Our Beliefs New Heaven Ministry

1. The Bible as the Inspired Word of God

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of YAHWEH, breathed out by God Himself (2 Timothy 3:16). The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, were written under the guidance of the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21), making them infallible in all that they teach and revealing the perfect will of YAHWEH.

The Bible is not merely a collection of human writings; it is the living and active Word of God (Hebrews 4:12), sharper than any two-edged sword, able to convict, guide, and transform our lives. It serves as the final and ultimate rule for faith and practice (Psalm 119:105), providing everything we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). No other book holds the authority of Scripture, for it is the direct revelation of God's truth and wisdom, from Genesis to Revelation.

YAHshúa Himself affirmed the authority of Scripture, saying, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4). As such, the Bible is the foundation upon which I build my faith, the light that directs my path, and the truth that shapes my actions. Every word is trustworthy and true (Psalm 19:7), and I submit to its authority in every aspect of life, knowing that YAHWEH's Word will endure forever (Isaiah 40:8).

2. The Trinity

We believe in one true God, eternally existing in three persons: YAHWEH the Father, YAHshúa the Son, and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), who are co-equal and co-eternal. These three are distinct, yet perfectly united as one God, sharing the same divine essence and purpose. As the Scriptures declare, "YAHWEH our God, the YAHWEH is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4), yet within this oneness exists the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, each playing a vital role in creation, salvation, and sanctification.

YAHWEH: The Father: is the Creator of all things (Genesis 1:1) and the source of every good gift (James 1:17). He is sovereign, loving, and full of mercy.
YAHWEH: YAHshúa the Son: is the eternal Word who "was with God and was God" (John 1:1), the One through whom all things were made (Colossians 1:16). He is our Redeemer and King, fully divine and fully human, who laid down His life for our salvation (John 3:16) and now reigns in power and glory (Revelation 19:16).
YAHWEH: The Ruach HaKodesh: is the Spirit of Truth, who convicts the world of sin (John 16:8), empowers believers (Acts 1:8), and dwells within us as our Comforter and Guide (John 14:26).

In the baptism of YAHshúa, we see the perfect unity of the Trinity: the Father speaks from heaven, the Son is baptized, and the Spirit descends like a dove (Matthew 3:16-17). This profound mystery reveals the co-equality and co-eternality of the three persons, each distinct yet united in their divine nature and mission. Together, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work in perfect harmony for the redemption of humanity and the fulfillment of YAHWEH's eternal plan (Ephesians 1:4-5). The Trinity is a glorious revelation of God's nature—one God in three persons, worthy of all honor and worship.

3. The Deity of YAHshúa the Christ

We believe that YAHshúa, the Christ, is the eternal Son of YAHWEH, fully divine and fully human. He was born of the virgin Mary (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23), lived a sinless life (Hebrews 4:15), and willingly died for the sins of humanity (1 Peter 2:24). His atoning death and resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) is the only way to be reconciled with YAHWEH (John 14:6).

YAHshúa's greatness is unmatched—He is the Word made flesh (John 1:1, 14), and all things were created through Him (Colossians 1:16). He is both loving and powerful, laying down His life out of love for the world (John 3:16) and defeating death through His resurrection (Revelation 1:18).

Scripture promises that at His return, "every knee will bow" and "every tongue will confess that YAHshúa is Lord" (Philippians 2:10-11), displaying His ultimate authority and power over all creation. In Him, we see both the loving Savior and the mighty King who reigns forever (Revelation 19:16).

4. Salvation by Grace through Faith

We believe that salvation is a profound gift of grace, offered freely through faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:16). While salvation is by grace alone, it also requires my recognition that Christ died personally for me. God, in His love, does not force or manipulate anyone to believe; instead, He calls all people to repentance and faith (Acts 17:30-31). Understanding this, I must take the intentional step of obedience—choosing to receive Christ in my heart, acknowledging Him as my Savior, and being saved. As Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God.” We believe that salvation is both a divine invitation and my willing response to His love, stepping forward to receive the life He offers.

John Wesley’s theology is the perfect position that can match the bible context about this point and stands against the “Calvinism” in several key areas, particularly regarding the doctrine of salvation. Here are Wesley’s five points in opposition to the five points of Calvinism (commonly summarized as TULIP):

4.1 Total Depravity (Calvinism) vs. Prevenient Grace (Wesley)

Calvinism: Human beings are totally depraved due to sin and are unable to choose God or do anything good on their own. Only by God’s irresistible grace can a person be saved. – Totally False, God does not need to force nobody instead His Love, Light and Grace is presented by the Holy Spirit with the intent to give conviction to person in that way, they in Obedience, gratitude and recognition procced to accept Christ as Lord and Savior.
Wesley: While Wesley agreed that humans are deeply affected by sin (total depravity), he emphasized prevenient grace, which is the grace that goes before. This means God’s grace enables every person to respond to His call to salvation. Through prevenient grace, humans are not utterly incapable of choosing God; they can respond freely to His offer of salvation.

