Hadasha) is the only infallible and authoritative Word of God. (I
Timothy 3:16)

as declared in the Shema (Deut. 6:4), "a united one" or a "compound
unity" eternally existent in three Persons as expressed in Isaiah
48:16-17.
- In the Deity of Yeshua
Ha Mashiach (Jesus, the Messiah), that He is the "Seed of the Woman"
promised by God in Genesis 3:15 and that His virgin birth was to be a
sign to Israel of His Messiahship as stated in Isaiah 7:14. (Isaiah
9:6-7)
- In Messiah's life, His
miracles yesterday and today, His vicarious and sacrificial death as our
atonement, His bodily resurrection, His appearance thereafter in
Jerusalem, His ascension, His personal future establishment of His
kingdom on earth.
- In the Blessed Hope of
the Rapture of the Church at Christ's Coming
- That the only means of
being cleansed from sin is by grace, through faith in the shed

Spirit of God is absolutely essential for personal salvation. (Leviticus
17:11, Ephesians 2:8)

eternal separation from God, the latter being consigned to the state of
everlasting punishment. (Daniel 12:2, Matthew 25:46)

body of the Lord is composed of both Jews and Gentiles who have accepted
Yeshua Ha Mashiach as the Promised Redeemer, worshipping together in the
House of God. (I Corinthians 12:13, Hebrews 10:25, Ephesians 2:12-14)
- In the partaking of
the communal elements of the matzah (unleavened bread) and the wine, as
instituted by Yeshua Ha Mashiach at His last Passover Seder, that the
elements are symbolic of the Lord's death and His resurrection. (I
Corinthians 11:23-24)

believers (Mikvah aka baptism), at the age of accountability as
commanded by the scriptures, as an outward sign of an inward salvation
experience, symbolizing the death of the old man and the resurrection
unto newness of life. (Matthew 3:16, 28:18-20)
