[12] Core Beliefs — Messiah’s Way

Discover the true and final authority of the Holy Spirit in these core beliefs: One God, the role of Joshua \JAHshuA\ our salvation, and the coming resurrection and judgement—world without end.

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12, KJV)

"But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4, KJV)

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16, KJV)

One God

[1] There is one eternal God, the LORD over all things, both visible and invisible. He is the Father of our Messiah—JAHshuA. The Father is unchanging, perfect in love, holiness, power, and wisdom. He remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.

"But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." (1 Corinthians 8:6, KJV)

"Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." (Ephesians 3:21, KJV)

High Priest and Lamb, Joshua \JAHshuA\ (Jesus)

[2] Joshua is the Son of God—our Messiah, he was reigning from the beginning hidden as the Word of God—the eternal High Priest. His name, JAHshuA, was given to Hoshea by Moses and means “JAH is salvation" similiar to Elijah meaning "My God is JAH." No one can come to God except through the redemption and new birth provided by His Son, and this has been true since the Old Testament, as Joshua reigned as the Lord under the LORD.

"And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God." (Revelation 19:13, KJV)

"And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ." (Ephesians 3:9, KJV)

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him." (Colossians 1:16, KJV)

"Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him." (Psalm 68:4, KJV)

"Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken." (John 10:34-35, KJV)

"The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." (Psalm 110:1, KJV)

Mankind

[3] Men and women were created by the Son of God and given dominion over the physical world, just as Joshua was given authority over the spiritual realm from the beginning. We were made for His glory and entrusted with the care of creation.

"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." (Genesis 1:28, KJV)

"And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking." (Mark 8:24, KJV)

"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass." (Isaiah 40:7, KJV)

The Fallen

[4] Through Adam and Eve’s disobedience, humanity lost its fellowship with God, introducing sin and brokenness into the world. This was part of God’s greater plan, offering the opportunity for new birth through free will. Just as the serpent deceived mankind in the Garden of Eden, a false church emerged in the 4th century, spreading heresy and opposing God’s truth. Many congregations continue to follow these misguided teachings. We should pray for them, asking that wisdom and truth be revealed to them.

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." (1 Timothy 4:1, KJV)

"Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever." (Jude 1:13, KJV)

Salvation

[5] Joshua came to restore our relationship with God. He died for our sins and was resurrected to sit at God’s right hand. Salvation is a free gift, not earned by good deeds, available to all mankind. Through repentance and turning to God’s salvation, we receive forgiveness and eternal life. The Patriarchs looked forward to Joshua’s salvation, which occurred in 33 AD during the 4th year of the 202nd Olympiad; we look back to it.

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12, KJV)

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (John 3:16-17, KJV)

Baptism & New Birth

[6] Baptism is a public declaration of faith, symbolizing the death, burial, and resurrection of Joshua in our lives. Water baptism should be followed or accompanied by the baptism of fire, when Joshua touches your life.

"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5, KJV)

Spiritual Gifts & Glossolalia

[7] God grants spiritual gifts through the Holy Spirit to strengthen and build up His people. These gifts are used to spread the truth of the Gospel, and signs such as glossolalia (speaking in tongues) will follow true believers.

"But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues." (1 Corinthians 12:7-10, KJV)

The Church—Ekklesia

[8] The Church is made up of all believers in JAHshuA. Joshua is the head of the Church and leads us in worshiping the Father. We are united as one body, with the Spirit of God living within us, and called to carry out Joshua’s mission of spreading His message of forgiveness and salvation.

"And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." (Ephesians 1:22-23, KJV)

The Harvest—Reaping

[9] The Church will be taken from the earth as Mystery Babylon the Great (believed to be America) is destroyed. The Bride of Christ will meet Joshua in the sky at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, uniting with those who have gone before to meet the Father.

"And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe." (Revelation 14:15, KJV)

The Millennium Reign

[10] King JAHshuA will return to establish His Kingdom after the 42-month reign of the beast in Jerusalem, the city where our Lord was crucified. Two witnesses will confront the adversary as the fallen one deceives many by pretending to be a god. During this time, Joshua will protect 144,000 true Hebrew descendants of the House of Jacob (Israel) in the wilderness.

"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." (Revelation 20:4, KJV)

"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." (Jude 1:14-15, KJV)

"But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end." (Isaiah 45:17, KJV)

Resurrection & Judgement

[11] After the 1000 years of peace, Satan will be loosed, leading to a Great War. The Father will destroy the enemy, and the earth and heavens will be consumed. The dead will rise, some to life, and others to blackness of nothingness, the wages of sin openly seen by all. This will be the final judgment of the dead, followed by the revelation of a new world, where all things will be made new, and the Sons of God will be revealed.

"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." (Daniel 12:2, KJV)

"These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever." (2 Peter 2:17, KJV)

"For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been." (Obadiah 1:16, KJV)

New World Order

[12] God himself will live on a renewed earth forever with his entire family. His Son will be the King and heir of God and many shall be made white and stand with the Son of God in power and majesty.

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." (Revelation 21:1, KJV)

"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." (Revelation 21:3-4, KJV)

"For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." (Isaiah 65:17, KJV)

"Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power." (1 Corinthians 15:24, KJV)

"For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren." (Hebrews 2:11, KJV)
