1. In the One and Only Living G-d, eternally existing as Abba (Father), Ben (Son), and Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit). He is the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; He is One G-d. As it is written: "Shema Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad" ("Hear O Israel, the L-RD our G-d, the L-RD is One").
2. In the work and presence of the Ruach HaKodesh. He brings forth the fruit of righteousness in the lives of all followers of Messiah. The Ruach HaKodesh also distributes gifts that lead to the building up and unity (echad) of the Body of Believers.
3. That, according to the Scriptures, Yeshua (Jesus) was born of a virgin. He is the promised Messiah of Israel and the Redeemer of the entire human race. By His obedient life, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection, He fulfilled the prophecies in the Tanach (the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings) that speak of Messiah’s first coming. According to the Scriptures, He will also return. Yeshua is Dvar HaShem (the Word of G-d), the Divine Messiah, the fullness of G-d in bodily form.
4. That G-d created man in His own image, endowing him with a longing for intimate fellowship with Him.
5. That man's disobedience (sin) to G-d's revealed will causes a separation between G-d and man that leads to death.
6. That the ONLY provision G-d made for reconciling man to Himself is the atoning work of Yeshua. The blood that poured out from His body while He hung on the execution stake became an offering for sin. The Father, as evidenced by Yeshua's bodily resurrection from the grave, accepted the sacrifice.
7. That all who repent from sin and accept G-d's salvation through Messiah are born from above (born again). Salvation is a free gift from G-d, by His chesed (grace), and is received by trusting (having faith) in Yeshua's atoning work.
8. In tevilah (immersion) of believers, as commanded by the Scriptures, which symbolizes the death of the "old" person and the rebirth into newness of life.
9. That those who have placed their trust in Yeshua as Adonai (L-RD) are born from above. They are born into the family of G-d, the Body of Messiah. This family includes both Jews and non-Jews. Non-Jews, being "wild branches", who have been grafted into "the good olive tree", along with Jews, being "the natural branches", who have received the promise of the G-d of their fathers.
10. That the Bible, both the Tanach (the Older Testament) and the Brit Chadashah (Renewed Covenant Scriptures), is the only inspired, authoritative Word of G-d, which is man's true foundation of faith, conduct, and eternal life.
11. That G-d gave the Torah (Pentateuch) for moral instruction and righteous living for all generations and reveals G-d's plan of salvation. Yeshua did not come to destroy Torah, but to establish and confirm it.
12. That G-d chose Israel to be a blessing to all nations. The day will come when Israel, as a nation, will accept Messiah Yeshua, as it is written, "...and they will look upon Me whom they have pierced." Yeshua will return bodily, according to the Scriptures and the Word of G-d will then go forth from Zion to establish His worldwide rule from Jerusalem. Our peoples' return to Eretz Yisrael is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
13. In the unity of all believers in Yeshua the Messiah. As followers of Yeshua and as part of the nation of Israel, we embrace our Biblical and cultural Jewish heritage. This is our identity - a witness to the faithfulness of G-d. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
