We believe that when a person is born again they receive the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit which is known as the fruits of the Holy Spirit. John 20:22, Romans 8:23, the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify God, to comfort and lead believers into all truth, to convict men of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to empower the people of God unto good works in Jesus Christ.
Statement of Faith
We believe that water baptism (Mikvah) is a biblical rite that has been practiced
among people since the days of Moses (Exodus 29:4) and is considered to be one of the fundamental principles of faith in the Messiah Heb 6:1, Acts 2:38 (Mikvah/ immersion or Baptism) are ritual baths that symbolize repentance from sin and purification from the world. The ritual was practiced by the Levitical priesthood Matt 3:13-16, Heb 7:15-17. Receiving water baptism after receiving Jesus Christ as our savior identifies us with death, burial, and resurrection. Col 2:9-13, Rom 6:4. It also identifies us as a new covenant priest after the order of Melchizedek. Heb 7:18-28, Rev 1:6.
We believe that the people of God are called to be holy for without holiness no man
can see God (Elohim Lev 19:2 1 Peter 1:14-16) Sanctification is an ongoing and progressive work of grace that sets believers apart unto God in spirit soul and body. 1 Thess 5:23, Faith in Jesus messiah through the blood of Jesus Christ we are sanctified Heb 13:12, 1 Thess 2:13 and obedience to his word sanctifies us in soul and body. Psalm 19:6, Matt 17:l7-20, Eph 5:26, Heb 9:13-14.
We believe in the great commission of disciplining the nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and teaching them to observe all that God
commanded.
We believe in the five-fold ministry and rsquo gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers which have been given to equip the saints to do the works of the ministry until we all come into unity if the faith. Eph 2:19-20, 4:11 20, 1 Cor 12:7-14.
We believe that the wheat and tares (righteous and unrighteous grow up together until they mature and are ready for harvest. Matt 13:24-30, 36-43). At that time Jesus Christ harvests his people into his presence and the angels harvest the wicked into the winepress of wrath (Isaiah 26:19-24, 1 Cor 15:50-54, 1 Thess 4:16-17, Revelation 14:14-20, 15:1).
