1. God
There is one God, who exists eternally in three distinct but equal persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is unchangeable in His holiness, justice, wisdom, and love. He is the almighty Creator; Saviour and Judge who sustains and governs all things according to his sovereign will for his own glory.
2. The Bible
God has revealed Himself in the Bible, which consists of Torah, History, 'wisdom literature' with the prophets, Gospels, letters and Revelation. (Old and New Testaments) Every word was inspired by God through human authors filled with the Holy Spirit, so that the Bible as originally given is in its entirety the Word of God, The Bible alone speaks with final authority and is always sufficient for all matters of belief and practice.
3. The Human Race
All men and women, being created in the image of God, have inherent and equal dignity and worth. Their greatest purpose is to obey, worship, and love God. As a result of the fall of our first parents Adam and Eve. Every aspect of human nature has been corrupted and all men and women are without spiritual life, guilty sinners, and hostile to God. Every person is therefore under the just condemnation of God and needs to be born again, forgiven, and reconciled to God in order to know and please him and gain citizenship in the kingdom.
4. The Lord Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, and lived a sinless life in obedience to the Father. He taught with authority and all his words are true. On the cross he died in the place of sinners, bearing God’s punishment for their sin, redeeming them by his blood. He rose from the dead and in his resurrection body ascended into heaven where he is exalted as Lord of all. He intercedes for His people in the presence of the Father.
5. Salvation
Salvation is entirely a work of God’s grace and cannot be earned or deserved. It has been accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ and is offered to all in the gospel. God in His love forgives sinners whom he calls, granting them repentance and faith. All who believe in Christ are justified by faith alone, adopted into the family of God, and receive eternal life.
6. The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit has been sent from heaven to glorify Christ and to apply his work of salvation. He convicts sinners, imparts spiritual life, and gives a true understanding of the Scriptures. He indwells all believers, brings assurance of salvation, and produces increasing likeness to Christ. He builds up the Church and empowers its members for worship, service, and mission. We believe in the gifts of the spirit, The gifts of the Spirit are gifts of grace granted by the Holy Spirit that are designed for the edification of the church, which can be divided up as gifts of speaking and gifts of serving.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.
The bible says that “all may prophesy,” not just the prophets (see 1 Corinthians 14:31). It also instructs all believers are to “do the work of an evangelist,” not just those with the gift of evangelism (see 2 Timothy 4:5). In the same way, the Bible teaches that all believers have authority over sickness and disease in Jesus Christ!
7. The Church
The universal Church (we the people) is the body of Christ to which all who are saved belong. It is made visible in local churches, which are congregations of believers who are committed to each other for the worship of God, the preaching of the Word, teaching Torah and a Chronological Order gospel timeline regarding the life of Jesus Christ. We observe the LORD'S feasts, while rejecting the traditional pagan practice designed by men.
8. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper
The Bible provides several accounts of communion's institution. The earliest reference is found in Genesis 14:18
Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. Melchizedek is described as bringing out "bread and wine" to bless Abram after Abram returned from victorious battle; this act is significant because it is seen as foreshadowing the communion 'body and blood' as described in the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus instructs his disciples to "take, eat; this is my body" and "drink from it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant" Matthew 26:26-29
The apostle Paul also describes the significance of communion in his first letter in 1 Corinthians 11:23-25.
The Lord’s Table is in no sense a sacrifice for sin and involves no change in the substance of the bread and wine.
Baptism is the total immersion in water, in the Triune Name of God, of those who have professed repentance toward God, and have placed their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and have received the Holy Spirit.
9. The Sabbath
“So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read” (Luke 4:16). In the days of Christ we see that the sabbath was kept. Acts 13:42-44
So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.
For 2000 years the enemy has twisted the word of God by changing 'times and laws' as in Daniel 7:25 "He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time."
Unfortunately the tradition of men have twisted the word of God which has been passed down the generations.
”Jeremiah 16:19 "O Lord, my strength and my fortress, My refuge in the day of affliction, The Gentiles shall come to You From the ends of the earth and say,
“Surely our fathers have inherited lies, Worthlessness and unprofitable things.”
Jesus did not come to destroy the Torah. “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled” (Matthew 5:17-18). and the scripture continues to state; Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
The Apostle Paul (A Pharisee) understood Torah, yet acknowledged the New Covenant in Jesus, and often spoke highly regarding the law.
The apostle Paul states: Romans 7:22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.
In Colossians 2:16-17, the apostle Paul declares, “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come and Romans 14:5 states, “One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.” These Scriptures make it clear that, for the believer, Sabbath-keeping is a matter of spiritual freedom and knowing the difference between God's way over tradition of men. Sabbath-keeping is an issue on which God’s Word instructs us not to judge each other. Sabbath-keeping is a matter about which each believer needs to be fully convinced in his/her own mind.
Boi Kallah acknowledges that Paul was confronting a heresy. False teachers had infiltrated the congregation in Colossae. These deceivers had influenced the Colossian believers by introducing their own religious philosophy. This prompted Paul to warn the Colossians, "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit according to the tradition of men" (Colossians 2:8). Humanly devised tradition—not the revealed instructions of God's Word in the Bible—was the problem Paul was countering. Earlier Jesus had taken the Pharisees to task over the same kind of problem. They also had elevated their traditions to greater importance than God's commandments (Mark 7:8-9, 13).
Paul advised the Colossians to focus on Christ as the head of the Church (Colossians 1:18; Colossians 2:10, 19). But these false teachers were trying to persuade them to direct their worship toward angels (Colossians 2:18) and neglect their own bodies (verse 23). No such distorted ideas are taught anywhere in the Scriptures.
Paul characterised the Colossian heresy as "empty deceit" and "the basic principles of the world" (verse 8). The deceivers were persuading the Colossians to ignore plain biblical instruction in favour of "traditions of men." and today we have many false teachings in church buildings stating Jesus 'done away' with Torah.
Boi Kallah rejects traditions such as Christmas and Easter, as they are designed to replace the LORD's feasts.
God's festivals are times for joy and celebration. He commands us to attend them and rejoice with our children—our entire family (Deuteronomy 12:5, 7; 14:26). He wants us to delight in them. No wonder Paul condemns the misguided ascetic philosophy of the Colossian heretics with such vigor. Paul was defending the believer' right to enjoy feasting at God's holy festivals.
Boi Kallah does NOT reject fellowship on the first day of the week (Sunday) we reject the Sunday being labelled as 'The Lord's Day' a tradition taught by Justin Martyr (A once pagan from the city of Shechem in Samaria, from a culture of anti-Semitism to becoming a born-again believer) a man distancing himself and his followers from Judaism. Later Sunday was established by Roman Emperor Constantine and by the Council of Laodicea to declare Sunday as the new day of rest. During the Protestant Reformation, the church carried across the same tradition, a lie inherited to the modern believers congregation today.
