Summary Statement of Belief
Assembly of Yahweh, Cascade, Feb. 21, 2023
We believe in One Almighty Sovereign Creator Power, who is the Ever-living Life-force Essence [1] of the endless ever-existing Universe, and that He was revealed to the ancient Hebrews through the anointed prophets [2] of the Hebrew Bible. The Almighty is incorporeal, and He exists throughout his eternal universe. He is everywhere at all times. There are no almighty gods before Him or after Him in all of eternity, Isa. 43:10; 44:6; 44:8. Yahweh has always existed, Psalm 90:2. Yahweh is Set-apart, is Eternal, Isa. 57:15, and is Omnipotent, Jer. 32:17; 27, is Omnipresent, Psalm 139:7, is Omniscient; etc. He is Truth, Psalm 117:2; He is the only Creator, Isa. 40:12, 22, 26.
We believe the name of our One Almighty Sovereign (that He gave to Moses) is [אהיה [3 (AHYH). AHYH (using English letters) means I-am, but we are to say [יהוה [4 (YHWH) He-is. YHWH (transliterated using English letters) becomes YaH-WeH and means: He-is, He-exists, or Ever-living. Yahweh is the only ONE Almighty to whom we owe our reverence, prayer, and worship. We accept no other as our One Almighty Sovereign Creator.[5]
We believe that Yahweh, by His mercy, forgives the sins of those who with sincere repentance [6] accept Him as their only Redeemer and Savior. For their thankfulness the saved will strive to observe Yahweh’s Covenant (the 10 Commandments) and will do the will their Father Yahweh. [7] Yahshua (aka Jesus) calls all those that do the will of the Father Yahweh his brother, sister, and mother.[8] Like Yahshua is a son of the Almighty Sovereign Creator Father Yahweh, all believers are likewise the sons and daughters of the same heavenly Father; therefore they together are all members of the same heavenly household as Yahshua (aka) Jesus.
We believe that the promise of eternal life is given to all believers that become members of Yahweh’s heavenly household, because they strive to do what Yahweh requires of them, for what is good; by doing justly; to love mercy, and continue to walk humbly with their Almighty Yahweh, [9] the Almighty Sovereign Creator Eternal Life-force Essence of all that is, or will ever be.
We believe in the precepts and principles of Torah [10] as was also taught by the Prophet Yahshua [11] (Jesus) according to his statements where recorded in the Synoptic Gospels [12] of the Greek New Testament. Torah instructions are similar to what a father would provide to guide his children during life. We believe that the Covenant (the 10 Commandments) [13] is applicable for all believers but not the man made sacrificial laws.[14] The New Testament is a collection of opinions, conjecture, and hearsay, much of it by unknown authors compiled over many years after the fact. Only some historical events about the prophet Yahshua are believable, as well as some of his sayings and his teachings when they follow the precepts of the Hebrew Bible.
We believe Yahshua (Jesus) of the NT was a natural born Israelite, an anointed prophet sent to the Lost tribes of First Century of Israel [15] to preach repentance before Yahweh and to baptize; to announce the Gospel news - that the Kingdom (council) of Yahweh/of heaven had come, and was available for them as it is for us today to dwell within all true believers.[17] Yahshua was not, and is not Yahweh, and was not a sacrifice to please Yahweh so He could forgive sins.
We believe Yahshua’s Mission was to free First Century Israelites from the religious traditions and man made oral laws that had enslaved them; and to turn the people back toward their One Original Almighty Sovereign named Yahweh; [18] for them to only seek His counsel for their lives. This angered the local authorities and became a constant threat to the religious rulers of his day, over time this eventually resulted in his execution by Roman officials for sedition. [19]
We believe that Yahshua was resurrected from the dead by Yahweh (according to the Gospels) and subsequently ascended into heaven because he was faithful to his mission. We do not believe the Bible teaches in a future second coming of Yahshua, but that the second coming of Yahshua has already occurred. We believe this because the New Testament records - that some of those hearing him speak at that time in history would still be alive to see him come into his kingdom. [20]
We believe there is one global collective set-apart Universal Assembly of all True Believers. We believe in the gathering together of home groups and/or assemblies for worship, for fellowship, for communication on weekly appointed times, and to observe the seventh day for rest. [21] We try to keep to the Biblical food laws for our health, since the Bible tells us what we should not eat. Awmane

[12] Synoptic Gospels - are the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke that tell the story of the mission of Yahshua, about his life, and quote him from a similar point of view, and are similar in structure. This is likely because all three unknown authors built their gospel using a common source. Matthew and Luke may have used materials not available to early Mark. We do not give any reliable credit to the 2nd century Gospel called John that has falsely spiritualized Jesus into a god-man. In the Synoptic Gospels Yahshua referred to himself as the son of man. [13] Deut 5: 2-22; also Exodus 20: 1-17. [14] Jeremiah 7:21-23. Isa 1:11-16.
