* The [[Old Testament]] and the [[New Testament]] are [[Biblical inspiration|divinely inspired]], without [[Biblical inerrancy|error]], and are the final authority in all matters of faith and life. Traditional [[rabbinic literature|Jewish literature]] is in no way binding upon life or faith but of value only where it is supported by or conformable to the Word of God.
* There is one sovereign God, existing in [[Trinity|three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit]]. They believe that this concept is rooted in Judaism.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jewsforjesus.org/publications/issues/issues-v10-n08/a-look-at-the-trinity-from-a-messianic-jewish-perspective/|title=A Look at the Trinity From a Messianic Jewish Perspective|website=Jews for Jesus|date=3 July 1996 }}</ref>
* Mankind was created in the [[image of God]], but due to sin has been separated from God.
* Jesus is the [[Messiah]] and died for the sin of mankind as a [[substitutionary sacrifice]]. All who believe in Him have salvation.
* The Church is an [[Election in Christianity|elect]] people in accordance with the New Covenant, comprising both Jews and Gentiles who acknowledge Jesus as Messiah and Redeemer.
* Jesus will [[second Coming|return personally]] in order to consummate the prophesied purposes concerning His kingdom.
* The bodily [[Universal resurrection|resurrection]] of the just and the unjust, the everlasting [[Heaven|blessedness]] of the saved and the everlasting [[Christian views on Hell|conscious punishment]] of the lost.
