God
God, creator of all things (Genesis 1:1, John 1:3), is infinitely perfect and eternally existing in a triune nature as: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah is truly God and man (John 1:1), having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a woman, the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the prophecy spoken about by the prophets of old (Isaiah 53). Furthermore, He arose from the dead 3 days later and ascended into heaven where, at the right hand of the Father, He is our High Priest. He reigns today on His throne in the midst of His enemies, with full control over all the affairs of nations, kingdoms, and men.

God’s Spirit is omnipresent (present everywhere) and glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ. During this age, He works to convict, regenerate, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for righteous living and service.
Mankind
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and were appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations.
The Fall
When Adam and Eve disobeyed a direct instruction of God, they fell from how God had intended them to live in perfect harmony with Him. Disobedience or breaking God's instructions (Torah), is what sin is, in its most basic sense (1John 3:4). That disobedience brought death into the world and separated us from our Creator.
Salvation
There is only one name under heaven by which we must be saved: the one and only Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ). There is salvation in no other name except Jesus Christ. It is not the pronunciation of His name in Hebrew or any specific dialect or language that grants salvation; eternal salvation is the free gift of God to men and not of works of any kind—including performance of the tongue to speak Hebrew—lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8,9 and Habakkuk 2:4). Jesus said: I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except by me (John 14:6). In order to inherit the Kingdom of God, we must confess in prayer that we have broken God’s laws (we have sinned), repent (return) of those actions and thoughts, and then accept what Jesus did for us in our place at the cross. We then obey the doctrine and commandments of Christ out of a heart of love (John 14:15) and not out of a place of pride, performance, or legalism. Legalism is defined as man-made additions to or subtractions from the written Word of God. While man-made traditions are helpful and normal in the practice of Christian faith, traditions become legalisms when they are elevated as necessary for obtaining salvation; and such elevation of traditions is to be considered hypocrisy and vanity according to the words of Christ (Matthew 15:9). Anyone who has called upon the name of Jesus through prayer and made Him Lord of their life must then take steps to walk just like Jesus walked as a Torah-observant Hebrew of the Tribe of Judah (John 15:10). Understanding of this walk must be obtained little by little and not all at once (Isaiah 28:10; Acts 15:21).

Prayer to God for salvation is simple, and because He is omnipresent, He is able to hear both your thoughts (Psalm 94:11) and even whispered prayer (Psalm 139:4); and He often responds in conversation with us through His still, small voice (1 Kings 19:12). 

We believe that regeneration is a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit by which the divine nature and divine life are given (John 3:3-7; Titus 3:5). It is instantaneous and is accomplished solely by the power of the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the Word of God (John 5:24) when the repentant sinner, as enabled by the Holy Spirit, responds in faith to the divine provision of salvation. Genuine regeneration is manifested by fruits worthy of repentance as demonstrated in righteous living (following God’s Commandments). Good works (following Torah) are the proper evidence and fruit of regeneration (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 2:10), and will be experienced to the extent that the believer submits to the control of the Holy Spirit in his or her life through faithful obedience to the Word of God (Ephesians 5:17-21; Philippians 2:12b; Colossians 3:16; 2 Peter 1:4-10). This obedience causes the believer to be increasingly conformed to the image of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). Such a conformity is climaxed in the believer’s glorification at Christ’s coming (Romans 8:17; 2 Peter 1:4; 1 John 3:2-3).

Scripture
The Bible is the final standard of faith and practice for the believer in Jesus Christ and for His Church. It is the final completed revelation of God’s plan of salvation to all mankind. While recognizing the historical, interpretive, and guiding value of creeds and confessions of faith made throughout the history of the Church, we affirm the Bible alone and the 66 books of the Canon as the infallible and final authority in the life of a believer. Special revelations in the form of dreams, prophetic words, or visions that are in contradiction to the Word of God are false and are therefore to be utterly rejected. The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the Canon of the Scripture; and therefore are of no authority in the Church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved, or made use of, than other human writings.[1]

