Which group or camp do you belong?

WHICH GROUP ARE YOU A CITIZEN OF?
(IN THE EYES OF THE CREATOR, YAHUAH)

"Obey the Commandments of Elohim AND hold to the Testimony of Yahusha".

Group #1: There are those who are born in the Covenant (Torah) yet don't believe that Yahusha is the Mashiach; these are usually called "Jews" by modern terminology. As long as they observe the Covenant, they are "ISRAEL". They don't "hold to the Testimony of Yahusha", so they are not "first-fruits" - but because of the Covenant they are ISRAEL.

Group #2: There are those who "hold to the Testimony of Yahusha", but DON'T observe the Commandments of Yahuah (the Covenant, or Torah). They feel that simply "believing" is all that is necessary -- anything beyond that is attempting to "save" themselves. They are also taught that the "Old Covenant" (Commandments) were "done away", or "nailed to the cross", and that only "Jews" have to obey the Covenant, the 10 Commandments. They feel they are "spiritual Israel" through their belief in Yahusha. Because of this, they are victims of "Replacement Theology", and we can see clearly that this group is not the "first-fruits" spoken of at Rev. 14 either. But, most dangerously, because they don't observe the Covenant, they are NOT ISRAEL, and therefore are not in any "Covenant relationship" with Yahuah in any way -- although they are taught that they are. They don't "obey the Commandments of Elohim", therefore they cannot be ISRAEL. Ephesians 2 explains that we become citizens of Israel through the Covenant, and Yahusha is the Mediator of it, writing it upon our hearts. This group must continue to believe in Yahusha, and ENGRAFT into ISRAEL by observing the Commandments of Yahuah, as He wrote them.

Group #3: Those who "obey the Commandments of Elohim AND hold to the Testimony of Yahusha" are the "first-fruits", and are called Natsarim (watchmen, branches), or Nazarene Israel. "foreigners" are "formerly Gentiles in the flesh"; but when they believe AND obey, they become ISRAEL -- they are NO LONGER GENTILES.
