Statement of Faith

Shama Israel Adonai Elohenu Adonai Echad

Hear, O Yah’sar’el (Israel): hwhy our Supreme One hwhy is Akhad:

1. The Great Ein Sof, the God, the Master of the universe, Adonai YHWH is the one and only true God. He is the creator of all things, (Gen 1:1-31), and eternally revealing Himself in an Akhad (Unity of plurality) of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit and the seven other Spirits of God, which are revealed in scripture. (Gen. 1:1, 26; Matt. 3:16; Deut. 6:4; John 12:28, 14:16, 17:5; Acts 5:3-4; Rom. 1:7; 1 Cor. 8:6; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 2:18; Heb. 1:8, Zec 3:9; Rev 3:1).

2. Abbah YHWH is perfect in set-apartness, infinite in wisdom, measureless in power (Deut. 32:4; 2 Chron. 16:9; Rom. 11:33). He is the head of all in heaven and earth (Eph. 3:15), the supreme authority/power (John 8:29) and in the Body of Messiah (1 Cor. 11:3), his personal name is YHWH (Exo 3:14) unchangeable.

3. Yahushua the Messiah (Jesus of Nazareth) is the image of the invisible God, which is to say, He is Himself the word or God (John 1:1; Heb. 1:3). He became like men with a special body prepared in heaven (Heb 10:5; Ps 40:6; Exo 24:10), being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin birth through Miriam in the likeness of men, the suffering servant. He died upon the Tree as a one time special substitution sacrifice for the sin of Israel and whoever wishes to engraft into Israel. He arose from the dead on the third day in the body in which He was impaled. He ascended into Heaven in that body, which was glorified, where He is now our interceding High Priest. He will come again personally and visibly and in his own glorified body to set up His Kingdom and to judge the living and the dead (Psalm 2:6; Col. 1:15; Phil. 2:5-8; Matt. 1:18-25; I Peter 2:24, 25; Luke 24; Acts 1:9-11; I Thess. 4:16-18; Matt. 25:31-46; Rev. 11:15-17; Rev. 20:4-6; Rev. 20:11-15).

The Messiah did not come to setup a new religion but He came to fulfil the prophets Matt 5:17 and to continue in the faith of Judaism. Christianity in its various forms are the prophetic sons of the house of Ephraim, who became many gentile nations now grafted into Israel. One day they will return to the Elder brother's house that is Judah (Luke 15:17-18) through the Messiah Yahushua (Jesus of Nazareth)

Luke 15:17-18 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18) I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

4. The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit's) ministry is to glorify the King Messiah Yahushua as Her representative Son on the earth (John 14:16, 26) and to teach us the truth of Abbah YHWH's Torah by convicting of sin leading to repentance. She illuminates God’s Word to the believers (Prov 8; John 16:13; 1 Cor. 2:10-14). The Holy Spirit reveals the feminine aspect of God of the heavenly family, who imparts a new nature to those who believe in the atoning work of Messiah of the House of Israel and places them into Messiah's Body engrafting them into Israel, by an act of spiritual baptism (Rom. 6:3-4; Titus 3:5; 1 Cor. 12:13). The Baptism is both physical and spiritually joining us to Israel. The seed of God is planted by the Holy Spirit received from Abbah YHWH to place inside us a spiritual act known as the birth from above, John 3:3, Luke 8:11. Yahushua is the Middle-Pillar repairing the tikkun olam allowing us to the kingdom that He is the head of.

5. Adam was created in the image of God and by the direct act of God (Gen. 1:26-27; 1 John 5:2; 1 John 4:4). We are all the children of Adam but not the children of God unless we have the new birth now given through the Messiah but Judah does not need to become Christian but to continue in the Torah of Moses. Judah will be revealed the Messiah at the appointed time in the future. We agree with Judah’s decrees and are in a learning phase to catch-up. This means Abrahamic-Faith members at least adhere to halacha setup by the sages such as Elder Hillel, Judah Nasi who codified it etc. We are in no conflict to believe in Yahushua as the Messiah as Jewish groups did proclaim messiah’s in the past and it was no sin for them to do so, while we believe Yahushua is our Messiah and Adon (Master).

6. Salvation is given when the individual responds to the convicting ministry of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) with faith in the sacrificial atoning work of Yahushua the Messiah on the Tree, His burial, and His resurrection. Each person receives, at the moment of his trusting, eternal salvation only as a free gift from God (John 3:16; John 1:12; Eph 2:8). We are to obey the Torah of Moses as our right response afterwards and if we do not then we have nullified the work done for us. Your Torah obedience decides what resurrection you get first or second in the kingdom to come. Many Christians are going to get a rude awakening when they realise they have missed the boat on this one…

7. Heaven is the place of God's dwelling. God is coming down to dwell with us here on the earth. We do not go up but He will come down In Israel as His kingdom will be established there in the future.

8. The Bible, consisting of sixty-six books is the verbally inspired Word of God, without error in the original language of Hebrew/Aramaic. By God's sovereign grace, the manuscripts which are accepted by Orthodox Judaism and orthodox Christianity have been preserved to this day without substantial error, so that the Scriptures available to the believer today may be relied upon to be God's Holy Word. God’s word does not change and or get abrogated (Mal 3:6, Heb 13:8).

