Beliefs: Steadfast For Israel. Triune Nature of One True God. Follow Torah
Doctrinal Statement
Sorry folks I had to input this Doctrinal Statement and make it
manditory you agree to it to be a member of this network:
Statement of Faith
That we might have unity among us, and that we all speak the same thing
as regards the foundation of our faith, and that with integrity we present
our witness of Yeshua the Messiah as those who walk in His light, let it
be hereby established that Messianic Bureau International holds that...
1. All Scripture is given by the Breath/Spirit of Elohim [God], and is to be
used for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in
righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16.
2. Hear, O Israel: YHWH [the L-RD] is our Elohim. He is One YHWH. He
alone is YHWH. Deuteronomy 6:4.
3. The nature of YHWH is a compound unity expressed in the aspects
of Abba [the Father], Yeshua [Salvation, the Son, Messiah] and Ruach
HaKodesh [the Holy Spirit/Breath] in this age. Matthew 28:19.
4. YHWH and His Word are eternal, that is: He, His Word and His Will
has always, and will always, be the same. Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8,
Matthew 5:18; 24:35.
5. The Shabbat [Sabbath], the seventh day of the week, is the created
holy day of YHWH, which He gave to mankind and covenanted with His
people as a sign forever. Exodus 31:16, Genesis 2:2-3, Isaiah 58:13-14,
Matthew 12:8.
6. Yeshua of Natzereth is the Messiah of Israel, the Savior of the world,
the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is YHWH who appeared among
mankind in the flesh, and now is glorified with all power in Heaven and in
Earth, at the right hand of Abba. John 1:12-14.
7. Messiah Yeshua is the ultimate and final Passover Lamb required for
the removal of sins. He died by execution stake (stagion) on a tree
(xulon) and rose from the dead three days afterward. Everyone who
repents of their sins, and trusts that Yeshua is the Messiah, who died as
our Passover Lamb and rose again, they are forgiven their sins and come
into a renewed covenant with YHWH through Him, and therefore become
inheritors of all the promises YHWH made with Abraham and Israel.
Isaiah 53, Romans 10:9-11, 1 Corinthians 5:7.
8. The Brit Chadashah [Renewed Covenant] in Messiah Yeshua brings
with it a new creation of the human spirit. The Torah [Law/Teaching] of
YHWH is planted inside so that Ruach HaKodesh may indwell there. An
external immersion in water (mikveh) is performed to declare that this has
taken place. Jeremiah 31:31-34, Ezekiel 39:29.
9. The various enablements (gifts) of Ruach HaKodesh are given with
authority to all those who ask YHWH and obey His commandments. The
Promise of Abba, an extra enduement of power and boldness for
witnessing, is an immersion (spiritual mikveh) by Ruach HaKodesh, as
initially was evidenced with speaking in other languages. Each follower
should seek to be filled with the various enablements of the Ruach, who
gives them as He wishes. Isaiah 28:11-12, Luke 11:13, Acts 1:4-5; 2:4;
5: 32, 1 Cor 12: 1-13, Eph 1:13.
10. The people of YHWH are a holy Miqra [Called Out/Ekklesia]
congregation, which is not of the world, in order to gather and celebrate
Him at His appointed holy Feasts, and to shine as lights of truth in the
darkness, and to be a royal priesthood which praises His Name.
Exodus 19:6, Leviticus 23, Matthew 16:18, 1 Peter 2:9.
11. The goals of the people of YHWH are:
* a.) to be followers of Yeshua the Messiah, until we mature into the
example He left us. Ephesians 4:13.
* b.) to be holy (separate from the world) as our Abba is holy. Therefore,
we are to learn and act on those things which makes us holy in His
sight.Leviticus 11:44-45, Ephesians 5:27.
* c.) to be righteous (right decision making) and godly (forgiving) in this
world. Titus 2:12.
* d.) to be clean, first in our conscious inner man, and then also in our
outward walk accordingly as we grow in the Ruach [Spirit] and
understanding of the Word. Psalm 51:10, 1 Thessalonians 4:7.
* e.) to be full of love for one another, thus proving we are Yeshua's
disciples; and caring for a lost world, to bring the message of the
Good News of Yeshua to the Jew first and also to the Gentiles.
John 13:34-35, Romans 1:16.
12. The promise of a continually faithful trust in Yeshua, while walking
according to the will of Elohim, is resurrection from the dead, eternal life
and ruling with Yeshua forever in the place where His Kingdom will rule. He
will yet rule in Jerusalem/Zion, and finally in New Jerusalem in the New
Creation forever. Revelation 19-22.
13. Yeshua will judge all mankind of all acts and words ever committed. He
will decide the sentence for punishment, and all those not meeting His
standard will be sent away from His presence, into outer darkness and
eternal punishment of the sin. Matthew 25:31-46, Revelation 20.
14. The final plan for the Israel of G-d is to bring the remnant of the faithful
Jewish people, and the remnant of those believers who were formerly
Gentiles, but recovered from the world by faith, back together and united
into one holy people under one Shepherd, namely Yeshua, the Messiah,
thus completing the tearing down of the wall of partition. This is a
necessary part of the restoration of all things spoken by the prophets.
Hosea 1-2, John 17, Romans 9:26, Ephesians 2, Acts 3:21.
Points of Order
1. THE HOLY NAME: The reading or aloud mention of "YHWH"
(Yod-Hey-Vav-Hey) is to be spoken as "the I AM" in English or as
"Hashem" (the Name) in Hebrew. "Adonai", "the Most High", or "Avinu
(Our Father)" may also be substituted as referring to the Holy Name.
Messiah said to say "Avinu (Our Father)," so this is to be done in all our
fellowship.
2. MESSIAH'S NAME: The name of our Messiah was and is Yeshua
or Y'shua meaning both "salvation" and "Yah who is salvation" in
Hebrew. The term "Yahshua" is not correct Hebrew pronounciation.
As a proper honor, He is to be referred to as "Messiah Yeshua,"
"Yeshua the Messiah" or "Adonai Yeshua" rather than "Yeshua" alone.
3. NAME AS AUTHORITY: The idea of '"name" in Hebrew is that of
"authority" without referring to the sound of the syllables. Use of a name
means use of the authority behind the name. Therefore, it is more important
to know by what authority something is done, rather than the spoken
syllables. When Messiah said He came in His Father's Name, He was
referring to the Father's Authority, not the syllables of the Holy Name.
4. THE TORAH: The Torah may refer to either the Five Books of Moses,
the entire Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures) or the whole Bible, depending on
usage. The Torah in our usage never refers to the Talmud or parts. We do
not consider the Talmud or any other commentary on the Scriptures as
the Word of G_d. The Torah is given for our protection, not for our
perfection. We do not judge the practice of minor, ambiguous or unlearned
parts of Torah, nor do we practice in the Diaspora those parts of Torah
which require residence in the land, a theocratic civil government and/or
a consecrated Temple on the Mount Moriah.
5. THE TALIT: The traditional Talit (white with dark stripes) may be worn
by men. Women may wear a Bat Mitzvah type pastel colored Talit that is
not mistaken for a man's Talit. Talits may be worn day or night with the blue
thread attached to white Tzitzit if available.
