Faith Statement
are for all
these ministries the same!
Basic doctrines of faith are based on the Word of G-d. They are essential for every Christian to know and believe without compromise! Salvation is only through faith in Yeshua, the Messiah (Jesus Christ), not through works, rituals, water baptism, communion or all kind of traditional efforts. (2 Timothy 3:15, 16, 17)
Denominations may differentiate themselves through different levels of belief and different denominational visions, which we will respect and tolerate. Denominational distinctions are tolerable to the extent that they are based on Scriptural/Biblical principles, not blemishing the Word of G-d, or taking the Word out of context. We strive to avoid distortions for selfish motivations, or to manipulate people the Word of G-d.
Millions trust themselves, some religion, a denomination, secret order, lodge, or program and despise all others who do not have the same faith or belong to the order!? A weak thing to rely upon! Thus they were growing in law, in organizations, putting in man-made "frameworks" etc. …but not in grace!? (Mark 10:24; Philippians 3:4; 1 Timothy 6:17)
Basically, the Gospel is a Gospel of love. It expresses the very nature and being of G-d as holiness and love. If we know Yeshua or Jesus, and become like Him, we also become like the character of G-d. So by one's fruits* people will recognize from which tree one comes! (Matthew 12:30); He that is not with Me is against Me; and He that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad.. (See also the fruits & characteristics* of the true people of G-d by in the description of the Person of the Holy Spirit {Roach HaKodesh}. This means that there is not neutral ground; one is either for G-d or against G-d! You can only serve one master! The one you love, the other you hate! There is no compromise possible!
...A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them! (Matthew 7:18, 19, 20)
We believe that the Scripture is the inspired Word of G-d {YHVH}, the complete revelation of G-d's will for mankind, for all generations. We commit ourselves to Yeshua, the Messiah (the Lord Jesus Christ), and the Word of G-d through our practice of the spiritual disciplines, such as prayer, praise, worship, confession, fasting, meditation, diligent seeking His Face or presence, and intense study of the Word of G-d. We commit ourselves to live in a way that inspires trust and confidence, exhibiting the fruits & characteristics of the Holy Spirit, and endeavoring to manifest the Nobel and Divine character of Yeshua, the Messiah, our only Master; the Lord Jesus Christ!
We strive in all of our behavior to demonstrate a Christian lifestyle, acceptance, compassion, love, and forgiveness toward others, both the believers and the non-believers. It will include integrity of your personal life! (John 13:34, 35; Galatians 5:22-26) Any interpretation which is out of harmony with what is plainly written must be rejected as the theory of mankind. The Scriptures are in plain language, understandable by anyone who can read (or hear) and will take time to do it.
The water-baptism
People that have made a profession of faith, accepting the Messiah Yeshua, or the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and that have shown a consistent Christian life and come regularly the services and are in harmony with the teachings of the Word of God, and making a profession of faith first, are to be baptized in water by immersion. The Father {YHVH}, Son {Yeshua; Messiah}, and the Holy Spirit {Roach HaKodesh} are linked together as one in the baptismal command of Yeshua/the L-rd Jesus. (Matthew 28:19) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer on a good conscience toward G-d) by the resurrection of Yeshua/Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 3:21)
Some people still trust that water baptism, itself, saves the soul, but it is very clear the baptism does not save one from the filth or moral depravity of the flesh! Only the answer of a good and clear conscience toward G-d, one that has been made clean by faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua/Jesus Christ. At the baptism itself, the person's conscience is already supposed to be converted, repented, good and clean. The baptism itself merely answers to it as the like figure of it. Because it is a demonstration of what the person's believes. See also verse (Romans 6:4)
Conscience: joint knowledge of G-d and man; knowledge of our acts, state, or character as to right and wrong; the faculty, power, or principle which decides the lawfulness of our actions and affections, and approves or condemns them; the moral faculty or sense; consciousness of actions; the eye, judge, and guide of the inner man.
G-d's purpose now, since man knew good and evil, was to guide him in the proper exercise of his conscience to do the right and refuse the wrong; to teach fallen man that only by obedience to G-d could he be restored to his original dominion and get rid of the curse; and to test man under freedom of conscience without restraint or compulsion to see if he would voluntarily choose right from wrong and serve G-d instead of satan!
G-d {YHVH} wanted man to know He was the only true friend and helper, and that only through Him was there a way out of sin and the curse, and an opportunity for restoration to original dominion also in the affairs of the Universe!
It wasn't the floodwater in Noah's days that saved Noah and his family! It was the ark that saved them from drowning in the flood! The flood was the medium of judgment, not the means of deliverance! Also G-d is a G-d of love and compassion, and so we receive grace from Him, through Messiah Yeshua or Jesus Christ, not because of what we are, or what we did. It is His grace and love!

Mikvah - An ancient Jewish tradition
Mikvah is an ancient Jewish tradition to prepare themselves before going into the Temple!! Baptism is generally a purification ritual using water practiced in many of various religions including Christianity, Mandaeanism, and Sikhism. Christian baptism has its origins with the Jewish ritual of “Mikvah”. To some groups, baptism is a symbolic term meaning "identification with" (e.g. Jesus / Yeshua) having no connection with earthly ritual.
