Intro to my beliefs as a Messianic Nazarene

Hello, all! Of course, I am new here. I am a Messianic Nazarene, after the first followers of Messiah, historically, and scripturally (Acts 24:5).

I believe we are all saved by grace through faith that Yahshua our Messiah was sent by Yahweh to be salvation for us, just as Abraham had faith and was justified by the same belief (Gen 15:6; Gen 22:8) And since Abraham is the father of our faith (Rom 4:11), we should do the works of Abraham (John 8:39).

Because of Abraham's faith he was circumcised and continued in Torah as it was revealed to him (Gen 26:5).

I believe Yahweh has one people, Israel, and that all that are in Messiah become part of the "commonwealth of Israel" and become children of Abraham (Gal 3:29; Eph 2:11-22).

I believe Messiah Yahshua came to redeem and restore Israel and build up Israel (Mt 16:18; Acts 4:4-6).

I believe that is the "gospel of the kingdom": the deliverance of the exiles of Israel and the uniting of both divided houses of Israel (Is 11:11-12; Ez 37; Hos 1:11).

I do not believe in a separation of Jew and Gentile. I believe all are Israel in Yahshua. I acknowledge the importance of Torah in our lives. I believe it is to be kept (Rom 2:13, 3:31 ; Jam 2:8-12) although it does not save us. We should keep it out of faith and obedience in order to be that peculiar nation (Ex 19:5; Deut 4:5-6) and the "workmanship" Yahweh wants us to be (Eph 2:10).

Although they do not save us, faith without works is dead. We must remain in Messiah by keeping his commandments (Jn 14:15; 1Jn 2:3-6, 5:1-3).

I do not believe Torah is done away with. I accept all of the New Testament. I just disagree with traditional interpretation of certain passages and books (such as Galations) about how Torah fits in with our walk with Messiah.

***EDIT***

I prefer "Messianic" but in essence, I am a Christian.

Peace and Love.
 
so are you a Messianic Jew? Do you attend a Messianic congregation? Is there more than once branch of Messianics? Are "Jews for Jesus" the same as Messianic Jews? Just curious!
:-D

Not, a Jew, particularly. I do not think, biblically, that being a Jew means you are part of the religion of "Judaism". I believe, scripturally, that being a Jew means you come from either or the two tribes of the southern kingdom (Judah or Benjamin).

I do not know what I am. But I am not a Jew or Gentile. I am a Nazarene Israelite, since I believe all believers are Israel spiritually and physically.

But yes, karen, there are many branches of Messianics.

Thanx for the welcome everyone. 8-)
 
Welcome!!!

I hope that we can get to speak a bit more about your beliefs. I respect them and hope and pray that you will be blessed during your time here. :)
 
Howdy I am a Gentile saved by grace through faith and not a Jew.

Ephesians 3:1-6 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
