-About
Us-
OUR
PURPOSE
In
obedience to Yahweh’s command to assemble
ourselves together to worship, Mayim Hayim Beit Midrash
seeks to
provide a venue for all believers in Messiah Yahshua to
worship in Spirit and Truth. We seek to provide a place
of study, fellowship, encouragement and support for the
Believer seeking to “Come out of Babylon”.
We understand that returning to the Ancient Paths of the
Scriptures often results in rejection by family and friends
who do not understand at this time. We offer refuge and
support as the extended family of Yahweh. The family function
is given by Yahweh as an example of His relationship desires
with His creation and thus is a vital aspect of our congregation.
We seek to provide for the entire family as we grow together
in knowledge and wisdom.
Yahweh has called us to be in unity with Him and those
that respond to His call upon their lives, the remnant
of all Israel. We are to separate ourselves from the things
of this world as we offer ourselves as living sacrifices
to Yahweh alone.
OUR
VISION
We
see Mayim Hayim Beit Midrash reaching out to a
hurting world.
We encourage the believer seeking a closer relationship
with Yahweh to go back to the beginning. Start with the
foundation and let Him help you build a relationship with
Himself.
We see a congregation of believers prepared to be used
as Torah Teachers in a troubled world.
We are a congregation in training.
ABOUT
YAHWEH
We
believe in the one Elohim, the Creator of heaven
and earth whose name is YAHWEH, Hear O Israel,
Yahweh our
Elohim, Yahweh is One (Deut. 6:4). We believe that
the only true eternal personal Names of the Father
and the
Son are Yahweh-Yahveh and the Son Yahshua, Yeshua or
Yahshua. While the spelling is not important, the
usage is.
ABOUT
YAHSHUA
We
believe that Yahshua is the son of Yahweh, the
Messiah, the Eternal One in Whom all the fullness
of deity dwells
in bodily form; He is the Word who became flesh and
dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory
of the uniquely
begotten Son of Yahweh, full of Chesed (Grace) and
Truth. (John 1:1-14, Col. 2:9)
We believe in the Deity of Yahshua, that Yahweh and His
Moshiach/Savior are both Yahweh (Col 2:9).
We believe -
a that He was born of a virgin (Isa 9:6, Isa 7:14, Matt
1:18-25);
b in His sinless life (Isa 53, II Cor 5:21),
c in His miracles (Matt 4:23-25),
d in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood
(Isa 53, Dan 9:24-27, Rom 3:21-31, Heb 9 and 10),
e in His bodily resurrection (Zech 12:10, Zech 15, Matt
28),
f and in His personal return in power and glory (Dan 7:9-14.
Matt 26: 57-64, Rev 1:1-18).
We believe that Yahshua is the Way, the Truth and the
Life; and that no one comes to the Father (YAHWEH), except
through Him (John 14:6, 6:19, 40, 44, I John 5:11).
ABOUT
THE RUACH HAKODESH
We
believe that the Ruach Ha Kodesh indwells all true
believers to lead, guide, teach, comfort,
and empower
us to live
a righteous life (Jn. 14:26, 2 Tim 1:7, 1 Cor 4:26).
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire is a gift from
YAHWEH promised by Yahshua to all Believers and is
received subsequent to the New Birth. (Matt 3:11,
John 14:16-17,
Acts 2:38-39). We believe in the operation of all gifts
of the Spirit as enumerated in YAHWEH’s Word.
We embrace all the ministry of the Ruach Ha Kodesh
(Holy Spirit)
ABOUT
THE SCRIPTURES
We
believe that the Torah (five books of Moses) is
a comprehensive summary of YAHWEH’s foundational
commandments and instructions, as found in the
Scripture Covenants. (Ex
19 and 20, Deut 5, Jer 31:31-34. Heb 8:10, Matt 5:17-19).
Obedience to the commands of Torah are required of
all believers, not for salvation but for relationship
with
Yahweh and our fellow man.
Messiah Yahshua
said, “If you love Me, keep my commandments”.
We believe that the Scriptures consisting of Torah, Prophets
and Writings (Tanakh) and the ReNewed Covenant are the
only Inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of YAHWEH
in their original translation. (II Tim. 3:16, I Thess.
2:13, II Peter 1:21).
We believe that Moshiach Yahshua taught all His true followers
both Jew and non-Jew that all the precepts of written Torah
are eternally binding. Moshiach Yahshua, never ever negated
Torah, and expects and commands us to follow Torah (Matthew-Mattityahu
5:17-19), so as to continually express and renew our love
for Him by our obedience.
ABOUT
SALVATION
We
believe that "all have sinned and come short of
the glory of YAHWEH" Rom 3:23.
Yahshua, the Messiah, the Son of YAHWEH, was manifested
to undo the work of Satan, gave His life, and shed His
blood to redeem and restore man back to YAHWEH. (Rom 5:14,
Rom 3:10, Rom 3:23, I John 3:8). This is fulfillment of
the covenant He made with Abraham. (Gen 15:7-21)
Salvation is a gift of YAHWEH to man, separate from works
and the Torah, and is made operative by Grace through faith
in Yahshua, producing works acceptable to YAHWEH.
One may not earn, merit or keep this eternal salvation
by his own efforts.
A new creation is the work of Yahweh alone. (Eph 2:8-9,
Rom 5 and 6).
ABOUT
THE RESURRECTION
We
believe in the resurrection of both the saved and
unsaved. The redeemed to everlasting joy in the presence
of YAHWEH
and the lost to eternal damnation and separation form
YAHWEH.
ABOUT
THE TWO HOUSES OF ISRAEL
We
believe that through the two-house restoration, both
houses of Israel are having their blinders removed.
Judah-Yahudah
needs Moshiach and Ephraim-Yisrael needs Torah and their
identity as Yisrael’s other house
restored. Isaiah 8:14.
We believe
that all believers in Moshiach Yahshua are physical and
spiritual Yisrael, regardless of whether they
come from Judah-Yahudah, Ephraim-Yisrael (10 tribes) or
have no Yisraelite blood but have joined Yisrael’s
Commonwealth through submission to Yisrael’s King
the Moshiach Yahshua.
Thus the eklessia / kahal is Yisrael restored. Ephesians
2:11-19
