Membership

We accept only individual Messianic Hebrew believers or Messianic Hebrew Congregations that are in agreement with our Statement of Faith. We do not believe in Jewish conversion of Gentiles. Being Jewish is not equivalent to a religion. Judaism is a religion. See our article, Messianic Hebrews, on Yahshua's People.

We require that you agree to take the Good News to all mankind, Mark 16:15, not just to our physical people Israel or to Jews; we mean everyone, specially those who are not of the house of physical Israel, Is.56: 8, and who are very much forgotten by some of those with the oracles of Elohim.

We do not offer ministerial licensing to any individual. Ministerial licensing is a worldly practice that is not sanctioned in the Scriptures. This should not be confused with the process of choosing ministers through prayers, the imposition of hands, and the testimony of local Assembly, Acts 6: 1-7, 1 Timothy 3: 1-13, Titus 1: 5-9, As stated in our Mission Statement we are an association of individual Messianic Hebrews and Messianic Hebrew Congregations, joined together with one love and one mind to further the cause of Yahweh's Kingdom on earth. Together we constitute a Tower of Strength under the leadership of Yahshua, the guidance of the Ruach, and the supervision of whomever Yahshua allows to head the direction of our operations.

It is unfortunate that some people feel that they have a need to seek credentials from men, receiving honor from one another, allowing themselves to be wrapped up in the mantel of such human schemes and emotions as a way to validate who and what they pretend to be in the eyes of those over which they seek to lord, John 5: 44.

Our members can apply as individuals or groups. The qualifications of any Applicant as leader, minister, or overseer of a Messianic Congregation comes from Yahweh. They are spelled out in 1 Timothy 3 and 2 Timothy 2: 24-26. The Applicant knows his spirit. Those that he wishes to oversee testify of their acceptance of his leadership. The Applicant knows what life he has been living and what Yahweh has proved in his life as evidences to his calling. The rest is between the Applicant and his Maker. Therefore, when we renew anyone membership, we only renew their standing with us to preach the Good News and set our people free. We do not endorse their growth or their continued ability (in terms of spiritual or 'theological' qualifications to occupy their post). Such an issue is decided in/by the local Congregations.

We do not award title of Apostle (Shaliach) and Prophet (Navi) to anybody. Worship leaders, teachers, evangelists, shepherds, etc. are named by local congregations, for they know their brothers and sisters best.

Contrary to what some Messianic associations are doing out there, MHI requires no one to confess to being a physical Jew. Such demand is totally ethnocentric, racist, and unbiblical. As argued before, Yahweh is looking for a Spiritual People from among all nations, peoples and tongues, not a physical seed. We are all one in Yahshua, one house, one faith, one doctrine, one baptism, and one Spirit.

To apply:
1. Two can't walk together unless they agree, Amos 3: 3. Agreeing with our Statement of Faith is, therefore, the first step.

2. Send a letter of intent. Simply state that you are a Messianic Hebrew Disciple or have accepted the Messianic Hebrew Faith, how long you've been walking with Yahshua, if you are married or single, if you agree with our regulations (your suggestions for addition are welcome).

Notice that we do not keep the Jewish Fixed-Calendar per se, which takes the daring liberty to postpone the beginning of Tishri and mess up with the dates of Passover, Shavuot, Yom Ha Kippurim, and Tabernacles, etc. We are strictly followers of the written Torah according to the Spirit. We do not postpone or change any Torah teaching to reinterpret it or even substituting it for rabbinical traditions or cultural heritage. We advise that you read our article titled: The Jewish Calendar, on Yahshua's People.

3. Ministers, Elders, or Rabbis (depending on what title you go by), need to send a picture. Other individuals do not have to.

4. Send a love contribution, which is an offering, (money order or personal check) with your application. Your contribution is refundable in your Income Tax Return. We are 501(c)(3) approved.

