Adat Y'shua Ha Adon: STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are divinely inspired, verbally and completely inerrant in the original writings, and of supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and life.

We recognize the value of traditional Jewish religious literature, but only where it is supported by, or conformable to, the Word of God. We regard it as in no way binding upon life or faith.

We believe in one sovereign God, existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, unbounded in power, and measureless in love; and that God is the source of all creation and that, through the immediate exercise of His power, all things came into being.

We believe that God the Father is the author of eternal salvation, having loved the world and given His Son for its redemption.

We believe that Jesus the Messiah was eternally preexistent and is co-equal with God the Father; that He took on Himself the nature of man through the virgin birth, so that He possesses both divine and human natures. We believe in His sinless life and perfect obedience to the Law; in His atoning death, burial, and bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, high priestly intercession, and His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Son; that he was active in the creation of all things, and continues to be so in providence; that He convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgement; and that He regenerates, sanctifies, baptizes, indwells, seals, illumines, guides and bestows His gifts upon all believers.

We believe that God created Man in His image; but that because of the disobedience of our first parents in the Garden of Eden, they lost their innocence and both they and their descendants, separated from God, suffer physical and spiritual death; and that all human beings, with the exception of Jesus the Messiah, are sinners by nature and practice.

We believe that Jesus the Messiah died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice; that all who believe in Him are justified, not by any works of righteousness, but by His perfect righteousness and atoning Blood; and that there is no other name under Heaven by which we must be saved.

We believe that Israel exists as a covenanted people through whom God continues to accomplish His purposes, and that the Church is an elect people in accordance with the New Covenant, comprised of both Jews and Gentiles who acknowledge Jesus as Messiah and Redeemer.

We believe that Jesus the Messiah will return personally in order to consummate the prophesied purposes concerning His Kingdom.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
