prophetic indication that He would be Elohim YHWH
manifested in the flesh. His very name ...simply means salvation.
Our Elohim Yahushua means Yahuweh is salvation!!! There is
none else to save but Yahuweh, deliverance is found in no
other. The blood of animals is not a Kippur for us it is
simply a picture of the sacrifice, the ultimate show of love
and humility, that was to come. Elohim Himself looked down on
His creation and poured Himself out and became born of a woman
and walked in our shoes, overcame the flesh and its lusts,
delivered Himself up to
be impaled on a stake while His very creation taunted Him and
casts lots at His feet. When He was thirsty, He was given
vinegar to drink there was no display of compassion for Him.
He gave up His life -- it was not taken from Him and Elohim's
Ruach working in Messiah Yahushua raised our Master from the
grave (Rom. 8:11). It is through this example, His Kippur and
His Spirit working in us that gives us the endurance to
overcome the laws of this age.
YHWH did not have to send Yahushua, but He did because
He is the good Shepherd and He would not leave us without an
example in the most awesome display of love shown to mankind.
His birth, life, ministry, death, burial and resurrection in
the person of Messiah Yahushua was the Father Himself showing
us a perfect example of love, humility and obediance. It is
the Father who trains the children (we are his children - even
His firstborn), it is the Father who leads the family (we are
His family - even His bride). He left us with a commandment to
love one another as He has loved us, NO greater love than this
for a man to lay down his life for his friends. He commands
men to love
his wife as his own body. That is the example of a Father
truly turning his heart back to his children.
The appointed feasts all reveal who Messiah really is,
the Messiah is a picture of the Father and His Set-Apart
Spirit is the essence of who He really is. Our finite minds
cannot comprehend the awesomeness of this mystery which is to
be revealed when Messiah returns. I thank Elohim that you have
a medium via the internet to broadcast this truth. We do not
serve two masters, definitely not
three. Our Elohim is All in All, He is the Aleph and the Taw,
He is not a compound unity -- He Is!!!
His name says it all -- YHWH (I will be, what I will be
simply put). We are His delight, the workmanship of His
hands, He is eternal from everlasting to everlasting.
Praise Yah!!!