Although the term baptism is not used to describe the Jewish rituals, the purification rites (or Mikvah - ritual immersion) in Jewish laws and tradition are where the ritual of baptism can find its origins. In the Tanakh, and other Jewish texts, immersion in water for ritual purification was established for specific circumstances – in order to be restored to a condition of 'ritual purity'.
For
example, Jews who become ritually 'defiled' by contact with a corpse (according
to the
Law - Torah
of Moses), had to use the “mikvah” before being allowed to
participate in the Holy Temple. Immersion is required for converts to Judaism as
part of their conversion. Through practices such as these, immersion in the
mikvah represents purification and restoration, and qualification for full
religious participation in the life of the community.
The Holy Spirit – Baptism with Fire!
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptized with the Holy Spirit.( John 1:33) Christ is the One Who baptizes in the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11; Luke 3:16; Luke 24:49; John 1:33; John 7:37-39; John 15:16-17,26; John 15:26; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 11:16).
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire: (Matthew 3:11)
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:2-4)
Mikvah is an ancient Jewish tradition to prepare themselves before going into the Temple!
Fire: zeal and refining power (Luke 3:16; Isaiah 4:3-4; Psalm 104:4; Malachi 3:1-4; John 2:17; Acts 2:3; Matthew 3:11) (See more at site: "Fire Figuratively ")
The Holy Spirit filled the house and moved upon the 120 {selected} flowing out of their innermost beings like “Rivers of Living water” (John 7:37-39) and "pour out" (Acts 2:17) which literally means to gush out, to spill out freely, or pour out abundantly like mighty Niagara’s of Living water and power from on High (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8). It was like a "rushing mighty wind" or the blast of a clap of thunder sweeping before it (1 Kings 19:11-12). Along with this mighty thunder or blast came visible forked tongues like Fire sitting upon each of the 120 disciples! (See more at site: "Person of the Holy Spirit")
One Integrated Design...
The New Testament {New Covenant} is in the Old Testament
{Old Covenant} concealed; The Old Testament is in the New Testament
revealed. The Bible consists of 66 separate books written by over 40
{Jewish} authors over a period of several thousand years that are an
integrated message system. It can be demonstrated that the origin of this
message is from outside of our dimensions of space and time!
The Book of Revelation has
404 verses in
22 chapters.
Fifty-four verses are history and 350 verses are prophecy. Ten of these
350 verses have been
fulfilled, but the rest remain to be fulfilled.
Our
Challenge...
We are being plunged into a period of time about which
the Bible {Scripture}
says more than about any other period in history…including the time when
Yeshua walked the shores of Galilee and
climbed the mountains of Judea.
The Ultimate
Issue
• We are in possession of message of extraterrestrial
origin.
We believe in the imminent rapture of the church
before the great tribulation,
...and
Yeshua/Christ's personal return to establish His Kingdom on earth at
the conclusion of the great tribulation.
Two distinct comings
are separated by
7 years,
Rapture: imminent; no precedent condition.
Second Coming:
list of
prerequisite events.
The Apostle Paul speaks of the Rapture as a "mystery"
(1 Corinthians 15:51-54), that is, a truth not revealed until its disclosure by the apostles
(Colossians 1:26). The Second Coming, on the other hand, was predicted by the ancient prophets in the Old Testament Scriptures
(Daniel 12:1-3; Zechariah 12:10; 14:4). In fact, the oldest prophecy uttered by a prophet was given before the flood of Noah and was of the Second Coming! It was given by
Enoch, quoted in
Jude 14-15.
For all the
righteous uncompromising
Saints and Elect of G-d are gathered,
prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of
our sins
Signs that represent that Jesus
Christ (Yeshua Messiah) will return to the earth point to the
revelation of Christ known as the
second coming, and not the rapture of the
Church. The rapture will precede the second coming
seven years earlier. In the rapture, Yeshua
or Jesus will appear suddenly in the air and
remove the Church from the earth (1
Thessalonians 4:13,18). This will happen in the twinkling
of an eye (1 Corinthians 15:52).
The second coming will be an event that results
in Christ coming to the earth visibly with His
Bride, the Church (His Righteous Saints).
But
the souls of the
(uncompromisingly) righteousness
are in the hand
of G-D and no
torment shall
touch them. They
seemed, in the
view of the
foolish to be
dead; and their
passing away was
thought an
affliction, and
their going
forth from us,
utter
destruction. But
they are in
peace. For if
before men,
indeed, they are
been punished,
yet is their
hope full of
immortality;
Chastised a
little, they
shall be greatly
blessed, because
G-D tried them
and found them
worthy of
Himself. As
gold in the furnace, he proved them, and as sacrificial offerings He took
them for
Himself. In the
time of their
visitation they
shall shine, and
dart about as
sparks through
stubble; they
shall judge
nations and rule
over peoples,
and the Lord
shall be their
King forever.
Those who trust
in Him shall
understand truth
and the faithful
shall abide with
Him in love.
Because grace
and mercy are
with His Holy
ones and care is
with His
elect.
