· G-d exists.

· G-d is one and unique.

· G-d is incorporeal (not physical).

· G-d is eternal, past, present, and future.

· Prayer is to be directed to G-d alone and to no other.

· The words of the prophets are true.

· Moses' prophecies are true, and Moses was the greatest of the prophets.

· The Written Torah (first 5 books of the Bible) and Oral Torah  (teachings in the Talmud and other                writings)

· Like the Kabala, the Oral Torah  usurps the written Torah.

· There will be no other Torah.

· G-d knows the thoughts and deeds of men.

· G-d will reward the good and punish the wicked.

· The Messiah will someday come.

· The dead will be resurrected .

· YHWH – is the Hebrew name of the Creator, the Original Originator. YHWH in English is “Yahweh.”

· YHWH is incorporeal (not physical), He is the Life-Force Essence that fills all of His Creation.

· YHWH is Ever-Living, who has always existed in the past, the present, and will be in the future.

· Prayer is to be directed only to YHWH (as the Creator) and to no other Powers or Mighty One(s).

· The words of prophets, when meeting the test, are reliable and proven according to the Hebrew Bible.

· Yahshua (aka Jesus) of the New Testament was a teacher/a prophet to First Century Israel. He is not divine.

· The Bible (Hebrew or Greek) is not inerrant and not all the words or books in it are inspired by YHWH.

· YHWH knows the thoughts and deeds of men; is always in control of Creation; there are no fallen angels.

· The Covenant (the 10 Commandments) is an agreement with YHWH and all those who accept and keep it.

· Torah is Law. The Torah principles apply. There is no “man-made oral Torah” or authority.

· The “Renewed” Covenant comes to dwell within the heart of all true believers who accept it and YHWH.

· Personal salvation is by the mercy of YHWH upon a sincere repentance and belief in Him.

· YHWH gives eternal life to Covenant keepers; all those who live righteously and strive to do his will.

· The souls of the wicked perish at death (there is no eternal hell). The souls of the righteous live forever.
