OUR BELIEFS
The Holy Bible
The Bible is the Most High’s Word to everyone. It is a compilation of sacred texts and scriptures written by human authors through Divine inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit. We use the Holy Bible as final authority in determining all doctrinal truths.
2 Timothy 3:16 · 2 Peter 1:20 · 2 Peter 21:2 · 2 Timothy 1:13 · Psalm 119:105 · Proverbs 30:5
The Trinity
There is one God, eternally existent in three entities: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.
Genesis 1:1 · Genesis 3:22 · Psalm 90:2 · Matthew 28:19 · 1 Peter 1:2 · 2 Corinthians 13:14 · Deut. 6:4 · John 14:10
The Father
God is great and we call him Yahweh. The Most High is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, Holy. It is in Him that we live, move and exist. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.
Exodus 3:14 · Numbers 23:19 · Leviticus 11:44-45 · Psalm 11:4-6 · Malachi 3:6 · John 3:16 · Acts 17:28 · Romans 3:3-4
The Son
Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity. He is completely human but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life, so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God’s demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection to save us from sin and so that we can have life.
Isaiah 9:6 · Matthew 1:18-23 · Luke 22:70 · John 1:1 · Romans 1:3-4 · 1 Timothy 3:16 · Philippians 2:5-6 · Colossians 1:15 · 1 Timothy 2:5
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Holy Father and the Son of God. The Holy Spirit’s presence, in the lives of Christians, assures us of our relationship with Christ. The Holy Spirit guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. The Holy Spirit convicts people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. The Holy Spirit comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and transforms us to be more like Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:17 · John 16:7-13 · Acts 1:8 · 1 Corinthians 2:12 · Ephesians 1:13 · Galatians 5:25
Eternity
We were created to exist forever. We will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
Matthew 5:3 · Mark 9:43-48 · John 3:16 · Romans 6:23 · 2 Corinthians 5:1 · Hebrews 9:27 · 1 John 2:25 · Revelation 20:12-15
Salvation
We are saved by grace through faith in Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is God’s gift to us, if we accept it. It is not a result of our good works, self-improvement, or of any human efforts. It is only by trusting in Yeshua as God’s offer of forgiveness that we can be saved from sin’s penalty.
Isaiah 1:18; 53:5-6; 55:7 · Matthew 1:21; 27:22-66; 28:1-6 · Luke 1:68-69; 2:28-32 · John 14:6; John 1:12 · Acts 16:31 · Romans 5:1; 10:9-10 · Galatians 2:16, 3:8 · Ephesians 2:8-9 · Titus 3:5; Hebrews 9:22 · Revelation 3:20
The Church
The church is not a fancy building, it is the Body of Christ – a local community of baptized believers, unified through faith in Yeshua. The church is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands. The church also seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying the Most High.
Matthew 16:18-19; 18:15-20 · John 17:11, 20-23 · Acts 2:41-47; 5:11-14; 13:1-3; 14:23; 16:5; 20:28 · 1 Corinthians 7:17; 9:13-14; 12 · Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; 3:10-12; 5:22-32 · Hebrews 12:23
