Belief Statement
There is only one eternal Yahuah: the Yahuah `Elohiym of Avraham, Yitz’chak and Ya’akov, theSet Apart One of Yisra’el (Exod. 3:6; Isa 10:20).
Yahuah is in three co-existent, eternal Forms: Yahuah Father (as Creator and King of the Universe), Son (as Messiah Yahusha our Saviour) and Spirit (HaRuach as our perfect Teacher).
Eternal life with Yahuah is only possible by the trusting faith in the Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection and Exaltation of the Messiah Yahshuah as prophesied in the Bible (John 3:16).
Primacy is given to the revealed covenant Name of Yahuah and Word hence Yahuah and all Scripture references are highlighted in bold font.
There is only one Covenant (Lev. 26:12) between Yahuah and Man as explained in the Bible and ratified by the Virgin Birth, the Life, the Death and Resurrection of the Messiah Yahusha who is now seated at the right hand of the Father.
The Bible is Yahuah’s inspired word written down by man and is His self-revelation and was made flesh in the Messiah Yahshuah. It is without error and contradiction in the original manuscripts (John 1:14). Any apparent contradiction must be due to human fallibility or error, intentional or deliberate. All Scripture must be interpreted literally except where the context specifically indicates otherwise.
All that has been, is or will be in existence stems from the Act of Creation that Yahuah `Elohiym spoke into being as recorded in the Bible. Man alone was formed and not created and all of Creation is subject to Yahuah’s will and not developed by evolution.
All of Creation requires redemption due to the disobedience of Adam in Gan Eden known as the Fall. Mankind is not born with a sinful nature, but due to the Fall all but Yahusha the Son have succumbed to the temptation to sin and thus in need of a Saviour.
Hebrew was the language of Creation and the single language until the division of the nations at Bavel and will once again be the single language in eternity. The Name of the Yahuah Father and of the Son must not be transliterated or Hellenised.
Only the Yahuah -given, Bible-based feasts/holidays must be observed. All other assimilated pagan feasts, names and terminology must be avoided. Thus God, G-d, Lord, LORD, Jesus, Christ are only used in quotations from other sources. From eternity past to Maryam’s conception, the Messiah is used of the Saviour. Between conception to His resurrection the Master is used to name the saviour (Matt. 26:18). From His resurrection onwards,the Messiah is again used.

All Yahuah’s commandments are active but are relevant to person, time and place and all point to the Messiah Yahusha in whom, by faith alone, is salvation found. This salvation is by Grace, the freely given gift from Yahuah through His Ruach. All Believers are called to obey all the relevant commandments in order to please Yahuah Father and emulate the Master: Believers obey the commandments because they have eternal salvation and not in order to earn eternal salvation.
The Good News of salvation through the Messiah Yahshuah is inclusive for all people and no-one is excluded. The Good News is all-sufficient in that it alone by the HaRuach convicts Man of sin bringing about true repentance and salvation through the Messiah. Anything else denigrates the Power of HaRuach and Work of the Messiah. Therefore, the Good News alone is to be preached and no attack is to be made against other belief systems, faiths, religions, denominations, ideologies or against individuals for their beliefs for Yahuah loves all people (John 3:16). We do not battle against the people but against the demonic forces behind the ideologies (Eph. 6:12). All Believers (including myself) do not know our own Scriptures sufficiently let alone argue from other peoples’ writings (2 Tim. 2:15, 16). The Master did not ridicule or was angry with a person for their sincerely held beliefs as this pushed away people. He always drew them closer to Himself by explaining that the Kingdom of Yahuah was at hand.
The single act of salvation is the start of eternal life followed by full water immersion baptism and subsequent on-going sanctification by the leading of HaRuach of Yahuah. All Believers are called to study Scripture irrespective of their personal ability as HaRuach reveals all that is required for a person to be able to serve Yahuah (2 Tim. 2:15).
There is a literal Heaven, the eternal dwelling-place of shalom for all who by faith believe and accept the salvation of Yahuah through His Son, the Messiah Yahshuah and accept Him as their personal Master and Redeemer; there is a literal Hell, the eternal dwelling-place of punishment for all who have rejected Yahuah’s salvation.
All Yahuah’s promises are available today but are all conditional.
HaRuach of Yahuah and all His Gifts are available today but are conditional. All Believers are called to evangelise but not all called to be evangelists; all called to prophesise but not all called to be prophets; all called to teach but not all called to be teachers.
The return of the Messiah in the clouds for His people is imminent (1Thess. 4:17) and He will call up His Bride to the Marriage Feast of the Lamb (Rev. 19:7). The Messiah will return to step foot on earth and reclaim His Kingdom (Rev. 19:11-16) that will usher in the literal one thousand year reign (Rev. 20:6) after which there will be an eternal new heaven and new earth (Rev. 21:1).
