Covenants Of Promise Ministries

This page is provided as a basis of reference only. There is a danger, when seeing a "statement of beliefs," for some people to come to the erroneous conclusion that anything not mentioned in that statement of beliefs is either not accepted or counted of little value. And, in some churches and organizations, people sometimes come to see their statement of beliefs as being on an equal footing - or even above - the Scriptures. On the other hand, without some frame of reference, people are left without anything to compare against.

To put it simply, our beliefs are embodied in the whole of the Old and Renewed Covenant Scriptures and were exemplified by the life of Messiah. The following is merely a guide of some of the major points. Also, we do not claim to know all of the Truth. We are open at all times to fresh revelation from our Heavenly Father. We encourage all who seek the Truth to prove all things, holding fast that which is good. (I Thess. 5:21)

We've included a few Scripture references for these core beliefs. Bear in mind that the references cited are only a sample of some of the relevant verses - each subject is a study of its own. To that end, we've also included links to studies put together by like-minded believers. Links to external sites should in no way be seen, necessarily, as an endorsement of ALL of that site's beliefs. Again, be a faithful Berean and "search the Scriptures daily, whether these things (are) so." (Acts 17:11)

That our heavenly Father has a Name - YHWH (Yahweh), and that He desires that we use It - in reverence. (Exod. 3:15 , 20:7 ; Isa. 42:8 ; Mal. 2:2 ; Psa. 68:4)

That He sent His Son to earth to redeem mankind and provide the opportunity for eternal life.  (John 3:16)

That Yahweh's Son, the Messiah, was born of Hebrews and has a Hebrew name, Yahshua, not the Greek "Ieosus" nor the Anglo-Latinized "Jesus."

That Yahweh was, in all His fullness in Yahshua, reconciling the world unto Himself.  (II Cor. 5:19)

That He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, was tortured and executed, and that His death made atonement, once and for all time, for the sins of all mankind.  (Hebr. 10:10; Isa. 52:15, 53:6, 10, 12)

That the Spirit is the creative power - the manifestation - of YHWH. (Gen. 1:1-2, Acts 2:1-4)

Upon hearing the truth and believing (living the Way of the truth) you then are sealed with the Set Apart Spirit of YHWH unto the day of deliverance. (Eph. 1:13 Eph. 4:30)

That the Scriptures - both Old and Renewed Covenants - are the inspired Word of the Father, and that they are the ultimate authority on all doctrinal issues.  (II Tim. 3:16)

That Scripture CANNOT contradict Scripture - rather, plain and unambiguous Scriptures must be used to interpret those Scriptures which do appear vague or contradictory.  ( I Jo. 2:21; II Pet. 3:16)

That salvation is available to all through the atonement of Yahshua of Nazareth - and through Him only. (Acts 4:12; Rom. 10:13)

That salvation and eternal life are Yahweh's free gift to all who are willing to accept it and its
covenant terms.   (Rom. 6:23)

That YHWH has given us His laws for our good.  (Deut. 6:24; Rom. 7:12, 16, 21-22; I Tim. 1:8)

That YHWH's law is eternal and that Yahshua did NOT come to destroy or "do away" with it, but to FULFILL it (fill to the full or to overflowing).  (Matt. 5:17-18, Rev. 12:17, 14:12)

That we demonstrate our love for YHWH through our obedience to His laws and precepts.  (John 14:15, 21, 23-24; I John 2:3)

That we should therefore keep and obey the Laws and ordinances laid down by YHWH, including observance of:

The seventh day Sabbath  (Gen. 2:3; Exod. 20:8-11; Hebr. 4:9; Isa. 66:23)

The annual "Feast Days of YHWH" (Lev. 23; I Cor. 5:7-8 ; Acts 2; Zech. 14:16-19)

"Clean and unclean" foods

That sin is the trangression of YHWH's eternal law.   (I John 3:4)

That ALL have sinned and fallen short of Yahweh's expectations. (Rom. 3:23)

That sin separates us from Elohim. (Isa. 59:2)

That the penalty of sin is death, but that we have redemption through Yahshua. (Rom. 6:23)
