Statement of Our Faith in Jesus Christ

What we hold to be true — grounded in the Word of God and the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross.

Core Statement of Faith

Yeshua in the Seven Feasts of the Lord

We believe God has His own times and seasons, separate from the Gregorian calendar. God has His own calendar of days, weeks, months, and years. God's calendar is lunisolar, unlike the Gregorian calendar, which is solar. We believe that Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus Christ) is revealed in the 7 Feasts of the Lord (4 spring feasts and 3 fall feasts), first introduced to the children of Israel through Moses in Leviticus 23, as a precursor to what would be accomplished in Yeshua.

In His death, burial, and resurrection, Yeshua fulfilled the Feast of Passover as the lamb of God that was slain even before the foundations of the world and has been manifested in our times, 1 Peter 1:17-20, Revelation 13:8. In Yeshua's burial after death, He fulfilled the feast of unleavened bread, and in His own words, He is the bread from heaven, the bread of life. John 6:35, 1 Corinthians 5:7-8. He also fulfilled the feast of first fruits, the firstborn from among the dead, and after that all of us who believe and are born again in the spirit, sealed with the Holy Spirit until He returns, 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, James 1:18, Romans 8:23. He also fulfilled the Feast of Pentecost, the one who baptizes us with the Holy Spirit and fire, Matthew 3:11-12, Acts 2:1-4. He not only started but will fulfill the Feast of Trumpets, at the sound of the final trumpet, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 1 Corinthians 15:50-58. In Christ, the Feast of Atonement is fulfilled. He is not only our covering, by the blood that was shed on the cross, but there is a total remission of sins, 1 John 2:1-2. Lastly, Yeshua is always with us, Emmanuel with us into eternity, hence fulfilling the Feast of Tabernacles, Isaiah 7:14, John 1:14, 7:37-39, Revelation 21:1-8.

Our Faith in Detail

Seven Points of Our Faith

01

One True God & Salvation

We believe in one true and living God — the Heavenly Father, one with the Son (the Word that became flesh), united as one by the Holy Spirit. We are reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who died on the cross, for the propitiation or remission of our sins; His blood washes our sins away, and in Him we have eternal life. Through Him we walk in signs, miracles, wonders, healing, and deliverance, that we may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as our souls prosper.

1 John 2:1–2 · John 16:12–15 · 1 Peter 1:19–21 · 3 John 1:2

02

Jesus as Savior

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God — the Way, the Truth, and the Life — who reconciles us to our Heavenly Father, that whosoever believes in Him may not perish but have everlasting life. We believe that Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life.

John 3:16–18 · 1 Timothy 2:5

03

Christ's Divinity & Victory

We believe that Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God — fully man, sent by God as the Lamb of God slain from before the foundations of the world. Through Him we overcome the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

Colossians 1:14–15 · Revelation 12:10–11

04

Virgin Birth & Resurrection

We believe that Jesus Christ was supernaturally conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He died and was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit, and today He lives forevermore and holds the keys of death and Hades.

Revelation 1:18 · Matthew 16:18–19 · Isaiah 53:4–5

05

Human Sin & Rebirth

We believe that we have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But if we confess with our mouth and believe in our hearts that Jesus died and was raised, repent, and accept Him as Lord and Savior, we are born again of water and Spirit.

Romans 3:23 · Romans 10:9–10 · John 3:3–8

06

Holy Spirit & Christ's Return

We believe in the final outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the latter glory to come — called to occupy until He returns and to prepare by preaching the gospel to the nations. Jesus Christ is coming back for a glorious church without spot or wrinkle.

2 Peter 3:14 · Ephesians 5:25–27

07

Repentance & Restoration

We believe this calls today for repentance — seeking God first and all His righteousness, walking in purity and holiness, and returning to God in preparation for the return of Jesus Christ, a New Heaven and Earth, the New Jerusalem.

Acts 3:19–21 · Hebrews 12:22–24 · Revelation 21:1–27

Salvation Prayer

If you believe that Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach, His original Hebrew name) is the Son of God, who suffered and died on the cross for our sins and the sins of the world, and was raised from the dead after the third day. Please say this prayer from the bottom of your heart, and you shall be born again. And yes, that decision is a personal decision between you and God. Blessings.

Prayer of Salvation

"Heavenly Father, I recognize that I am a sinner and that my sin separates me from you. I repent of all my sins and confess Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) as my Lord and Savior. I believe with all my heart that Jesus died for my sins and the sins of all in the world, and that You raised Him from the dead. Please forgive me, heavenly Father, and wash me with the blood of your Son, Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach). Jesus (Yeshua), come into my heart and take charge of all my life. Today, I am born again, and I receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire! I choose to forgive all who have ever sinned against me, and I pray you forgive them. I also pray that all forgive me for sinning against them in Jesus' name. Today I break every covenant with the devil, with my flesh, with the world, and my past. The day I die, when I open my eyes, I will be in your arms. In Jesus' name, Amen."
