That we are a part of the universal body of Messiah comprised of both Jews and Gentiles 2. We believe Yeshua Hamashiach, the Jewish way to say Jesus Christ, is the Promised Messiah, was born of the Virgin Miriam (Mary), lived in Israel, ministered to the Jewish People, chose 12 Jewish Apostles, fulfilled the prophecies of the Tanach, (Old Testament), taught the precepts of God, died for our sins on the cursed tree (cross), shed his blood for everlasting atonement, and rose from the dead the third day, to be both Lord and Messiah. We believe in Him was the fullness of God in a body. (His deity). We express this Unity as a Tri-Unity. One God expressed in three personages. We believe He is coming again soon! 3. We believe that we are to help bring Messiah back by sharing the good News with the Jewish People reconciling them back to their God and Messiah. 4. Our eschatology is as foretold in Matt. 24, Revelation, etc. 5. We relate to many different denominations and fellowships, some MJ congregations are Baptist, some Pentecostal, some Charismatic, some Lutheran etc. Being an Evangelical is the covering that we best relate to. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── FINET statement of faith ──────────────────────── We believe: The bible is the Word of God, inerrant, infallible and inspired (God-breathed) in its original autographs, a complete and final revelation of God; In one God, personal and knowable, Who manifests Himself in the Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; That Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, born of a virgin, without sin and the chosen Messiah Who will one day set up His kingdom on earth; That Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried, rose again from the dead, ascended back to heaven and will one day again return to this earth; That all persons are sinners, guilty before God, deserving of judgment and in need of the Savior Jesus Christ our Lord; That salvation from sin, death and hell is by God's grace, based on the work of Jesus Christ alone, and is received by faith apart from any human performance or merit; That all believers in Jesus Christ are baptized, sealed and indwelt by the Holy Spirit and that He fills those believers who obey God and separate from sinful habits and life-styles; That eternal life is a gift of God; In the eternal punishment of the unbeliever and in the eternal life of the believer. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── (Dealing with the cults on an international echo over the years has given rise to articulate specific rules for cult_watch echo) Subject: RULES OF CULT WATCH From: Harvey Smith Cultwatch Policy.001 - Natl.
