Statement of Faith

We believe in one eternal and unchanging God, whose name is YHVH (יהוה), pronounced Yehovah (Deuteronomy 6:4). He is the Father of the only begotten Son, Yeshua the Messiah (commonly known as Jesus – John 3:16), and has given us His Holy Spirit to comfort, empower, and lead us in our walk with Him.

We believe the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one—united in essence and purpose—revealed throughout the Scriptures (Genesis 1:1–4; Isaiah 11:1–5; John 1:1–14; John 10:30; 17:11; 1 John 5:7). While this unity is commonly referred to as the “Trinity,” we do not hold to the Catholic or creedal definitions of the term. Rather, we affirm the Scriptural witness of Elohim’s multifaceted nature as echad (one).

We affirm the pronunciation Yehovah based on over 2,000 ancient Hebrew manuscripts, supported by linguistic and historical research (see our 6-part series, The Case for Yehovah, on YouTube). However, we are not “Sacred Namers” and do not believe fellowship should be broken over pronunciation differences.

We believe YHVH sent His only begotten Son, Yeshua, to redeem mankind. He was born of a virgin (Matthew 1:18–20), lived a sinless life (Hebrews 4:15), demonstrated divine authority, died on the cross, rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:4), and ascended to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19; Acts 2:33). He accomplished all that was necessary for our salvation, as recorded in the Gospels and confirmed throughout the New Testament.

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9). It requires repentance and personal belief in the finished work of Yeshua. A person must confess Him as Lord and believe in their heart (Romans 10:9–10). This faith should be followed by full immersion baptism as a public act of obedience (Acts 2:38).

Once saved, the Torah (God’s instructions) are written on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). While the Law cannot save, it defines sin (1 John 3:4) and provides the standard for righteous living. Obedience flows not from legalism but from love and the indwelling Holy Spirit (Romans 8:1–16; 1 John 5:3–4).

We believe that every born-again believer receives the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:14) and that the same Spirit is continuing the work begun at Pentecost (Acts 2). The gifts and power of the Spirit—including healing, prophecy, deliverance, and miracles—are still active today (John 14:12; Mark 16:17–18; Acts 1:8). We reject cessationism as unbiblical and believe that the gifts have not ceased (Romans 11:29).

As followers of Yeshua, we are His Body on earth, called to continue His works: healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons, preaching the Gospel, and advancing the Kingdom (John 14:12; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Mark 16:17–18).

We believe in a literal resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:53–55), eternal life with Yeshua, and a dwelling in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21) for those who are in Him. We also affirm a literal Hell for those who reject Messiah, followed by the Lake of Fire (Matthew 25:46; Revelation 20:14–15) for those who have both taken the Mark and worshiped the Beast..

We believe the true Church is made up of all born-again believers—Jew and Gentile—regardless of denomination. Through Yeshua, Gentiles become fellow heirs with Israel (Ephesians 3:6), grafted into the cultivated olive tree (Romans 11), and adopted into the family of God (Galatians 3:26–29; Romans 8:14–16). We were Gentiles, but through the Spirit of Adoption, we become part of Israel, fulfilling the prophetic promise over Ephraim. This is not Replacement Theology, but Scriptural adoption and grafting-in.

We believe there is one God, one plan, and one Bride. We reject Dispensationalism and the errors it introduces regarding a divided people of God. (Jeremiah 31:31–33; Matthew 15:24; Ephesians 2:11–13; 1 Peter 2:9–10; Hebrews 8:8–12).

We believe every believer is commissioned to proclaim the full Gospel to all nations (Matthew 28:18–20), making disciples and equipping the saints for the days ahead.

We believe the Bible is divinely inspired, infallible in its original manuscripts (2 Timothy 3:16). Though written by men, it was breathed by God. We recommend comparing multiple translations and using the original languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek) to better understand the fullness of Scripture. We caution against translations based on the Alexandrian text, such as those influenced by Westcott and Hort, and recommend prioritizing those based on the Byzantine Text (Textus Receptus). Still, we affirm that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Scripture is understandable and life-giving (1 John 2:27).

We believe Yeshua is returning—soon. We affirm the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13–18), though we discourage division over its timing. While we lean toward a Post-Tribulation / Pre-Wrath view (Matthew 24:29–31) and generqally associate this event to be the Day of Yehovah (Day of the LORD), our focus is on readiness—spiritually, emotionally, and practically. Whether by death or rapture, we must be found faithful, occupying until He returns (Luke 19:13).
