ABOUT US
GOD
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three equally divine Persons and hold different functions: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This one true God is infinitely perfect in both His love and holiness. He is the immortal and eternal Creator of all things, both visible and invisible. He sovereignly rules over all things, and is providentially at work redeeming and restoring His fallen creation. He is worthy to receive all glory and adoration.

Scripture
The Torah is the foundational piece of Scripture and is the root of the Prophets, the Writings, the Gospels, and the Epistles in the Greek Scriptures. For this reason, the Bible can't contradict itself because it is continuous.
God has graciously revealed His existence and power in the created order, and the Person of His Son, the incarnate Word. God is a speaking God who, by His Spirit, has graciously disclosed Himself in human words through Scripture, the sixty-six books of One Testament, which is the Testament given to Abraham, which is a record and means of His saving work in the world to bring about the Seed of Promise.
These writings alone are the verbally inspired Word of God, which is authoritative and without error in the original writings and never contradicts other verses, complete in its revelation of His will for salvation, sufficient for all that God requires us to believe, and final in its authority over every domain of knowledge to which it speaks.
In summary, all of Scripture is God's inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word. We understand Jesus did not come to do away with the Torah, yet to fulfill the Torah, bringing it to obedience as the perfect righteousness of unto the Father. If Jesus changed any part of the Torah, He'd be a sinner and not be qualified as an unblemished lamb to be slain to atone for the sins of the world.
We study the Bible using the Three Rules of Engagement:
-
The Bible Can't Contradict Itself
-
The Bible Interprets the Bible
-

Torah
The Law has the instructions on how to obey the Father by faith and grace in the Son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ came to die for our sins, and sin is lawlessness. The Torah is perfect and is the standard of obedience after salvation which is called the sanctification process.
We understand it is impossible to obey or be sanctified without walking the way Jesus walked. We believe when the Bible says “not under law,” that means for salvation and not sanctification. The term “Law of Moses” doesn’t mean the Law belongs to Moses, yet that the Law was carried out by him for the people who came into covenant with the Father who saved them from Egypt.
Psalm 19:7; 1 John 2:3-6; John 14:15; John 14:21; Revelation 14:12; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 22:14; Romans 3:31; Acts 15:5; Acts 15:20; Romans 2:18; Romans 7:12; Psalm 119:1-176
Epistles of Paul
We believe that Paul is the most difficult author to understand in the Bible and the Holy Spirit warned us to be careful to not misunderstand his letters or we will get all of Scripture incorrect. Paul has been accused of teaching an antinomian doctrine creating lawlessness, yet this would contradict so many other verses of him claiming to establish the Torah.
For this reason, we are careful not use his letters to promote lawlessness. The entire Book of Galatians is the most misunderstood book in the Bible yet we must understand that Paul never contradicts the Torah, of which he has zeal. Galatians is about salvation and that is why the law is not applicable for salvation. The Torah was never meant to be saved, yet more to create a “schoolmaster” that points us to Christ.
Acts 24:13-14; Romans 3:31; Philippians 3:1-12; Galatians 3:10-12; Romans 10:4 (“end” means “telos” which means to point one to Christ); Romans 6:1-2
Lawlessness is Sin
Jesus rebukes the lawless in Scripture and the antichrist is lawless. We don’t teach against the law as the method of sanctification, making it applicable for the laws which apply to each believer.
613 laws don’t all apply because some are for the Temple and there is no Temple, some are for women, some are for men, some are for landowners, some are for business owners, some are for parents, and so on.
The laws that apply are the ones we must follow by faith and grace through Jesus Christ as a working faith that creates the regeneration of the Spirit. We believe the only way to be sanctified is by living out the Commandments of God, as the entirety of the law belongs to God.
We believe the difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant is how it is ministered, and this doesn't mean the law is "old" and needs to be fixed. What was changed is that before, it was a Levitical Priest, and now it is done by Jesus Christ, the last sacrifice and the High Priest.
We believe the Feasts are from the Father (Leviticus 23:2) and must still be observed as they will be during the Millennial reign of Christ (Zechariah 14:16-19).
Matthew 7:23; Matthew 13:41; Matthew 23:28; Matthew 24:12; Romans 6:19; 2 Corinthians 6:14; 2 Thessalonians 2:7; Hebrew 1:9; 1 John 3:4; Romans 4:7; 2 Thessalonians 2:8-
Covenant, Israel, and the Church
We believe in the new covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 36:26), which applies to the House of Israel and the House of Judah. Romans 11:13-24 confirms that Israel and the church are one, and we remain grafted in by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who is also GOD.
Baptism of the Holy Spirit is evidenced by willingly obeying the Commandments of GOD. We do not ascribe to the traditions of man and worldly holidays not founded in Scripture.
Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:23; Colossians 1:15; Matthew 15:6-9; Mark 7:8-9
As we were once Gentiles and now part of the commonwealth of Israel and the covenant of promise (Ephesians 2:11-12), we adapt by living the Commandments found in the Torah and throughout Scripture, under the Grace of Jesus Christ, and with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, to please our Heavenly Father (1 John 2:3).
We are to spiritually identify with Israel through Jesus Christ once we receive salvation by faith and grace to live a life of obedience, which confirms James 2: works without faith is dead.
We believe The Law of YAHWEH is the standard throughout the Bible, and the Law and the Prophets will be fulfilled in Christ Jesus’ return for the church, His bride.
1 Corinthians 15:20-27
Resurrection and Triune Nature of God
We believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, the Father and Jesus Himself, who are all GOD. Scripture doesn’t say the word “Trinity” yet GOD has a Triune nature.
Romans 8:11; Galatians 1:1; 1 Peter 3:18; Acts 2:24; Romans 6:4
