This describes the Biblical stance of the FIRST GENERATION ASSEMBLY.
Belief Statement
There is only one eternal : the `Elohiym of Avraham, Yitzachak and Yaakov, the Set Apart One of Yisra`el (Exod. 3:6; Isa 10:20).
He is in three co-existent, eternal Forms: Father (as Creator and King of the Universe), Son (as Messiah Yahusha our Saviour) and Spirit (as our perfect Teacher).
Eternal life with is only possible by the trusting faith in the Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection and Exaltation of Messiah Yahshua as prophesied in the Bible (John 3:16).
Primacy is given to the revealed covenant Name of and Word hence and all Scripture references are highlighted in bold font.
There is only one Covenant (Lev. 26:12) between and Man as explained in the Bible and ratified by the Virgin Birth, the Life, the Death and Resurrection of Messiah Yahusha who is now seated at the right hand of the Father.
The Bible is inspired word written down by man and is His self-revelation and was made flesh in Messiah Yahusha. It is without error and contradiction in the original manuscripts (John 1:14). Any apparent contradiction must be due to human fallibility or error. 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 `Elohiym spoke into being as recorded in the Bible. Man alone was formed and not created and all of Creation is subject to 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 Father and of the Son must not be transliterated or Hellenised. After almost 30 years of studying Scripture and of the intensive research by my son, Jon, I have come to the conclusion that the name of Father is Yahuah and of the Son is Yahusha (thewayofourfathers.com; promotethetruth.com)
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, Adonai, Hashem, Lord, LORD, Yehovah, Jesus, Christ are only used in quotations from other sources. From eternity past to Maryam conception, 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, Messiah is again used.
All commandments are active but are relevant to person, time and place and all point to Messiah Yahusha in whom, by faith alone, is salvation found. This salvation is by Grace, the freely given gift from through His Spirit. All Believers are called to obey all the relevant commandments in order to please Father; Believers obey the commandments because they have eternal salvation and not in order to earn eternal salvation.
The Good News of Father‘s salvation through Messiah Yahusha is inclusive for all people and no-one is excluded. The Good News is all-sufficient in that it alone by the Spirit convicts Man of sin bringing about true repentance and salvation through Messiah. Anything else denigrates the Power of the Spirit and Work of 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). All Believers (including myself) do not know our own Scriptures let alone argue from other peoplesa 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 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 the Spirit of . All Believers are called to study Scripture irrespective of their personal ability as the Spirit reveals all that is required for a person to be able to serve (2 Tim. 2:15).
There is a literal Heaven, the eternal dwelling-place of shalom for all who by faith believe and accept Father’s salvation in Messiah Yahusha and He as their personal Master and Saviour; there is a literal Hell, the eternal dwelling-place of punishment for all who have rejected Messiah Yahusha as their Master and Saviour.
All promises are available today but are all conditional.
The Spirit of 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 Messiah for His people is imminent (Rev. 22:20).
