What We Don't Believe

False Teachings

Because of the vast errors that are present, we have chosen to steer clear of these doctrinal errors.

Replacement Theology

Replacement Theology states the Church has replaced Israel.

Dual Covenant Theology

Dual Covenant Theology claims there are different paths of salvation for Jews and Gentiles.

Calvinistic Theology

Calvinistic Theology teaches once you are saved you are always saved. The Bible makes it clear that one can lose his/her salvation if he/she turns their back on God and does not repent of their sins. Faith without works is dead therefore faith requires an ongoing relationship with Jesus in obedience to His Word.

KJV-Only Theology

KJV-Only Theology dictates the superiority of the King James Version of the Bible over all other versions, even over the original Hebrew and Greek texts. We primarily use NKJV for reading in English, but acknowledge that most translations convey a majority of Truth. We believe in the importance of studying the Bible in its original languages.

Anti-Pauline Theology

Anti-Pauline Theology declares Paul's teaching is contrary to that of Jesus and therefore Paul's doctrines and his Epistles should be rejected.

Two-House Theology/British Israelism

We do NOT believe in Two-House Theology/British Israelism -the belief that virtually all non-Jewish believers in Yeshua are physical descendants of the Lost tribes of Israel. People who subscribe to this belief system are more concerned about highlighting their presumed physical lineage to Israel than they are about highlighting the grace of our Lord Jesus. This ideology is nothing more than a hybrid form of Replacement Theolog, and no doubt is of great concern to our Jewish brethren (both believing and non-believing). One of the great tragedies of this belief system is that it completely overlooks the reality of all the prophecies contained in the Tanakh which talk about the miraculous work that God would do with the Gentiles in calling them into the faith. Thus, this Two-House Theology completely negates the blessed truth of Scripture. It is a very perverse, destructive, and deceptive theology to both the Jew and the Gentile.

Renewed Covenant Theology

We do NOT believe in Renewed Covenant Theology - which believes the New Covenant isn't new but rather a mere reboot of the Old. Although proponents of this ideology attempt to confirm the validity of the Torah, they do so at the expense of Scripture itself. Jeremiah 31 clearly tells us that God would implement a New Covenant NOT LIKE the Old Covenant which He made with their fathers at Mount Sinai. This would be something completely different which would be built upon better promises. God instituted a new priesthood, a new mediator, a new sacrificial system, and a new location for the law of God (the Holy Spirit inscribing God's Law upon our hearts). It is important to note that those who subscribed to a renewed Covenant theology typically believe that the Aaronic priesthood is still in effect and that the sin sacrifices will be required yet once again; both of which are NOT true. The Bible makes it clear, the priesthood has been changed (Jesus is our High Priest forever) and the Sacrificial system has been changed (Jesus being the One sacrifice for sins forever. Never again will we need to offer sacrifices for sin). And we do have a new Mediator (Jesus, the Prophet like unto Moses).