4.2 Unconditional Election (Calvinism) vs. Conditional Election (Wesley)

Calvinism: God has predestined certain individuals to be saved (the elect) and others to be damned, and this is not based on any condition or foreseen faith but solely on God’s sovereign choice.
Totally false: if God chose someone to go to the Heaven and another to go to Hell that will no be the God of the Bible but a “Muslim-god” that chose some people in the crazy way.
Wesley: Rejected unconditional election. He believed in conditional election, meaning that God welcome anybody that respond in faith to His offer of salvation. God desires that all should be saved (1 Timothy 2:4), and election is based on individuals freely accepting Christ.

4.3 Limited Atonement (Calvinism) vs. Unlimited Atonement (Wesley)

Calvinism: Christ’s atonement is limited in scope; He died only for the elect. His sacrifice is sufficient for all but efficient only for those God has predestined to save.
Totally another aberration: because according to John 3:16 and Acts 17:30-31 that believe contradict the nature of God and His desire.
Wesley: Firmly opposed this idea, believing in unlimited atonement. Christ died for all people, not just the elect. His death on the cross provides the means for salvation for everyone, though it is only effective for those who choose to accept it. Wesley cited verses like John 3:16 to support the idea that Jesus died for the whole world.

4.4 Irresistible Grace (Calvinism) vs. Resistible Grace (Wesley)

Calvinism: When God extends His grace to an individual, it is irresistible; the person will inevitably come to faith and be saved. God’s grace cannot be rejected by the elect.
Totally false: God does force anybody to impose and coerce His Love and Grace instead offer it totally free.
Wesley: Believed in resistible grace, meaning that God’s grace can be freely accepted or rejected by individuals. While God’s prevenient grace enables a person to choose salvation, it does not guarantee they will. Humans have the free will to resist God’s grace and continue in unbelief.

4.5 Perseverance of the Saints (Calvinism) vs. Possibility of Falling from Grace (Wesley)

Calvinism: Those who are truly elect will persevere in faith and cannot lose their salvation. If someone falls away, they were never truly saved in the first place.
Totally false: The salvation can’t be lost if you endure in Christ but you can lose you faith and if you lose you faith the salvation go away together according to Matthew 24:13
Wesley: Wesley believed that it is possible for someone to fall from grace after having received salvation. While God’s grace sustains believers, they must continue in faith and obedience. If they turn away from God, they can lose their salvation. Wesley emphasized the believer’s responsibility to persevere in holiness and faith.

Summary of Wesley’s Key Points:

• 1. Prevenient Grace: God’s grace enables all people to respond freely to Him.
• 2. Conditional Election: God’s election is based on foreseen faith and a person’s free response.
• 3. Unlimited Atonement: Christ died for everyone, not just the elect.
• 4. Resistible Grace: God’s grace can be accepted or rejected; it is not forced.
• 5. Possibility of Falling from Grace: A believer can choose to turn away from faith and lose their salvation.

5. Sanctification and Holiness

We believe that sanctification is a powerful, continuous, and progressive work of the Holy Spirit in my life. It is not a one-time event but an ongoing process through which I am daily transformed into the likeness of YAHshúa. This work of sanctification is a deep, personal encounter with the Holy Spirit, who convicts, purifies, and strengthens me to live in true holiness. As 1 Thessalonians 5:23 says, "May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through."

This journey toward holiness requires my active cooperation with the Holy Spirit. It is not passive; I must seek to live in full obedience to YAHWEH's will, continually surrendering to His refining work in my heart and mind. As Philippians 2:12-13 reminds us, "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose." Each day, as I yield to the Holy Spirit, He molds me, shaping my character and desires to align with the holiness of YAHWEH.

Holiness is not an abstract ideal but a lifelong pursuit, empowered by God’s grace. I strive for holiness because I know that "without holiness, no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14). Through God's grace, I am called to be set apart, to walk in purity, and to reflect His glory. This path of sanctification leads to deeper spiritual maturity, as I am transformed "from glory to glory" (2 Corinthians 3:18), becoming more like Christ every day. It is through this ongoing sanctification that I can live a life that honors YAHWEH and fulfills His purpose for me.

