What We Believe

"What comes into our minds when we think about yah (God) is the most important thing about us." - A.W. Tozer

Core Beliefs

The following are the core beliefs of New Yerushalayim Unity of the Faith Church based on the foundational truths taught in the bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

Yahuah (יהוה) (The LORD) — The Father

We believe in one Elohiym (God), Yahuah (the LORD), Creator of heaven and earth, eternal, holy, righteous, and sovereign.
We believe Yahuah eternally exists as:
•The Father
•The Son, Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah) (Jesus the Messiah) (Jesus, the Messiah)
•The Ruach Ha’Qodesh (The set apart Holy Spirit) (Holy Spirit)
Each is distinct yet perfectly united in essence, purpose, and glory.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5-6; Matthew 3:16-17

Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus the Messiah) — The Son

We believe Yahusha (Jesus) is the only begotten Son of Yahuah (the LORD). He was: Conceived by the Ruach Ha’Qodesh (The set apart Holy Spirit). Born of a virgin. Sinless in life and perfect in obedience. Crucified, died, and was buried. Raised bodily from the dead. Ascended to the right hand of Yahuah. Returning in power and glory as King
Through Him alone come forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life.
Scripture: John 3:16; Romans 10:9; Acts 1:9-11; John 14:6

The Ruach Ha’Qodesh (The Holy Spirit)

We believe the Ruach Ha’Qodesh (The set apart Holy Spirit) is fully Elohiym (God), active in the world and in believers today.
He: Convicts of sin. Brings new birth. Indwells believers permanently. Empowers for holy living and witness. Distributes spiritual gifts. Produces spiritual fruit
Scripture: John 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22-23

The Scriptures

We believe the 66 books of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, are the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of Yahuah (the LORD).
We receive both the Tanakh (Old Covenant) and the Brit Chadashah (New Covenant) as one unified revelation of Yahuah’s redemptive plan through Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus, the Messiah). Scripture is our final authority for doctrine, correction, instruction, and righteous living.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalm 119:89

Salvation

We believe all people have sinned and need redemption.
Salvation is the gift of grace through faith in Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus, the Messiah), received through repentance and new birth by the Ruach Ha’Qodesh (The set apart Holy Spirit).
True salvation produces obedience, transformation, and fruit.
Scripture: Romans 3:23-24; John 3:3-7; Ephesians 2:8-9

The Ekklesia (Assembly/church)

The Ekklesia (Assembly/Church) is the visibile Body of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus, the Messiah), composed of all who are born of the Ruach Ha’Qodesh (The set apart/Holy Spirit) sent into the world to glorify Yahuah (The LORD). We are called to worship, to discipleship, to unity, to service, and to love. We welcome all nations who seek Yahuah through Messiah.
Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-6; Matthew 28:19-20

Yashar’el (Israel) and the Nations

We believe Yahuah’s covenant with Yashar’el (Israel) remains everlasting. We believe the nations are grafted in through faith in Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus, the Messiah), sharing in the promises of redemption.
Scripture: Romans 11:17-26; Genesis 17:7

Ordinances

We practice:
•Water baptism by immersion
•The Memorial Meal (Communion / Pesach Remembrance)
These testify to faith but do not secure salvation.
Scripture: Matthew 28:19; Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

The Moedim (Appointed Times)

We honor the appointed times of Yahuah outlined in Leviticus 23.
We believe these moedim reveal the Messiah and foreshadow His redemptive work. We do not treat observance as a requirement for salvation and uphold liberty of conscience and unity in the Body.
Scripture: Leviticus 23; Colossians 2:16-17

Healing, Provision, and Generosity

We believe healing and restoration flow from the finished work of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus, the Messiah). We honor Yahuah through tithes, offerings, generosity, and care for the vulnerable.
Scripture: Isaiah 53:4-5; James 5:14-16; 2 Corinthians 9:7

The End of Days

We believe in:
•The literal return of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus, the Messiah)
•The resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous
•Eternal life for the redeemed
•Eternal separation for those who reject the Messiah
Scripture: John 5:28-29; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5

Marriage, Family, and Life

We believe human life is sacred from the womb to natural death.
We affirm marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman.
Families are called to nurture faith and model righteousness.
Scripture: Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 5:25-32

Torah, Obedience, and Covenant Life

We believe the Torah reveals Yahuah’s standards for holy living and points to Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus, the Messiah), who perfectly fulfilled them. We do not obey to earn salvation, but as a response of love and gratitude.
Scripture: Psalm 19:7; John 14:15; Romans 3:31

MISSION MINDED

We proclaim the Besorah (Good News) of Yahusha Ha’Mashiach (Jesus, the Messiah), make disciples, and demonstrate the Kingdom of Yahuah through love, truth, compassion, justice, mercy, and humility.
Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20; Micah 6:8
