One New Man on Mission

The Gospel of the Kingdom: Children & Citizens

We affirm that the Gospel is the declaration of the sovereign rule of God through the Divine Son of God and Son of Man, the Messiah Yeshua. It is the covenantal and spiritual invitation to renounce the kingdom of darkness and enter the Kingdom of God and commonwealth of Israel, becoming partakers of the covenants (plural) of the promise (singular).

This is the fellowship of the mystery of the Gospel and ekklesia—the prophetic assembly of Israel in Messiah together with those called out from every nation to become a single, holy, and redeemed people.

This is the foundational standard for our community and local men’s group. We reject the “inherited lies” of carnal sectarianism and of Christ’s abolishing of the Law and affirm the prophetic fulfillment of the one, unified Body of Messiah; the Kingdom of God and Christ.

I. The Tevillah of Messiah (Water and Spirit)

We reject the lie of “symbol-only” baptism. We affirm the operation of God in the waters of Tevillah for the remission of sins and the transition to Kingdom citizenship (when accompanied by genuine repentance, faith, and confession). We affirm that the “New Birth” is a literal spiritual reality—being born of water and Spirit. (Ex. 24:8; Heb. 9:19-20; Lk. 24:47; Acts 2:37-39; 22:16; Col. 2:11-12; Gal. 3:26-27; Rom. 6:3-4)

• The New Birth: Being “born of water and spirit” is the only valid entry into the Kingdom. In the same way that Israel entered into covenant with the LORD at Sinai, we enter into the new covenant (b’rit chadasha) in Messiah Yeshua through the birth of both water and Spirit.
• The Operation of God: In baptism (Tevillah), the believer undergoes death to the old man and a resurrection to new life.
• Remission of Sins: In these waters, the past is cut off, and the believer is ritually and legally cleansed by the King.
• Circumcision of Messiah: This is the spiritual circumcision made without hands, which terminates the carnal identity and births the legitimate child of the Father.
• No Further Conversion: Once birthed by the Spirit, no man-made “Gerut” or religious certificate is required to validate one’s standing in the Covenant.

II. Salvation is Found “In Christ Alone”

• Repentance: We must admit and quit our sinning which is transgressing His Holy Torah.
• Faith: Believe the Gospel; that is, the good news of our ransom, rescue, regeneration, and reconciliation to God the Father through the redemption provided in Messiah, the Son.
• Confession: The Covenant of Words is generally directly connected to tevillah (baptism) it is likened to a betrothal and is a pledge of loyalty, a two becoming one, for we are made to be one Spirit with the Lord. We must confess both the person and work of Messiah. Who He is- the Divine Son of God and The Way He has made – a new and living way by means of His shed blood our sins may be remitted, and we may be reborn receiving the Holy Spirit of promise. He was delivered up for our offences and raised for our justification. He came to destroy the works of the devil, conquer death, and restore us to the righteousness of life. (Ex. 24:8; Acts 8:35-39)
• Tevillah (Baptism): Water Baptism is the divine means of remitting sins and effecting the “new creation” according to the scriptures; the command of Messiah Yeshua and His Apostles whom He appointed. It is the operation of God and our translation from darkness to light becoming children of the Kingdom and a member of the Bride of Messiah, His ekklesia.
• Abiding in Him: As we have received Messiah our Lord, we are commanded and soberly exhorted to walk in Him, abide in Him, endure, and be found a faithful steward at His coming. All of these with the sternest of warnings. These are real and genuine exhortations. The Apostle Paul himself held both confident assurance of His belonging to Messiah AND soberness in that he could in the end be regarded as a castaway and rejected if he permitted himself to be ensnared by the deceitfulness of sin or the pride of the adversary. Faithfulness to the end and finishing well is essential.

III. One Torah for One Bride & One Body

We reject “Distinction Theology” and the “Two-Tier” system that treats non-Jews as unclean and illegitimate children or “second-class” citizens. We also reject the error of both replacement and supercessionist teaching; Neither Israel or the Torah are replaced or superceded.

• Kingdom Constitution: The Torah is the eternal wisdom of the King for His entire household and Kingdom. The Torah is now written on the heart by the Spirit who abides in/with and empowers the redeemed.
• Kingdom Identity: Identity is grounded in the Kingdom not in carnality or ethnicity; that is, to say God’s covenant promises and faithfulness to Israel stands, Israel’s calling and purpose in God stands and yet Gentiles are grafted in to Messiah and are fellow-heirs and full citizens with Israel walking in obedience to our King and bridegroom, in obedience to the Torah of God in the light of Messiah, as one bride made up of many members (Jew and Gentile). This is the mystery and revelation of “one new man”. Gentiles are full covenant members remaining Gentiles TOGETHER WITH Israel, God’s segullah (special treasure).

• Israel’s calling: “Distinction Theology” falsely claims that Gentiles keeping the Torah is “replacement” teaching or diminishes “Jewish” identity. What they are claiming as nullifying their call is the fulfilling of it; the bringing in of the Gentiles into the Kingdom Family of God and Messiah. Israel’s heritage, promises, and blessing are enlarged with the ingathering and redemption of “all the families of the earth”. It is the unified faithfulness, covenantal love and devotion to Messiah’s instruction of His One betrothed bride (Jew and Gentile) that the Abrahamic promise and oath of God Himself is realized. This is the fellowship of the mystery which has been hidden in God, but now is manifest to the saints that THIS, HIS EKKLESIA may reveal to the principalities and powers in heavenly places the manifold wisdom of God.
• Unity of the Body: In Messiah, the “Middle Wall” of sectarian segregation is destroyed. We are one Body with one standard of holiness. There is one Torah for the native-born and the sojourner alike. Keeping the Torah is a testimony of our Kingdom citizenship and the Spirit’s internal leading. We keep His commands not to become holy, but because we are holy children of the King.
• Moral and Spiritual: We affirm that the entire Torah is spiritual and binding for the redeemed life. All Torah is spiritual and moral.

IV. Rejection of Carnal Sectarianism

We renounce political nationalism, the worship of bloodlines, the pursuit of “lovely titles,” seeking institutional approval, and a sectarian insular spirit. God’s holiness draws others to the light. It does not insulate or alienate. It is not full of self-righteous pride. It overcomes evil with good. It is full of humility, love, and power to free, purify, and redeem.

• Not a Political Movement: This Commonwealth is a spiritual and prophetic reality, not a carnal or ethnic nationalist cause.
• No “Lovely Titles”: We bypass the gatekeepers of major organizations. Our legitimacy is anchored in the Spirit of Adoption and our loyalty is to the King alone.
• Identity in Messiah: Our legitimacy comes from the Spirit’s witness, not a DNA test or a religious certificate.
• Sifting the Sects: We avoid the “linguistic madness” and “genealogical obsessions” that distract from justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These are the weightier matters of the Law. What matters is keeping the commandments of God, faith that works by love, and a new creation not religious group identity. The ekklesia is a living organism and not an institution.

V. The House-to-House Pattern

We commit to the restoration of the First-Century model: men leading men, iron sharpening iron; grounded in the Word, the shared table and multiplying local fellowships.

• Sifting the Soils: We use the Word of the Kingdom to sift the seekers from the spectators.
• Kingdom Authority: We answer to the Text and the Spirit, shaking the dust off from any system that seeks to re-institute the “partition” Messiah died to remove.
• Family Leadership: Men are called to lead their households in the Torah of God in the light of Messiah through the power of the Holy Spirit.
