The Names - Yahuah and Yahushua Emmanuel are Spoken Here!

(Exodus 6:3, 20:1-5; Ezekiel 39:7; John 17:25-26; Hebrews 2:12)

We, the members of Yahuah’s assembly in Louisville, Kentucky, base our faith on the inspired sacred Scriptures known as the Holy Bible. We recognize love as the basis of our faith. It is the commitment of the dedicated members of this assembly to fulfill the two great commandments as stated by our Savior in Matthew 22:37-40. “Yahushua Emmanuel replied: ‘Love Yahuah your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Yahushua Emmanuel’s teaching comes directly from the Torah. The first and greatest commandment is declared in Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and the second greatest commandment is stated in Leviticus 19:18. Love is the basic foundation in both of these commandments. These two great commandments are at the root of all the other commandments in Yahuah’s covenant Law. The love described here reflects the spirit of the entire Law of Yahuah. Yahuah has expressed His love for mankind through the gift of His Son (John 3:26-21). Yahuah is love (1 John 4:7-8, 16). Love is all important to our faith as true believers and followers in/of Yahuah and Yahushua Emmanuel (1 Corinthians 13).

As believers and followers in/of Yahuah and Yahushua Emmanuel, it is our determination to fulfill these two great commandments by having the Law of Yahuah written in our minds and hearts (Jeremiah 31:31-33; Hebrews 8:8-11; Hebrews 10:16-18). This can only be accomplished as we become spiritual Jews and Israelites who have been circumcised in heart and mind to walk by the rules of Yahuah’s Covenant law (Romans 2;28-29; Galatians 6:15-16). We believe that those who possess the true love of Yahuah will willingly keep Yahuah’s commandments as an expression of that love (1John 5:1-3). Those who know Yahushua Emmanuel keep His commandments and walk as He walked (1 John 2:3-6). Yahushua Emmanuel identified His true disciples as having Philadelphia love for one another (John 13:34-35). He further stated that we must love one another as He loved us (John 15:12-13) and that those who love, as Yahushua Emmanuel loved, will willingly lay down their lives for their friends.

With the knowledge of what the true love of Yahuah is, it is our determination to bring forth the attributes attached to the Philadelphia Assembly as given in Revelation 3:7-13. They kept Yahushua Emmanuel’s word (i.e. the commandments of Yahuah – John 14:21-24) and did not deny His Name. For their dedication, they will be given protection during the great tribulation at the end of the age (Revelation 3:10). Prophetically speaking, end-time true worshipers are described as keeping the commandments of Yahuah and having the testimony and faith of Yahushua Emmanuel the Messiah (Revelation 12:17 and 14:12). It is therefore our commitment to obey Yahuah’s Covenant Law through love. Having Philadelphia love means having love for the brethren and by extension for all people. Yahushua Emmanuel has told us to love our neighbor and to even love our enemies (Matthew 5:42-44). In keeping with that, it is our determination to love all people regardless of gender, race, creed, color, religion, or nationality. The spiritual house of Yahuah’s people shall be called a house of prayer for all people (Isaiah 56:6-8).

We understand that in these last days, Almighty Yahuah is causing His people to return to Him through the keeping of His Law. By means of the same prophetic message proclaimed by the Old Testament prophet EliYah (i.e. teaching the people that Yahuah is the true Elohim), He is turning His people back to the true faith (Malachi 4:4-6). His Son, Yahushua Emmanuel the Messiah, is the Word made flesh (John 1:14) and as such He is the physical manifestation of Yahuah’s perfect Law, the law of liberty, which is able to save our souls (James 1:21-25). We therefore, understand our responsibility to prove our love for Yahuah, Yahushua Emmanuel, our fellow man by keeping Yahuah’s Torah (J John 5:3; John 14:15). By doing this from the heart, we prove our faith to Yahuah so that we might be reckoned as righteous in Yahuah’s sight (James 2:14-26).

As people of faith, we are responsible to exercise our faith through our works (i.e. the keeping of Yahuah’s commandments). The good works of the Law which we bring forth are the proof of our faith. We understand that we are saved by grace and not by our works (Ephesians 2:8-10).

Salvation is a free gift from Yahuah which cannot be earned. It is given to those who make a covenant with Almighty Yahuah through the shed blood of our Savior (Romans 3:21-26) while remaining faithful to the end (Matthew 24:13).

We have determined that Yahuah’s Word (i.e. His Law) is the Truth (John 17:17) and that the Truth sanctifies Yahuah’s people and sets them free from the bondage of sin (John 8:31-36) and its destructive ways (Romans 6:23). Sin is the transgression (i.e. breaking) of the Law (1 John 3:4). It can only be recognized through knowledge of Yahuah’s Law (Romans 7:7). Without that knowledge it is impossible to know what sin is, and therefore it is impossible to repent (turn back to Yahuah).

Those who worship Yahuah must do so in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24). It is our commitment to possess and maintain Yahuah’s Holy Spirit in our lives and within the body of believers by obeying the truth of Yahuah’s Covenant Law (Acts 5:32). We seek to be a spiritual people in Yahuah’s sight by being conceived anew through water (water baptism into the name of Yahushua Emmanuel) and through spirit (Yahuah’s Holy Spirit) and thereby gain entrance into the Kingdom of Yahuah. This is a part of the conversion process which begins when a person recognizes the need to repent and to make changes from within, and then undergoes baptism. That process will culminate in a physical transformation into a spirit being upon Yahushua Emmanuel’s return (John 3:3-7; 1 Corinthians 15:35-54).

As members of this assembly, we have joined together to do the will of the Almighty Yahuah by living our lives in subjection to Him as personal witness, and by collectively proclaiming the truth of Yahuah’s Word until our Savior returns. With this determination and knowledge, we therefore put forth this “Statements of Beliefs” as a testimony of our faith, as brethren in the Messiah Yahushua Emmanuel and to define the major foundational tenets of our beliefs in regard to the plan of salvation.
