G-d's Word for the sake of the entire Kingdom of G-d,

instituted for all believers as long as it stands,
according to the determination of the Most High G-d.
Statement of Doctrinal Faith (Provided for information.
Students do NOT have to accept all our tenets.)
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: YHVH [the L-RD] is our Elohim.
He is One YHVH. He alone is YHVH. Deuteronomy 6:4.
3. The nature of YHVH 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. YHVH 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 YHVH, 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 Natzeret is the Messiah of Israel, the
Savior of the world, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
He is YHVH 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 YHVH through Him, and therefore become
inheritors of all the promises YHVH made with Abraham and
Israel. 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 YHVH 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 YHVH 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 YHVH 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.
Leviticus 23, Matthew 16:18.
11. The goals of the people of YHVH 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 Divine plan for Israel 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.
