We Believe YHWH (Yahweh), Elohim, Jehovah, is the One True God of Israel, who Created the World, and Existence as we know it. We believe Jesus Christ is God, and has came in the flesh to earth as a Man in Human form; being fully God and fully Man. (1 John 4:2)
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, being the incarnate God, Pre-existent with God the Father in Heaven, from the Beginning of Creat
ion; that making Jesus also, the creator of Existence as we know it. (John 1:1-3,14)
We believe Jesus is the God of the Old Testament; the Light of the World in Genesis 1:3, and appears as the Angel of the Lord, and spoke unto the Prophets. We Believe God is one and triune in nature beyond human comprehension; being the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost.(1 John 5:7)
We believe salvation is by grace through repentance & faith in Jesus's blood atonement, death burial and resurrection. We are Gentile Converts, added to the Church by faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ according to Apostle Paul. We believe we were added to the Church by the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5, 1 Corinthians 12:13), from when the Church began in Acts 2:47. The Gentiles that had apostolic abilities in scripture, only did so to confirm that God would pour out his spirit on all flesh (Acts 2:17 Acts 10:46-48) and as a sign to unbelieving Jews (Mark 16:14-20, 1 Corinthians 1:22, 1 Corinthians 14:22, 2 Corinthians 5:7). We Believe specifically that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, was specifically to fulfil the prophecy of the Great Commission (Mark 16:20), while the Lord was working with the Apostles. Only the 12 Apostles of Scripture and those under their supervision had miraculous authority (Acts 1:22). There are no longer any Apostles, or prophets or new revelation from God; whereas there are no offices prescribed for those positions in scripture after God 'gave' them (past tense) till we came into the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God (Ephesians 4:11-13) - only Elder and Deacon are positions available today (1 Timothy 3:1, 1 Timothy 3:8)
Apostle Paul was the last of the Apostles (1 Corinthians 15:8), after Apostle John died none came after Paul, and we are now saved by Grace through Faith, Without works of the Law of Moses (Ephesians 2:8-9). Though we are saved by grace through Faith in Christ, we were commanded to obey Jesus's commandment's of new New Testament conduct and obedience (Romans 6:15-18, James 2:20-26). Obedience & producing fruit is not works of the law, It's rather the 'evidence' of saving faith (Ephesians 2:10, James 2:26, John 15:4-6, Matthew 7:17-20, John 14:15)
Disobedience, Heresy or Unrepentant Sin, from a professing Christian, could evidence that the professing believer has not been sincerely repentant (1 Corinthians 7:10, 1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:4), not been regenerated/ Born again of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:3-6) or not been called out by God to be saved, and therefore have sought Babylonian false religion (another Christ)
We Believe not everyone has been called to 'hear' /understand the Gospel. Jesus specifically said only a remnant would be saved (John 11:51-52, Romans 8:28-30, Romans 9:27, Romans 10:17, John 15:16, John 1:12-14 John 6:44, John 6:65, ) And Those who will not be saved, is because God has not willed it (Matthew 13:13, Luke 8:10, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Romans 1:21-22, 1 Corinthians 1:18-21, James 2:19)
We believe in the Endurance of the Saints, meaning we as believers should and must hold fast to our profession to 'remain' saved; Apostle Paul said we are saved as long as we keep in memory what he preached(remain), unless your belief was in vain (1 Corinthians 15:2) Being confident that the Holy Spirit which began a good work us will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ; as far as we ourselves remain faithful to him. In the present Church age we are justified by the blood atonement of Jesus Christ; it is a free gift of salvation. A believer can either chose to preserve this free gift by remaining in faith, and honouring the Holy spirit, doing the will of the Father as a living sacrifice (John 7:21, Romans 12:1, Matthew 16:24, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:62, Luke 14:26, 1 John 2:1, 1 John 2:15) or we can choose to abandon that gift by not following Christ for whichever reason [deception, worldly pleasures, rebellion, flesh etc] (1 Thessalonians 5:19, 1 Timothy 4:1, Luke 13:3, 2 Peter 3:9, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Galatians 5:19-21, Hebrews 10:29-30, 2 Peter 2:20-22, Hebrews 10:26, Hebrews 6:4-6, 1 Corinthians 3:12-15, Revelation 3:15-16,Revelation 14:11)
We thoroughly believe in Endurance of the Saints (Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13, Hebrews 10:23, 1 Timothy 6:12, Jude 1:3, 1 Timothy 4:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22, Titus 1:9, James 4:7, James 1:12, 1 Peter 1:5, Revelation 3:5, Revelation 3:21)
We Are to shine our light, and produce fruit, and make full proof of the ministry. Doing so we should walk as Christ walked (1 John 2:5-6, Galatians 5:22-26, 1 Corinthians 13, Luke 10:27, Matthew 5:43-44)
We do not love this world, it's a temporary experience, solely a test of faith; and is too short lived to be concerned about things that don't matter at all, so we ought to be different and live differently from the majority (Matthew 5:16, Matthew 5:14, Romans 12:2, 1 John 2:17, 1 John 2:15, 1 Timothy 6:10, 2 Corinthians 6:14, 1 Corinthians 10:20-21)
We are set in defence of the Gospel, so we should share the Gospel message meekly, not as the Apostles did, but effective evangelism that will persuade the lost sheep of Israel, and the Gentiles as ourselves, who were scattered abroad; to return to our Messiah, Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 2:24-26, 1 Philippians 1:15-17, Luke 14:23, 2 Timothy 4:1-5)
We do NOT practice the Mikveh (Water Baptism), it is not instructed anywhere in the New Testament Church. The Ethiopian Eu**ch asked to be water baptized in Acts 8, after confessing his belief being baptized by the Holy Ghost. Phillip agreed with his request, water baptized him, and was taken away by the spirit of the Lord immediately after doing so. Water Baptism was a Jewish Ceremonial washing for remission of sins prior to Christ's first coming under the Old Covenant; but we are Gentiles under Grace, added to the Church by faith, and Christ's blood shed is now our remission of sins in the New Testament according to Matthew 26:28 and Acts 10:43. The Baptism that actually brings us into the Church / Body of Christ, is the Holy Spirit Baptism. (1 Corinthians 12:13, John 3:3-7, Ezekiel 36:26, John 7:39, Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 1:5, Acts 10:43-44, Acts 11:16-18, Acts 16:31-33)
This is what we receive by 'Believing' on Jesus Christ. Repent, Believe and Abide in Christ. To God be the Glory, in Jesus Name.
