Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem May they Prosper that loveth thee Psalm 122:6

Isa 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jer 31:33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Yisra'el after those days, says the LORD: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:

Isa 56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

Isa 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people.

Eph 2:19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,

Eph 3:6 that is, that the nations are co-inheritors and members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Messiah Yeshua through the good news,

Luk 16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah to become void.

Pro 28:9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

Pro 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Our Statement of Faith

· We believe in one God, the Creator of heaven and earth, who Himself is uncreated and eternally existent. Though He is one God, He is triune in nature (Isaiah 48:16-17), expressed as Father, Son Jesus (Yeshua) and Holy Spirit (Ruach ha Kodesh) Matthew 28:19. This 3 in 1 unity is beyond human understanding to fully explain.

We believe that the BIBLE, the Holy Scriptures, consisting of the TanaKh (Hebrew scriptures/Old Testament: torah, prophets & writings) and the later writings commonly known as the B'rit Hadasha (New Covenant/testament), is the only infallible and authoritative word of God. We recognize the bible’s divine inspiration, and accept its teachings as our final authority in all matters of faith and practice (Deut. 6:4-9; Prov. 3:1-6; Ps. 119:89, 105; Isa. 48:12-16; Rom. 8:14-17; II Tim. 2:15, 3:16-17).
We believe that salvation is a free gift of God available through acknowledging Yeshua the Messiah as Lord (Romans 10:9) through Biblical repentance and confession of sin (Luke 5:32; Acts 5:31; Romans 2:4; 10:10; 2 Corinthians 7:9-10; 2 Timothy 2:25; 2 Peter 3:9) which results in a person being born again (John 3:3, 7; 1 Peter 1:3, 23) or spiritually regenerated by an indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Salvation does not come by works or obeying commandments (Matthew 5:20; John 1:17; Romans 2:12-13, 25; 3:20, 27; 4:14; 8:3; 10:5; Galatians 2:16, 21; 3:2, 11, 21; 5:4; 6:13; Philippians 3:9) but if one is of the faith, then he will have “works” (James 2:14-16).
We believe in the deity of Yeshua HaMashiach (John 1:1-18), and his virgin birth (Is. 9:6; Is 7:14; Matt. 1:18-25), in his sinless life (Is. 53; 2 Cor. 5:21; Lk. 1:35), in his miracles (Matt. 4:23-25), in his vicarious and atoning death through his shed blood (Is 53; Dan. 9:24-27; Rom. 3:21-31; Heb. 9&10), in his bodily resurrection (Zech. 12:10 & ch. 14; Matt. 28), in his ascension to the right hand of the Father (Ps. 16:10 & ch. 110; Acts 1:1-11; Heb. 1:1-3), and in his personal and physical return in power and glory (Dan. 7:9-14; Matt. 26:57-64; Rev. 1:1-18).

OUR belief

We believe in God's everlasting covenant with Israel, and that there is an irrevocable calling in relation to Jewish people being a distinct and recognizable people in the earth. Gentiles who place their faith in Yeshua, are "grafted into" the Jewish olive tree of faith (Rom. 11:17-25) becoming spiritual sons and daughters of Abraham (Gal. 3:28-29) thereby making them fellow citizens and full-participants with the Commonwealth of Isra'el (Eph. 2), thus granting them the divine privilege of following the whole of the Torah.
We believe in the spiritual unity of all followers of Yeshua, Jew and Gentile, as Messiah has broken down the middle wall of partition, making us one in Him. In the context of this unity, there are many diverse and valid cultural distinctions and identities within the Body of Messiah. (We acknowledge that the New Covenant body of believers is composed of both Jews and Gentiles who have received Yeshua the Messiah as the Promised Redeemer. The "middle wall of partition" has been broken down and now we worship the God of Israel together (I Cor. 12:13; Eph. 2:13-14).
We believe that HaShem has written this very same Torah upon every heart (Jew and Gentile) of those who have placed their trusting faithfulness in Yeshua (Jer. 31:31-34; Heb. 8:7-12).
We believe that this same Torah is a foundational revelation of the righteousness of HaShem and serves as a description (along with the rest of the Scriptures) of the lifestyle of the Redeemed Community (James 1:16-27).

· We believe in worshipping Yahweh with the lifting of our hands, with the tambourine, in dance, in praise and with stringed instruments (Psa 150:4, Psa 47:1, Psa 28:2, Psa 63:4, Psa 119:48).

We believe that through His sacrifice, Messiah has filled the Torah with His Spirit (Matthew 5:17-20), not annulled it, and has given it greater understanding.We do not believe that observance of the Torah is mandatory for salvation (Matthew 5:20; John 1:17; Romans 2:12-13, 25; 3:20, 27; 4:14; 8:3; 10:5; Galatians 2:21, 16; 3:2, 11, 21; 5:4; 6:13; Philippians 3:9), but rather that it is the Torah which has defined sin for mankind (Romans 3:31; 5:13; 6:15; 7:7-9, 12; 8:2; 10:4; Galatians 3:24; Hebrews 7:19; 10:28; James 2:9). By further studying it we can further understand what Messiah died for and therefore we can better our spiritual walk. After salvation, by obedience we would want to then desire to not break our Father’s commandments (Psalms 1:2; 40:8; 119:92, 174; Romans 7:12; 1 Timothy 1:8).

· We believe that the true saints of God are the ones who have trusting faithfullness in Jesus(Yeshua) and those who keep His commandments as an end-time witness. We do not keep Torah to be Saved! We keep Torah because we are Saved. . Rev. 14:12.
