 
            We believe Yahweh to be a 
            family name consisting of Yah, Yahweh the Father, and Yahshua Yahweh his Son.  We believe them to be two separate beings, but are 
            one in thought, mind, and love by the Holy Spirit. Gen 1:26, and Gen 
            19:24, shows this duality of beings. Deut 6:4, also states 
            "Yahweh Elohim, Yahweh Echad" (united, 
            supreme).  This word echad in the Hebrew shows a duality 
            of Yahweh.  We believe that Yahweh the Father is greater 
            than Yahshua the Son, (Jn 5:30, Matt 19:7) in both power and 
            Authority, but commands us to honor Yahshua as we honor him (Jn 
            5:23).
             We believe Yahshua 
            to be the Messenger of Yahweh in the Tanach (Old Testament) Is 42:1, 
            Ex 3:2, Gen 18:1-33 Ps 110 1:7 Ps 45:1-8, Ps 2:1-7, and also the 
            very Son of Yahweh (Pr 30:4).  The Hebrew word 
            "Malak" which is translated into English in most cases as 
            Angel, literally means Messenger.   Even men are 
            referred to as Malaks (2 Sam 11:19).  Yahshua was the 
            Malak or Messenger of Yahweh, but is not an Angel (Heb 1:5,13) but 
            is also Elohim (Jn 1:1-13).
             We believe all humans to be sinners waiting to be judged to eternal 
            damnation for our sins (Ro 3:10-20, Ps 5:19, Ps 10:7 Ps 14:1-3). 
              We believe that in His love for us while we were yet 
            sinners (Jn 3:16, Ro 5:8) Yahweh sent His only Son Yahshua, the 
            Messenger of the Covenant to die for the penalty of our law 
            breaking, and took our legal code of Debt (Col 2:14) away and 
            nailed it to the tree at His death.  We believe that 
            through repenting of our sins, and believing in Yahshua's sacrifice 
            for the forgiveness of those sins, and being immersed (baptized) in 
            Yahshua's Name, and having hands laid on by an elder for the 
            imparting of the Holy Spirit, that we go from death to life, and 
            have our sins forgiven and the death penalty removed.  By 
            repenting, we must totally turn from our old sinful nature to the 
            nature of YHWH. 
             We believe that we are saved by 
            grace through the covenant of faith.   There is nothing 
            that we can do to earn our salvation.  A good act cannot 
            annul a bad act (sin).  Only by accepting the blood 
            of Yahshua to pay our death penalty can we be 
            saved.
             We believe once we 
            are saved that we must walk in newness of life (Ro 6:1-23), and 
            sin no more (Lk 13:1-5, Jn 8:11), and obey Yahweh's Torah. 
              We are not obeying Torah to be saved, as accepting 
            Yahshua's blood for our sins already saved us.  We keep 
            Torah to please our Heavenly Father, and it teaches us right 
            from wrong (Ps 119:105).  We believe keeping 
            Yahweh's commandments shows Him that we truly love Him (1 Jn 2:2-4), 
            this includes the third commandment of not changing YHWH's 
            Name.
             We believe and 
            observe Yahweh's Sabbath day, as honoring Yahweh and Yahshua as 
            creators of the universe, and believe it to be a sign of Him 
            and His children (Ex 31:12-19).  We also honor His Holy 
            appointments with us in Leviticus the 23rd chapter, as they show His 
            redemptive work He is doing with mankind through the blood of His 
            Son.
             We believe a true 
            believer in Yahshua will be known by his fruits (Matt 7:17-23), and 
            by his true genuine love to others (Jn 
            13:34-35).  A true believer will even love his enemies 
            (Matt 5:43:48).  A true believer will sacrifice and give 
            to the poor and needy, and care for the fatherless and the 
            widow.  He will not covet money and other worldly things 
            but will have his heart set on serving Yahweh and heavenly 
            things.  He will not be condemning to others, knowing he 
            needs the Father's grace, and will always forgive others even if 
            they wrong him.  True love is the most important 
            characteristic of the true believer, not some form of 
            knowledge.  A true believer will be a slave to Yahshua, 
            and will share his salvation with others (2 Cor 
            5:14-21).  The kingdom of YHWH and not mammon will be 
            first in his life (Matt 6:24,33). 
             We believe that Yahshua 
            is returning to earth for a literal 1000 year reign, and His 
            kingdom will continue forever.  We believe those faithful, 
            will be resurrected from the dead, and will reign with Him as Kings 
            and Priests on the earth (Rev 5:10).  The wicked will 
            receive eternal damnation.   At His return, He will also 
            unite both The House of Judah and the House of Joseph into one (Ezek 
            37).  We believe that the Father is still working with the 
            Nation of Israel, and as believers should be focusing on calling 
            back the lost sheep of the House of Israel.  When someone 
            of the Nations comes to faith in Yahshua and is immersed in water he 
            also becomes part of the seed of Abraham and an heir of the 
            Kingdom.
