We believe in the Scriptures that the Messiah had to come before 70 AD and that Yeshua can be the only Messiah that fits the Hebrew Bible.
1. We believe after much research that the King James Bible, 1611 is the best English version of the word of God. This English version comes from:
A - TaNaKh- Torah, Prophets, Writings from the Hebrew Masoretic text edited by Ben Chayyim called the Daniel Bomberg edition, the Second Great Rabbinic Bible(1524-25)
B - The Textus Receptus \ Koine Greek for the gospels and letters or Brit Chadashah
As for the other bibles, through much study, we know who is behind them. We urge you to study and show yourself approved.
We believe that, according to His word, God preserved his word.
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. (Psalm 12:6-7)
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever.(1 Peter 1:23-25)
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (Proverb 30:5)
We believe that the following prophecy has come because the devil has succeeded in convincing the masses that the King James Bible is a cult and the other bibles are the word of God:
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)
The reason that the masses like the new bibles is: Sin is less sinful. The words they hate - hell, devil, Lucifer, evil, judgment, and many other words and verses - are taken out. Less is expected of them. The bible has been diluted and now fits into the new world church. They are now ready to be taken in by the anti Christ (false Messiah).
2. We believe Yeshua said, You MUST be born again.
Read all of Romans 10:9-13, simple prayer of Salvation
We believe that through the Grace of God, all could be saved. We must believe
that Jesus is the Messiah and he shed his blood for the remission of our sins.
We must confess and repent of all sins that are past, and sin intentionally
NO MORE. We must be born again into a new creature of God. Baptism in Water
represents being born again and arising as a new creature in God
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Rom 6:4)
We must keep the commandments and ordinances of God (See our article about the Ten Commandments). 11.25.05
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.(1 John 2:3-5)
3. We believe in the whole word of God. Gentiles are grafted into the Israel of God. Therefore, their laws are your laws, their testimonies are your testimonies, their ordinances are your ordinances, their people are your people, and their Feasts are your Feasts. In short, the entire bible becomes our bible. We are all one in Christ.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same
Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans
10:12-13)
4. We believe in Heaven:
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.(Matthew 4:17)
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:2-3)
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. (John 18:36)
5. We believe in the fire that never shall be quenched, as stated in Isaiah 66:24. Why? Because Jesus spoke more about hell than anyone in the bible.
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (Mark 9:44-48)
The worm is the soul of man:
How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm? (Job 25:6)
Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel(Isaiah 41:14).
6. We believe that after death comes the judgment.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27)
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.( Ecclesiastes 12:7 )
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that
God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth
them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath;
so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go
unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast
that goeth downward to the earth? (Ecclesiastes 3:18-21)
7. We believe in the resurrection of the dead at the end of the World.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all
be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying
that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength
of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding
in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain
in the Lord.(1 Cor. 15:50-58)
8. There is no pre-Tribulation Rapture. We believe That when the Messiah comes at the end of the World, The evil will be taken first and those that remain will be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of
man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall
be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the
one shall be taken, and the other left.(Matthew 24:37-41) Read this again.
You will see that the ones taken away were the sinners (they which were eating
and drinking) which matches with the two next verses.
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his
disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of
the field.
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of
man;
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but
the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is
the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be
in the end of this world.The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they
shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing
of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear(Matthew 13:36-42)
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord (1 Thes. 4:17)
9. We believe that the Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom and Understanding. Read Proverbs Chapter 1. Christians today have forgotten the Fear of the Lord.
10. We Believe that we must be Perfect as the Lord God is Perfect .
Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God ( Deut 18:13 )
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.(Matthew 5:48)
11. We believe there are three that bear record in Heaven: The Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.(1 John 5:7)
12. We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Book of Acts Chapter 1 and 2:
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. (Acts 1:5)
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 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 2:1-4)
13. We believe in the food laws of God. These Laws are many places in Scripture. ex. Lev.11
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