5. Sign up to be a Virtual Equity Member or a Pioneer Member of our Community.

Restrictions:

The following individuals need not apply:
Any one or group that presumes the name of Elohim, YHWH (Yahweh) cannot be said, called upon, or prayed to.
Any individual or group that will not depart from the use of pagan names, such as lord, god, and Jesus.
Ethnocentric Judaists at heart, who feel and teach that "the use of Yahweh and Yahshua are disrespectful of the most high".
Those who believe in a so-called Jewish conversion of other members of the human family.
Subtle anti-Semite, who profess to being authentic Jews and yet demean in their arrogant way and with their condescending and ignorant verbiage the Hebrew lineage of all the tribes of Israel, which are normally non-Jews, and all the descendants of Abraham and Isaac, including the True Spiritual Seed that comes from all nations, peoples and tongues that cross over (Hebrew) from bondage of sins to the side of Salvation and Grace in Yahshua. We repeat, there are no Jews, no Gentiles, no Africans, no Europeans, and no Hispanics, in Yahshua. Period.
Those who are not supportive of Eretz Yisrael in our people's struggle to secure a place to live on earth without being bombed, everyday. However, we do not promote hatred of our enemies, if any. There are good and bad Muslims. There are good and bad Palestinians, as well as there are good and bad Jews or Hebrews. We shall pray for them, too, for the enemy is the Grand Deceiver. Israel is My glory, Is. 46: 13.

The Tanack plainly says that from the days of Jeremiah many disobedient "Rabbis" tried to make My people forget My name for Ba'al (Lord), Jer. 23: 25-27. After the destruction of the Temple, in 70 A.D., the Massoretes who produced the Mishna, etc., became even bolder in their effort to eradicate the name of Yahweh from the memory of men. We do not walk in their footstep. Yahweh called no one to become a Judaist in order to walk with Yahshua. Therefore no one is required to perform Kiddush or Habdalah or physical circumcision, Romans 2. We do not condemn such traditions, either. They are a matter of personal choice.

The Scriptures say, "He who calls upon My name shall be saved, Is. ."

"My people shall know My name, Is.52: 6."

"My people shall say, Yahweh is My Elohim, Zech.13:9."

"They walk up and down in His name, Zech 10: 12"

They do not and cannot deny His name, Rev.3: 8; Rev. 2:13.

Yahshua shall put His Father's name on our foreheads, Rev. 14:1; 22: 4. We guest some will say no. Ever wonder what will the two witnesses mark on our foreheads?

The prayers of those who call on His sacred name are answered, "They will call on my name and I will answer them, Zech. 13: 9."

Let's say I am on my way to the gallows. I cannot call out the name of a general, a friend of my father, whom I recognize in the crowd to save me from the tugs, unless I know his name.

It is very amazing, indeed, to see that some Messianic Judaist leaders purport to have the authority to compel people from acknowledging Yahweh's name and threaten them with excommunication. In their mental blindness they do not hesitate to replace the Hebrew name of Elohim by pagans titles such as Lord and God. What is more disrespectful? Whether they write the following words L-rd and G-d, what is the difference? Unfortunately there are plenty of gullible people who believe them. They call Yahshua Jesus, from the Latin Iesus, which is from the Greek Iesous. See our article: YHWH/Yahshua. It is with good reason Yahweh says, "Because you despise the Truth, I will allow you to trust in oppression and perversity," Isaiah 30: 12.

Note that we do not condemn those who say Yehshua, as a result of having been taught to remain faithful to the Greek terminology, although there is no Yeweh from which Yeshua could derive. We consider them to be slightly off the mark. We cannot throw them away for that sole reason, for anybody can learn to unlearn errors. What the protagonists purport has been for centuries among the Gentiles is an honest mistake on the part of some, but, often, a deliberate error on the part of perfidious minds. We do have trouble understanding the mediocrity of insisting that people say only Yeshua, eliminating the prefix Yah because of the simple truth that Yah is part of the true name. Wow!!

Thank Yahweh for "removing of the Baals (Lord) from our mouths, so that we will not mentioned them no more", that we should no longer call you Baali (my Lord), as our people did when they went after Baal.

In Greek Yeh is hail, and the sus is Zoo or Zeus. Thus Yehsus, Yesus, Iesus, Jesus, is Hail Zeus (YehZeus=IeZeus).

Thank you Yahweh!
