The 13 Messianic Jewish (Christian) Principles Of Faith With Corrections and Updates


Based on and taken from Maimonides' 13 Priniciples of Faith, basic:

  • Belief in the existence of the omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent Creator who created all life (of people, animals, and other kinds of beings) and all non-living matter; and who created all people b'tzelem Elohim--in the image of G-d.
  • The belief in G-d's absolute and unparalleled Pluralunity as Father, Son, and Spirit--"Shema, Yisra'el; Yehovah Eloheinu, Yehovah Echad." (cf. Deuteronomy 6:4, from the passage known as "The Shema")
  • The belief in G-d the Father's noncorporeality, and that He will be affected by any physical occurrences, such as movement, or rest, or dwelling; and the belief that Yeshua (G-d the Son, Begotten--Not Made) is both G-d and the only sinless Man, thus why human beings are created b'tzelem Elohim; and the belief that the Spirit of G-d the Father is also the Spirit of Yeshua.
  • The belief in G-d's eternity, immortality, and complete and perfect morality; thus, the eternal security and life of the believer (cf. 2 Timothy 2:12-13) 
  • The imperative to worship Him exclusively and no foreign false gods, and that nobody can worship or come to G-d the Father but through G-d the Son--who, with the Father and the Spirit, gives faith by grace, and vice versa. 
  • The belief that G-d communicates with man through prophecy, dreams, visions, TaNaKH (Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, Hadashah), creation, the Holy Spirit, and other direct and indirect revelation
  • The belief that the prophecy and direction of Yeshua, and any prophecy and direction given through and by Him has priority; and that all spirits which give prophecy, direction, and revelation should be tested to see whether they are of or from Yeshua.
  • The belief in the divine origin of the TaNaKH, and that TaNaKH itself is G-d in written form (cf. John 1:1)--for all words of TaNaKH are G-d's words ad dictum ("to word", as he dictated) and ad verbatim.
  • The belief in the immutability, infallibility, and inerrancy of the TaNaKH; and that only those who are not under grace are still under all of the 613 mitzvot given to Moses and to Israel through Moses, and that those under grace are under the New Covenant (B'rit Hadashah) in Yeshua--to which Torah and the rest of TaNaKH that come before Hadashah pointed.
  • The belief in providence and miracles that emanate therefrom (e.g., life itself).
  • The belief in divine reward and retribution, and Heaven and Hell being the realms of the afterlife in which souls, because of humankind being created b'tzelem Elohim, will continue to exist eternally--Heaven in which the fallen asleep (the believers) reside, Hell in which the dead (the non believers) reside; until the Final Judgement--wherein the believer will reside in the New Jerusalem (the New Heaven and New Earth) and the non believer will reside in the Lake of Fire.
  • The belief in the arrival of the Messiah (which was the First Coming; in which Yeshua was born of a virgin and took on a mortal form which was not corrupted by sin and the sin nature, and fulfilled the other Messianic prophecies); and the Second Coming, the 7-Year Tribulation, and the 1000-year Messianic Era.
  • The belief in the resurrection of the dead who are in Yeshua the Messiah (that is, the fallen asleep) at the Second Coming--just as Yeshua was resurrected on the Third Day after he died on a Cross for our sins--, the Rapture of the resurrected fallen asleep and of the living in Yeshua the Messiah, and the Final Judgement of the dead who were not Raptured or saved in the Messianic Era--which is to come after the Tribulation and Messianic Era, and in which the dead who are not found in the Book of Life will be condemned to the Second Death and the Lake of Fire.


  • By the way (Messianic Jews and gentiles only), please correct me if and where I am wrong.