6. The Work of the Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is powerfully and constantly at work in my life, just as YAHshúa promised in John 16:8-12, where He said the Spirit would convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Holy Spirit guides me daily, convicting me of areas where I fall short and leading me to grow in righteousness. He reveals the truth of YAHWEH’s Word, opening my eyes to God’s grace and His call to a life of holiness, as seen in John 14:26, where YAHshúa promised that the Holy Spirit would teach me all things and remind me of everything He has said.

But the Spirit’s work is not only one of conviction; He also empowers me to live according to God's will. Acts 1:8 reminds us that "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you," enabling me to live out God’s purposes with strength and wisdom. He is my Helper, giving me the courage and understanding I need to walk in obedience and live a life that reflects Christ. As I respond to His prompting, He continually strengthens me and transforms me, as 2 Corinthians 3:18 declares, "We are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

The Spirit’s work requires my cooperation—He will guide, but I must choose to follow. This is an ongoing, dynamic relationship where I seek to align myself with His guidance in every area of my life, trusting that He will continue to sanctify and shape me into Christlikeness daily. I believe the Holy Spirit is the power of God at work in me, constantly working to conform me to YAHshúa's image and lead me in living a life pleasing to YAHWEH.

7. The Church and Its Mission

We believe that the Church is the body of YAHshúa the Christ, called to worship YAHWEH, disciple believers, and evangelize the world. The Church is established by Christ Himself, as He said, "I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it" (Matthew 16:18). We are called to fulfill the Great Commission, spreading the gospel and making disciples of all nations, as commanded by YAHshúa in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."

The mission of the Church is grounded in God's love for all humanity. 2 Peter 3:9 reminds us that "The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise... but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." While God lovingly calls all people to repentance and faith, He does not predestine anyone as a robot to believe. Instead, He offers salvation freely and gives every person the opportunity to respond to His grace willingly. As John 3:16 declares, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The Church's mission is not only to proclaim the gospel but to do so in a way that respects human free will, inviting all to respond to the message of salvation without coercion or manipulation. Romans 10:13-14 says, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?" Therefore, the Church must continue to share this message of love, freedom, and truth, calling people to follow Christ and grow in Him, knowing that salvation is a divine invitation to which each person must willingly respond.

8. Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

We believe: that baptism and the Lord’s Supper are essential acts of obedience and symbols of my faith in Jesus Christ. According to the Bible, baptism represents being united with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Romans 6:4), and is an outward sign of the inward transformation that comes from faith. It’s a public declaration of my commitment to follow Him. The Lord’s Supper, or communion, is a remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross (1 Corinthians 11:24-25). By partaking of the bread and the cup, I acknowledge His body broken for me and His blood shed for the forgiveness of my sins. Both are acts of worship and fellowship with Christ, expressing my faith and gratitude for His work of salvation.

9. Free Will and Human Responsibility

We believe that God, through His - prevenient grace -, lovingly gives me the ability to recognize my need for salvation and respond to His call. This grace is the unmerited favor of God reaching out to me before I ever seek Him, as it says in Titus 2:11, "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people." While His grace draws me, the choice to accept or reject salvation rests with me. God, in His infinite wisdom and love, respects my free will, offering me the freedom to choose or reject Him.

I reject the idea that God predestines certain people to be saved while others are excluded. The Bible clearly teaches that "God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is for everyone, and salvation is made available to all who choose to believe in Him, as John 3:16 proclaims, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

God’s love is extended to every person, and He desires that all should come to repentance (1 Timothy 2:4), but He does not force anyone to believe. His gift of salvation is a call to freedom, where each person must respond in faith. While God's grace enables me to believe, He honors the integrity of free will, allowing me to make the conscious decision to follow Him. This balance of God’s grace and my responsibility highlights His desire for a genuine relationship, not one based on coercion, but on love and free response.

10. Divine Healing

We believe that divine healing is a powerful demonstration of God’s grace and power, available to all who believe, as YAHshúa said in Mark 16:17, “And these signs shall follow them that believe: In My name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” This promise of healing is not just a hope but a declaration of YAHWEH's willingness and ability to intervene in the lives of His people, both physically and spiritually.

I trust fully in God’s love and mercy, knowing that He is the Great Physician, able to heal any disease or affliction (Exodus 15:26). Whether it is healing the body or restoring the soul, His power is unmatched. While I understand that not every situation results in immediate healing, I believe that God always works according to His perfect will and purpose (Romans 8:28). He invites me to approach Him in faith, praying for healing with confidence, as James 5:14-15 encourages, "Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well."

