IJN Hope

IJNHope: “In Jesus (Yeshua’s) Name (Matt. 12:21) Helping Others on the Path to Eternity (Titus 1:2).”

We are not a denominational ministry, nor are we opposed to denominations as such; only to their over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the Body of Yeshua Messiah/Jesus Christ. We believe Yeshua Messiah/Jesus Christ's Agape love is the basis for true fellowship, which is greater than any non-essential doctrinal differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians/or Messianic Jews. (1 Corinthians 13:2-3, 1 Corinthians 1:10-16). Furthermore, we believe that the church has no authority to establish doctrine or practice contrary to Holy Scripture.

This ministry is unique for God has chosen to reveal through two simple objects "Hope Pin and Covenant Pin" the importance of the Jewish Roots of Christianity. The Y occurs by inference denoting the (Yud). Please see Why Ten/Yud? for more. Historically speaking, Christianity was a sect of Judaism until the second century.

• We believe that there is one God originally known as Yahweh (YHWH). His Name is known worldwide as the Tetragrammaton.
• YHWH is the God of all creation; {Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh}[I am/will be what I am/will be],” and added, “Here is what to say to the people of Yisrael: ‘Ehyeh [I am or I will be] has sent me to you.” God further said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Yisrael: Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [Adonai], the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz’chak and the God of Ya’akov, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever; this is how I am to be remembered generation to generation. (Exd. 3:14-15).
• His Semitic Name (YHWH) is supreme. “Sh’ma, Yisrae’El! Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai echad [Hear, O Yisrael Adonai our God, Adonai is one]; and you are to love Adonai your God with all your heart, all your being and all your might. (Deut. 6:4-5).
• We believe the Bible (Tanakh [OT]) and the (B’rit Hadasha [NT]) as a whole is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
• We believe that the Original Bible contained 22 Books in the OT and 27 books in the NT.  See (www.biblediscoveries.com) article "The Original Bible Revealed!" by Dr. T.V. Oommen. This information is based upon the book, "Restoring the Original Bible" by the late Dr. Ernest L. Martin, ASK Publications, Portland, Oregon, 1994).
• We believe that God made humankind in his image and is the crown of his creation. Humankind because of the fall is spiritually depraved because of it became alienated from its Creator and was in need of a Savior. Hence, God sent His Only begotten Son to die for all of humanity so that all who believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
• We believe that the only HOPE to humanity is to believe on the Name of Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Messiah); the Virgin born Son of Yahweh/God; who died on the cross/stake. He took upon Himself the punishment for the sin of humankind and it is by his atoning blood that we are “saved from eternal damnation and death.”  His life, death, resurrection and ultimate return fulfill the Messianic prophecies from the Holy Scripture in the Tanakh (OT). Yeshua's Semitic root name is (Yud-shin-'ayin).
• We believe that the Gospel of Yeshua Ha Mashiach/Jesus Christ will be preached to all ends of the earth before His return.
• We follow in the great commission of His words. (Matt: 28:19). 
• We believe in water baptism, following conversion as commanded by Yeshua Messiah/Jesus Christ as a symbolic sign that the people of God are buried and resurrected with Him.
• We believe that God established the Congregation/Church as the Body of Yeshua Messiah/Jesus Christ and is composed of all those who, through their belief in Him have been spiritually regenerated by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
• We believe Yeshua Messiah/Jesus Christ is the only way of man’s reconciliation with Yahweh God our Heavenly Father.  
• We believe in the Holy Spirit (Ruach Hakodesh) introduced in Gen. 1:2. His Spirit came upon individuals in the times of our forefathers, like Moses, David, and the Prophets, for specific purposes. We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, meaning the Holy Spirit is of the same essence as the Father and the Son. We believe He gives life, sanctifies, empowers and comforts all believers. The Holy Spirit was poured out on the believers in Jerusalem and is poured out on believers today for the purpose of fulfilling God's command to preach the gospel to the entire world. It is only by the Holy Spirit that we are able to live godly lives in Christ Jesus and minister to the unsaved. (Acts 1:8; 5:3-4, John 16:13-14).
• Yeshua Messiah/Jesus Christ promised his disciples that “the Comforter” would come to them after He ascended into heaven. He described the Spirit of Truth (Jn. 14:17, 26); and declared that the Spirit of Truth would guide us into all truth and glorify Him-the Messiah. He has empowered us (Acts. 1:8) and has sealed us (Eph. 1:13, 4:30). If we do not have His Spirit then we are not His (Rom. 8:9).
• We believe that Repentance of Sins, Immersion, and the receiving of the Holy Spirit are all Jewish traditions. Now they have been passed on to be shared with the Gentiles, as they have been “grafted-in” per Romans 11:17. Messiah was first sent to the lost sheep of the House of Yisrael.   
• We believe Yeshua Mashiach/Jesus Messiah will return to earth in power and glory to judge the quick, the dead, and His Saints will reign with him in eternity.
