Vision - Texoma Messianic Fellowship

Doctrinally, we believe:
1. In the One and Only Living GOD (Deuteronomy 6:4) eternally existent in the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. He is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Creator of heaven and earth
(Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 42:5, Isaiah 48:16, Matthew 28:19).
2. That Yeshua is Israel's promised Messiah and the Redeemer of the entire human race. By His
life, death and resurrection, He fulfilled the Messianic prophecies of the Tanach related to
Messiah's first coming. Yeshua, the Divine Messiah, is the fullest revelation of GOD to man (Isaiah
7:14, 9:6-7, 49:6, 53:1-12, Psalms 16:9-11, Hebrews 1:3).
3. That GOD made man in His own image and endowed him with a longing for intimate
fellowship with GOD (Genesis1:26, 2:7, Psalms 42:1-2).
4. That man's disobedience to God's revealed will (sin) cause a separation between man and GOD
(Genesis 2:16-17, Isaiah 59:1-2).
5. That the only provision GOD made for reconciling man to Himself was through the atoning
work of the Messiah, who died as the sacrifice for our disobedience and rose again, manifesting
the victory over sin and death (Leviticus.17:11, Isaiah 53:1-12, II Corinthians. 5:19).
6. That the Bible, both the Tanach and the B'rit Chadashah (New Covenant Scriptures), is the
inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of GOD, which is man's only reliable foundation to
faith and conduct (Numbers. 12:6-8, Isaiah 8:20, II Timothy. 3:16-17).
7. That all who repent from sin and accept God's message of salvation in the Messiah are born of
the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit of GOD). Faith in the Messiah as the Mediator of the New
Covenant makes us true children of GOD (Jeremiah. 31:31-34, Ezekiel. 36:24-27, John.
1:11-13).
8. That those who are of the Ruach HaKodesh become members of the universal people of GOD,
or the Body of Messiah. This one spiritual fellowship includes both Jews and Gentiles as equal
members of this body (I Corinthians12:12-13, 27, Ephesians 2:11-18, Isaiah 49:6).
9. In the work and presence of the Ruach HaKodesh in the life of the believer. He brings forth the
fruit of righteousness in the life of all followers of the Messiah. The Ruach HaKodesh also gifts,
orders and leads the local body of believers, enabling the believers to become a community of
love and service (Romans. 8:1-4, Romans. 12, I Corinthians. 12, Ephesians. 4:11-12).
10. That GOD gave the practices of the Law for moral instruction and as a body of cultural -
national practice which would point forward to the Messiah's work. The Law is valid as a
reflection of God's righteous standard and as a means of preserving a distinct nation of Israel.
"Fulfillment" by the work of Yeshua does not imply the abrogation of the Law but rather bringing
the Torah to its fullest meaning. Righteousness with GOD is based solely upon grace through
faith (Deuteronomy 30:11-20, 6:20-25, Psalms 19:7-14, Matthew 5:17-19, Romans 3:23, 27-31,
6:23, Ephesians2:8-9).
11. That the nation Israel is chosen by GOD to be a channel of blessing to all the nations on
earth. The return of our people to their land is in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. The day will
come when Israel as a nation will accept the Messiah Yeshua. Then shall the Word of GOD go
forth from Zion and the Messiah will come again to establish His world-wide rule from Jerusalem
(Genesis 2:1-3, Isaiah 11, Zechariah 12:10, 13:1, Romans 11:26-29).
12. In the restoration of the Messianic Jewish Community. This community has been dormant for
approx. 17centuries and the resurrected Messianic Community is an indication of God's
faithfulness to His covenant people.
13. The restoration of the Romans 11 "Olive Tree" will provide healing between Jews and
Gentiles in the Body of Messiah. (Romans 9-11)
14. In the ministry of reconciliation between Jewish and Gentile members of the Body of Messiah.
Our fellowship reinforces the initiative to repair and heal the breach between Jewish and Gentile
believers in Yeshua dating from the first centuries of the Church, doing so primarily through
humility, prayer and repentance. (Acts 15, Acts 21:17-26, Romans 11:29, Romans 11:11-24, 2
Corinthians. 5:18-29, Ephesians 2:11-16)
15. In the spiritual unity of all believers in Yeshua, the Messiah. This is part of our identity and a
witness to the faithfulness of GOD (Acts 21:19-20, Ezekiel 36:22, Ephesians 2:14, Romans9:4).

As a fellowship of believers we are determined to live according to the words of Yeshua in
Matthew 22:37-40:"'Love the L-RD your GOD 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."