Divine healing is not only a blessing for those who receive it, but it also stands as a testament to God's power and a clear sign of His presence among believers today. It affirms His ongoing work in the world, showing that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Every act of healing reveals the compassion of YAHWEH and His desire to make us whole, both in body and spirit, as a reflection of His kingdom breaking into our world.

11. The Second Coming of Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ will return in glory, just as He promised, and His second coming will bring the fulfillment of God's kingdom and the end of the world as we know it. When Christ returns, He will judge the living and the dead, and all things will be made new. As 2 Thessalonians 2:8 states, "The Lord Jesus will overthrow [the lawless one] with the breath of His mouth and destroy him by the splendor of His coming." His return will establish eternal justice and righteousness, and those who have believed in Him will experience eternal life in His presence.

Furthermore, as 2 Peter 3:13 says, "We are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells." This new creation will be the eternal home of those who believe in Him. This hope inspires me to live faithfully and watchfully, knowing that His return could come at any time, and it will be the ultimate completion of God’s redemptive plan for all creation.

12. The Final Judgment:

We believe that there will be a final judgment, an awe-inspiring and inevitable day when every person will stand before the throne of YAHWEH. The righteous—those who have trusted in YAHshúa as their Savior—will be welcomed into eternal life, where they will dwell in the glorious presence of YAHWEH forever. As Matthew 25:34 declares, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world."

On the other hand, those who have rejected God’s grace and persisted in rebellion and wickedness will face eternal separation from Him. This is a sobering reality, as 2 Thessalonians 1:9 states, "They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might." The final judgment will be a moment of divine justice, where every hidden thought and action will be laid bare before the holy and righteous God. As Revelation 20:12 says, "The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books."

This judgment will be perfectly fair, reflecting the holiness and righteousness of YAHWEH, who cannot overlook sin but is also rich in mercy to those who turn to Him. The reality of this final judgment compels me to live with urgency and purpose, knowing that eternal destinies are at stake. It reminds me of the critical need to share the gospel of salvation in Christ, offering people the opportunity to be reconciled to God before that great and final day. For "now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2).

13. Christian Perfection

We believe that Christian perfection is not about being sinless but about ongoing sanctification and spiritual growth through the power of the Holy Spirit. While I strive to grow in holiness, I recognize that perfection, as taught in the Wesleyan sense, refers to a heart fully devoted to God, living in perfect love. However, I understand that this journey of spiritual maturity is continuous. As the Holy Spirit works in me, I am called to become more like Christ each day, knowing that this process will not be completed until I am fully united with Him in eternity. The focus is on growing in grace, obedience, and Christlikeness, knowing that the Holy Spirit empowers me to live a life pleasing to God.

14. The Role of Good Works

We believe that while salvation is solely by grace through faith, good works are the natural and essential fruit of a transformed life. Once I have received salvation through faith in Christ, my actions should reflect that inner change. I am called to love and serve others, obey God’s commands, and live a life of holiness. These good works are not a means to earn salvation, but they are evidence of the faith I profess and a reflection of Christ’s presence in my life. As James 2:17 states, "Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." Good works demonstrate the reality of my faith and allow me to witness to others about God's love and grace.

15. Social Responsibility and Evangelism

Social Responsibility and Evangelism: I believe in the urgent and sacred call to share the gospel and actively confront the issues of poverty, injustice, and oppression. The Bible is clear: evangelism is not an option, but a command. Matthew 28:19 charges me, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." This Great Commission is the heartbeat of my faith, compelling me to spread the Good News of YAHshúa to everyone—without exception. Evangelism is the lifeline of the Church, a divine mandate to lead others to the salvation, love, and hope found in Christ alone.

But my mission does not end with words; the gospel must be lived out in actions. Micah 6:8 calls me to "act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God." As a follower of Christ, I am His hands and feet in a broken world. Sharing the gospel means not only preaching, but also standing against oppression, feeding the hungry, and defending the vulnerable. This is the essence of Christ’s ministry, who "came to seek and to save the lost" (Luke 19:10) and also to proclaim freedom for the oppressed and bring justice to the marginalized (Isaiah 61:1-2).

True evangelism is inseparable from compassion. The gospel I proclaim is one of transformation—transforming both souls and society. I am called to engage with the world's pain, not just spiritually but physically and socially, reflecting God's heart for all people. In every act of mercy and justice, I am proclaiming the reality of the kingdom of YAHWEH. Evangelism is the urgent task of bringing the message of eternal life to every corner of the world, while at the same time embodying the love and justice of Christ in tangible, life-changing ways.