Torah
We believe that the Torah (the first 5 books of the Bible; also called the Decalogue or Pentateuch) and the Gospel of Jesus Christ are the foundation of all revelation. These works together are the perfect guide for all faith and practice of all mankind. We believe Jesus came to establish the Torah in the hearts of spiritual Israel and not to abolish the Torah as taught in many Christian churches worldwide (see Matthew 5:17 and the "new covenant" of Jeremiah 31:31). When properly understood, the Torah points to the Messiah and teaches of His love and grace toward humanity from the beginning with Adam and Eve and subsequently after. We believe the Torah is the revelation of God’s instructions for righteous living and that Jesus Christ came to be the supreme example of His righteous and Holy Instructions. Lastly, all inspired 66 books of our Bible comprise the complete Torah (that is, Instructions) as revealed through God’s prophets, apostles, and most importantly Christ Jesus.
Who is Israel?
Ancient Israel was made up of twelve tribes from the sons of Jacob who ultimately split into two nations—the House of Israel (also called Ephraim) in the north and the House of Judah in the south. God divorced the House of Israel consisting of Ten Tribes and scattered them to the nations (Gentiles). Becoming mixed and mingled with the nations, they eventually became the gentiles that the early Apostles, including Paul, were called to evangelize, such as Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, and Spain. While the House of Judah (Two Tribes) was sent into captivity into Babylon not long after God’s divorce and judgement on the House of Israel, they came back to the land that was promised to Abraham after 70 years of prophesied captivity were complete. More recently in history after the Jewish Roman Wars (AD 66–135), Judah also had a significant scattering throughout the world just like her sister Israel.

We believe that the physical descendants of Jacob, the 12 tribes of Israel, are forever the chosen people of God and we can trace their whereabouts through the blessings from Jacob to his 12 sons (as well as Manasseh and Ephraim) primarily in Genesis 48 and 49 together with Deuteronomy 33. The understanding of where Israel as a whole currently resides is a matter of understanding prophecy because in the end of time, God will destroy the nations He scattered His people to and bring them back to the land of promise (see Jeremiah 25:29 and Jeremiah 30).

Furthermore, there is also a Spiritual Israel to which all believers in Christ currently belong to and that does not have or require a specific genetic connection to Jacob. All those who are in Christ Jesus inherit the promises of Abraham and become known as his seed. Anyone who calls upon the name of Lord Jesus and believes in his heart that God has raised Him from the dead will be saved (Romans 10:10); and they also become grafted in as branches into the one Holy Olive Tree, or Nation of Spiritual Israel, as described in Romans 11. As Paul also said, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:28-29 NKJV). This Spiritual Israel is the same thing as the "church" referred to in the New Testament, which is the same thing as the "congregation" or "assembly" that is referred to in the Old Testament. The "church" has not replaced "Israel" because the "church" is actually "Israel" and consists of both Houses that will one day be physically reunited under the direct leadership of Jesus at His second coming (Jeremiah 30:3, Isaiah 11, and Ezekiel 39:25-29). There is no such thing as a "church of nations" or "church of gentiles" that is a separate entity from Spiritual Israel. There is only one church, and it is the same thing as the Spiritual Israel of God (Ephesians 4:4-6, 1Peter 2:9, Exodus 19:6).
The Regathering of the Whole House of Israel
The regathering of both Houses of Israel and Judah is the main purpose of prophecy. As stated above, Israel is God’s elect and is composed of a body of believers that have each individually submitted their lives fully to Christ Jesus. As described in the Gospels, Jesus will come upon the clouds and gather His elect from the four winds (Matthew 24:30-31). All the major and minor prophets of the Old Testament have prophesied of the regathering of the House of Israel and the House of Judah back into one nation with Jesus Christ as their final king. The Whole House of Israel will then be under peace forevermore (Ezekiel 37).
Creeds: Summaries of Christian Belief and Doctrine
Creeds, such as the ones included here, are not to be understood as a word of God to men, but instead are a word of men to God, in response to His revelation. Both the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed are in full harmony with the spirit and even the letter of the New Testament. 

Note: the word “catholic” simply means “universal” or “including all Christians”, referring to the worldwide church of God, or Spiritual Israel, that is currently scattered among the nations. We do not endorse or promote the organization currently called the “Catholic Church” nor its idolatry.
Apostles' Creed (AD 150-180)
(originating from about AD 150-180)

      was crucified, died, and was buried;
      he descended to hell.
      The third day he rose again from the dead.
      He ascended to heaven
      and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
      From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
          I believe in the Holy Spirit,
      the holy catholic church,
      the communion of saints,
      the forgiveness of sins,
      the resurrection of the body,
      and the life everlasting. Amen.
Nicene Creed (AD 325)
(originating from about AD 325)

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,

through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
