Alef - Tav Messianic Fellowship


    We Believe...

…that the Scriptures (Tenakh and Brit Hadasha) are the infallible, inerrant Word of YHVH.

Our God is One, but manifested in three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, being coequal (Deut. 6:4; Phil. 2:6). God the Father is greater than all; the Sender of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter (John 14:28; John 16:28; John 1:14). The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning, the image of the invisible God (John 1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14, Col.1:15). The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 14:16; John 15:26).

…that Yeshua is YHVH manifested in the flesh and He is the image of the invisible God. All things were created by Yeshua and without Him nothing was created. (Col. 1:15-20)

...that Yeshua was born of a virgin, was crucified for our transgressions, rose from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven and is coming back again, all according to the scripture.

...Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the Law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Yeshua, producing works acceptable to God (Eph. 2:8–10). Yeshua's sacrifice on the cross brings us salvation (Acts 4:12) and that only by the shedding of innocent blood is there remission of sins. The law has never redeemed, only YHVH's grace. (Gal. 3:24-26)

...that the Torah (teachings and instructions of YHVH) is written on our hearts and is valid for living a life of holiness (Romans 3:31, Jeremiah. 31:31, Hebrews 8:8). The Scripture teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in that sanctification is a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation at Christ’s return (Heb. 12:14; 1 Thess. 5:23; 2 Peter 3:18; 2 Cor. 3:18; Phil. 3:12–14; 1 Cor. 1:30).

...that the Holy Spirit has been given to all believers to help us in our weaknesses and to cause us to walk in YHVH's statues and heed His ordinances (Ezek. 36:26-27, Romans 8:1-16,26).

...that the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by Yeshua HaMashiach to all believers and is received subsequent to the new birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (Matt. 3:11; John 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:1–7; Acts 2:1–4).

...that the Holy Spirit brings gifts to men and to each believer is given the manifestation of the Holy Spirit for the common good. (I Cor. 12:1-11)

...that Brit Hadasha (renewed covenant) is with the House of Judah and the House of Israel and their companions and that both houses are made one in the hand of YHVH. (Ezek. 37:15-28, Hebrews 8:8, Jeremiah 31:31)

...in celebrating the Feasts of YHVH (the appointed times). (Leviticus 23)

...that the weekly Feast of the the Sabbath is the 7th day and that it has never changed from the beginning. (Genesis 2: 2-3, Exodus. 20:8:11, Isaiah 56 :2 - 7)

...that in major doctrines there must be unity, in minor doctrines there must be liberty, and in all things there must be love.

Yeshua haMashiach Adonai