9. The Body of Messiah is spiritual Israel to be manifested into one Body one flock (House of Jacob) of which Messiah is the Head (John 10:16; 1 Cor. 12:12-13). The mission of the Body of Messiah is to gather the lost sheep of the House of Israel as instructed by the Messiah (Matt 10:6; Matt 15:24).

10. Feasts and Holy days - The weekly Sabbath Friday sundown to Saturday sundown, the new moons, the seven annual feasts, the seven yearly Sabbaths and the Jubilee are fundamental commandments, must be believed and kept to the best of our ability wherever we are. The Jewish people, the Rabbis are the teachers and guides to assist us in appointed times and functions. We are to submit to the laws established by them because God placed Judah at the head and as His lawgiver Ps 60:7. The kohenim (Lewim) are still His teachers in an everlasting covenant Mal 2:4-7.

11. Future events are taught in Scripture. These events include the return of King Messiah as visible YHWH (Jer 23:5-6) (The Body of Messiah spiritual Israel manifesting as physical Israel in the Land of Israel), the judgment of the nations, the restoring of the Jewish nation to the land fully with the House of Ephraim (the northern bride) to be gathered so both Judah and Ephraim become one flock and the establishing of the literal earthly kingdom of the King Messiah for one thousand years as promised to the nation of Israel (Isaiah 24:23; Zech. 14:4: Rev. 20:4), followed by the resurrection and judgment of the unrighteous and the ushering in of the eternal state (Rev. 20:7-15; Rev. 21).

We reject any people that practices Replacement Theology and their theology that they now replace Israel, we believe that Israel today is a fulfilment of Bible prophecy and has always had a special place in God's heart and God loves the Jewish people as a covenant people (Malachi 1:2-3, Deuteronomy 7:7-8) and the other 10 dispersed tribes, which He is gathering to Himself as the divorced wife that needs to return, today prophetically Christians.

12. We believe that God has made an eternal covenant with Israel the twelve tribes. (e.g. Genesis 17:7; Jeremiah 31:35-37; Romans 11:28-29). We believe that the preservation and continuity of the Jewish people to this present day is an outstanding and inexplicable miracle of world history, and that the return of the Jewish people to Israel as a fulfilment of Bible Prophecy and to add to that the Messiah Yahushua is coming back to Israel when they cry out for him (Zec 12:4-14:3-4). We believe that God has in His heart the reunification of the twelve tribes known as the House of Israel and House of Judah yet to take place as one tree (Ezek 37, Rom 11) to be yet establish in the millennium.

13. We believe that Yahushua (Jesus) the Messiah is the eternal living Torah and it is through the Torah that we come to know Him thus the Torah stands forever, without Torah God cannot judge sin and without Torah the Son cannot be known and without Torah there is no righteousness. Torah not only reveals sin but also reveal righteousness and how to live it. Deut 4:6; Deut 30:19.

14. We believe God has revealed the end from the beginning Isaiah 46:10 so we cannot discard Torah, the law and the beginning and call it only for the Jews this kind of theology is not acceptable to us because God has declared that "My Council stands". The covenant on Mount Sinai was made with Israel the twelve tribes and subsequently renewed at Mount Nebo Deut 29:2, which our sags recognise as the NEW Covenant.

Isaiah 46:10 "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, `My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure,"

We do not encourage the practice of asceticism because the very first commandment in Scriptures is to "Be fruitful and multiply", how could this be done by remaining ascetic? We discourage this practice and believe it is for some people for only a short duration of time but Scripture does not mandate that this makes you holier as did the early anti-Jewish church fathers.

15. The Torah will be taught by the King Messiah right out of Jerusalem in the Millennium and hence it is good instruction for our living, no flesh can be saved by good deeds, yet we must do Torah for declaring our righteous state. The Torah both reveals sin and leads to life by allowing people to come into experience with the living God.

Torah instruction is for our blessings and righteous living as instructed by Messiah Matthew 5:17-19 and to become His disciples it is essential John 8:31-31, because it sets us free from world bondage of human laws.

Isaiah 2:3 "Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Adonai, to the house of the God of Jacob; he will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.'' For out of Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the word of Yahuweh from Jerusalem"

16. All those souls that do not believe in the salvation on offer through Israel and her Messiah will be destroyed at the end – terminated!!!! John 3:15, Matt 10:28.

17. Judah is not to be evangelised, we do not encourage this practice. We must work with Judah and not against her. She is in the Father’s hands already, Luke 15:31. She is Adonai’s lawgiver, Gen 49:10 and Ps 60:7. We submit to her decrees established by the sages as much as we can and encourage others to do so in love to bring a united Israel with harmony and no fighting amongst our ranks.

18. There is a resurrection of the dead but there is no rapture. This is a false teaching that has enveloped many churches today. Christians should learn to walk according to scriptures more accurately because they are going to have to do a lot of walking when the rapture does not arrive and they will have to walk back to Israel. Be prepared and do not be deceived.

Jeremiah 50:4 "In those days and in that time,'' says the Lord, "The children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together; with continual weeping they shall come, and seek the Lord their God.

19. We believe in protecting Adonai’s most sacred name when we are in an unfit state and not to profane it by shouting it out to the gentiles, who do not yet know how to handle it. However we use it freely in our worship.

Rabbi Simon Altaf (Nasi and kohen of Adonai)
