The only organized congregations available in my area are Orthodox Jews who just accepted a homosexual Rabbi, 7th Day Adventist of the Puritan faith & a so-called Messianic congregation that pretty much follows the same doctrine that I came out of, but preaches on rapture & end times. I guess they really don't understand what Messianic means yet.
Jesus is not merely a man, but the Jewish Messiah and “God the Son” (one person of the Trinity)
This is where I have a problem, the Scriptures are not exactly clear on this point & to make it be a litmus test for membership is not Scriptural. As believers, the Holy Spirit also resides in us. That is the Spirit that returns when our flesh dies, our souls remain asleep until they are taken up when Messiah returns. So how this all connects is still mystery yet to be revealed. The hope of what is not known which is true faith.
Any Jewish laws or customs that are followed are cultural and do not contribute to attaining salvation
So you do not observe the Appointed times (Holy Convocations & Sabbaths) & days of YHVH or HIS weekly Sabbath or the personal Torah instructions? Or do you mean the oral law & customs not contained in the Torah?
That part.
People can become confused about the Trinity. It's not 1+1+1 = 3 but 1x1x1 = 1
All that YHVH can mean to us is in the person of Yashua. YHVH is Spirit (not A spirit) and must be worshiped in spirit. A believer receives YHVH the Holy Spirit when they first believe and HE never leaves them.
