Ahm Yisrael

Our Vision: To prepare and equip the Bride for her Bridegroom, Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah)

Our Mission: Prepare and equip the Bride by existing as a Messiah-centered, Torah observant community of believers, both Jewish and non-Jewish and to worship as one. Our goal is to share the entirety of G-D’s Word, which consists of the Tanakh (Old Testament) and Brit Chadashah (New Testament) with all peoples from all Nations.

Our example is that of our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) and His talmidim (disciples). Our faith is Biblical Judaism, which is faith handed down to us by G-D through His chosen people beginning with G-D’s covenant with Adam, continuing his covenant with Avraham, (Abraham), extending through the Sinai Covenant and completing with the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) or Renewed Covenant, we find it consistent to the followers of Judaism and the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus).

We fulfill our goal by sharing these truths with people from the Jewish community, the Christian community, people from other faiths and with people who have no faith system at all.

Our Statement of Faith: is based on the Holy Scriptures, consisting of the Tanakh (The Old Testament) and the later writings commonly known as the Brit Chadashah (New Testament or Renewed Covenant), is the only infallible and authoritative Word of G-D. We recognize its divine inspiration and accept its teachings as our final authority in all matters of faith and practice (Deuteronomy. 6:4-9; Proverbs 3:1-6; Psalms 119:89, 105; Isaiah 48:12-16; Romans 8: 14-17; II Timothy 2:15, 3:16-17).

We believe there is only one G-D (Deut 6:4). He is the Creator of heaven and earth, of all living beings and of everything both visible and invisible (Genesis 1:1; Colossians 1:15-17). Although He is limitless in power, authority, time, matter and space, He has chosen, in His infinite wisdom, to reveal His nature to humanity in perceivable and comprehensible manners.

Scripture records G-D revealing Himself in the following manners: as fire (covenant with Avraham between the two halves of the cow; Genesis 15:17), as the form of a man not born of a woman (when He approached Avraham with the two angels; Genesis 18), as a burning bush (spoke to Moshe (Moses); Exodus 3:2), as the fourth Man in the furnace (Daniel 3:25), as the promised Messiah being a Man made of flesh and born of an “almah” (virgin) (Isaiah 7:14; Galatians 4:4).

Although there are numerous examples of G-D revealing Himself to humanity in various ways and forms, of those ways and forms, He has chosen to refer to Himself in the following primary contexts: as HaAv (The Father), Yeshua (Jesus) and as the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit). What makes these primary contexts important is not only the fact that G-D used these forms to reveal Himself to humanity, but in doing so, He refers to Himself in these primary contexts as the One and Only True and Living G-D.

We believe that G-D created man in His Image (Genesis 1:26,27).

We believe through disobedience, man fell from his first state and became separated from G-D (Genesis 2:17; 3:22-24). Therefore, according to the Scriptures, all men are born with a sinful nature (Psalms 14:1-3, 49:7, 53:13; Isaiah 64:6; Romans 3:9-12 & 23, 5:12).

We believe man’s only hope for redemption (salvation) is through the atonement made by Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah); (Leviticus 17:11; Isaiah 53; Daniel 9:24-26; I Corinthians 15:22; Hebrews 9:11-14, 28; John 1:12, 3:36), resulting in regeneration by the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5), which is the new birth (John 3:3-8). For by grace we are saved through faith, it is a gift of G-D (Ephesians 2:8-9).

We observe and celebrate The L-RD’s Holy Days given by G-D to Israel, with their fulfillment in and through The Messiah Yeshua.

We believe that true “Biblical Judaism,” the faith of first-century believers, which we seek to practice, acknowledges the continuity of faith in the one true G-D, revealed throughout the Scriptures and ultimately manifested in Yeshua, The Messiah.

We believe that salvation has always been “by faith,” and the works of the law, or righteous acts, have never saved anyone (Genesis 15:6; Romans 2-6; Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 11:6,39).

We acknowledge that the New Covenant Body of believers is composed of both Jews and non-Jews who have received Yeshua, The Messiah as the Promised Redeemer. The “middle wall of partition” has been broken down and now we worship the G-D of Israel together (I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 2:13-14).

According to the Scriptures, one must be born into the Kingdom of G-D. Entrance into the Kingdom of G-D is not based on merit (Genesis 15:6; Romans 2-6; Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 11:6, 39). Scripture does not define this birth into the Kingdom of G-D as the physical birth that occurs when a mother gives birth to her child. It does, however define this birth as a spiritual birth (John 3:1-6).

We believe this spiritual birth is referred to and described by The Jewish Messiah, Yeshua, as Besurat HaGe’ulah (the Good News; Mark 13:10 and 16:15) from G-D to all mankind starting with the Jews and proceeding to the non-Jews (Romans 1:15-17).

As the Scriptures declare in Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16 and Luke 24:47 (not an exhaustive list of references), the spiritual birth consists of “teshuvah” (repentance), “tevilah” (Immersion in water), and “act by G-D,” in which He fills an individual with His Ruach HaKodesh (His Holy Breath).

We believe following this spiritual birth and entrance into the Kingdom of G-D, the believer should display a willingness to submit his/her own will to the will of G-D expressed in His Commandments, which were given by G-D in the Scriptures (John 14:15, 15:10) (Tanakh and Brit Chadasha).
