Baptism is Required. Accept Yeshua as the Messiah, repent of your sins, and get baptized as a symbol of being born again into the family of YHVH. Baptism is something that didn’t quite come out of the blue but took on more meaning as it drew near for the time of Christ. Washing with water to resolve spiritual impurities is something from Torah that then became something that was used to identify the people of God throughout Judea in the two centuries before Yeshua. In the first century, the practice of mikva’ot was remarkably common, then John the Baptist elevates immersion to being for the forgiveness of sins. Yeshua Himself is baptized by John to show us the example, not because of any need, and the Spirit descended on Him like a dove. The Father even said, from heaven, “you are my beloved Son, in You I am well pleased” when He was baptized. This sanctioned baptism and showed us that it is indeed required. Those who crucified the Messiah, guilty of His murder, confessed their sin and were baptized in His Name on the day of Pentecost, further showing us the requirement for this practice. Peter had to be humbled to be shown that baptism was for all whom God will call to Himself, whether from Israel of the nations.

The Sabbath is for all Mankind
The Sabbath is for all mankind. The Sabbath was created on the 7th day of creation, kept by all the apostles and early Christians, and will be kept in the future under penalty of death. YHVH aka God rested on the 7th day of creation as an example for mankind the same way that Yeshua aka Jesus was baptized. God was not tired and did not need rest after creating the world, He rested with Adam as an example. Yeshua was sinless and did not need to be baptized, He did that to be an example as well. The first century believers would never have considered changing the Sabbath or stopping it because that was the principle means they identified as worshipers of the one true God. This has never changed and this message proves from scripture that the Sabbath is not just for Christians and Jews, but for all mankind.
We’re Adopted, Now What?
We’re adopted, now what? It’s decision time, brothers and sisters, either decide to be a Christian and follow Him fully or don’t. After accepting Yeshua as the Messiah (Jesus as the Christ) and becoming an adopted child of God, then what? This message addresses what the first century gentiles had to do to change how they were living and become children of God. I then parallel that to today, which is shockingly similar. This message proves that the rituals in mainstream Christianity, the things believers are required to do to be considered believers, are actually from paganism and the same exact religions Paul and the other apostles were sent into the world to counter. It’s decision time, brothers and sisters, either decide to be a Christian and follow Him fully or don’t.
The Gospel and Our Connection to the God of Abraham
The Gospel and our Connection to the God of Abraham explains how a person who has no connection to the God of Israel becomes connected through grafting in. This message is essential foundational information for Christianity and explains how our faith is a continuation of the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Israel is the chosen people and this is explained in the message that God chose them as the conduit for Him to communicate His desire and purposes for mankind. Israel is also essential as the Messiah is of the tribe of Judah, and there is no such thing as a messiah without the faith of Abraham. The Gospel and our connection to the God of Abraham explains how God was working with the nations before the first coming of the Messiah through the synagogue system so that the world would be prepared to accept the Gospel.
