C316 Ministries

WE BELIEVE that the true basis for fellowship is God's (Agape) love, which is greater than the differences we possess and without which
we cannot claim to be Disciples of Jesus, the Messiah. Matthew 22:36-40 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" (37) And
he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. (38) This is the great and
first commandment. (39) And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (40) On these two commandments depend all the
Law and the Prophets."

WE BELIEVE in the inerrancy of Scripture, that the Bible, Old (Tanach) and New Testament (B’rit Chadassah), are the inspired, infallible
Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in righteousness, (17) that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

WE BELIEVE that God is eternally existent in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19-20 ESV 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, (20) teaching them to
observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

WE BELIEVE that God (Elohim) is the personal, transcendent, and sovereign Creator of all things. Isaiah 40:28 Have you not known? Have
you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is
unsearchable.

WE BELIEVE that Jesus (Yeshua) is fully God and fully human, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, provided for the atonement
of our sins by His substitutionary death on the cross, was bodily raised from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and ever lives
to make intercession for us. Hebrews 9:24-28 For Messiah has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true
things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. (25) Nor
was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, (26) for then he would have had
to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the
sacrifice of himself. (27) And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, (28) so Messiah, having been offered
once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

WE BELIEVE that Scriptural knowledge alone is not enough, but that the knowledge we possess must transcend the eight inches from our
head to tangible heart knowledge; resulting in a life of surrender, compassion and faith in Jesus our Messiah. 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (1) Now
concerning food offered to idols: we know that "all of us possess knowledge." This "knowledge" puffs up, but love builds up. (2) If anyone
imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. (3) But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.

WE BELIEVE that all people are, by nature, separated from God and are responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and
forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus (Yeshua). When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus as personal
Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and
that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through
faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, (9) not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

WE BELIEVE in the gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in the Scriptures, and that they are valid for today if they are exercised within the
scriptural guidelines. We as believers are to covet the best gifts, seeking to exercise them in love that the whole Body of Messiah might be
edified. And that love is more important than the most spectacular gifts, and without this love all exercise of spiritual gifts is worthless. Romans
12:6-10 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; (7) if service, in our
serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; (8) the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who
leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness. (9) Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
(10) Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

WE BELIEVE worship is spiritual, we seek to be flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to for direction. worship of God
should be inspirational and music to be an integral part of worship. worship of God should be intelligent With a great emphasis on Bible
teaching and the exhortation to search and verify the Scriptures for truth. (Acts 17:11) Acts 17:10-11 The brothers immediately sent Paul and
Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. (11) Now these Jews were more noble than those
in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

WE BELIEVE as a teaching ministry not to place burdens such as, man made doctrines , rules, regulations or any other obligations on those
God has entrusted us to instruct and that total responsibility and accountability for what is taught is solely our responsibility. Acts 15:28-29
ESV For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: (29) that you abstain from
what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from
these, you will do well. Farewell." Hebrews 13:17 HNV Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as
those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.

WE BELIEVE that ALL replacement theology is unscriptural, rooted in the errant teaching of some in the “Gentile” Church and utterly
REJECT this teaching . We believe that Israel, the people, the land and the Nation, are God’s Chosen and still the apple of HIS Eye, that the
Lord is fulfilling prophecy foretold by the prophets to gather them from the fours corners of the earth and bring them back the land promised
to Abraham, & that the beginning of all things to be fulfilled and the return of our Messiah began when Israel became a nation May 15, 1948.
Isaiah 49:14-16 But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me." (15) "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that
she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. (16) Behold, I have engraved you
on the palms of my hands;your walls are continually before me.

While C316 Ministries holds to these beliefs, we welcome any believer in the Lord who has a sincere desire to grow closer to
Jesus. Our desire is to share in the fellowship of Messiah in a way that brings glory to God, avoiding division & derision, and to
share in His Agape love.
