Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations
Doctrinal Statement
1. We believe the Bible is the
inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of G-d.
2. We believe that there is
one G-d, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of
the L-RD Yeshua, the Messiah, and His virgin birth, in His sinless life,
in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed
blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of
the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for the
salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is
absolutely essential.
5. We believe in the present
ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to
live a godly life.
6. We believe in the
resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the
resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of
damnation.
7. We believe in the spiritual
unity of all believers in the L-RD Yeshua, the Messiah.
8. We believe in the process
of discipline and conflict resolution taught in Matthew 18:15ff, as
applicable to all congregants and leaders.
9. As Jewish followers of
Yeshua, we are called to maintain our Jewish biblical heritage and remain
a part of our people Israel and the universal body of believers. This is
part of our identity and a witness to the faithfulness of G-d.
