Yahweh's children have the inherent, natural right, to proclaim membership in His true Congregation. You may freely, and voluntarily participate in the Natural Congregation of Yahweh as you feel comfortable, with no strings attached! Participation is a private matter between you and Yahweh! No-one else need know - or everyone may know; its entirely up to you! Yahweh loves you and so do we! When the Messiah said, "I will build MY Congregation" (Matt. 16:18), He meant it! He confirmed that His Congregation is: "the GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CONGREGATION OF THE FIRSTBORN WHO ARE REGISTERED IN HEAVEN" (Hebrews 12:23). We will all partake of Yahweh's registry according to His good and perfect Will. The Natural Congregation of Yahweh does not presume to proclaim who are, or who are not its "members", nor does it maintain any man-made "registration" protocol. it is perfectly clear to the members of the Natural Congregation of Yahweh, that when other evangelical organizations maintain "membership" registrations, or "baptismal" requirements, then they are surely competing with Yahweh! The Natural Congregation of Yahweh proclaims no other teacher, pastor, leader, founder, or administrator, than the Messiah, and we humbly accept that, "One is our Teacher, the Messiah, AND WE ARE ALL BRETHREN" (Matt.23:8-12). Members of the Natural Congregation of Yahweh continually gather themselves together of one accord, to share in fellowship and to celebrate Yahweh's weekly Sabbaths and annual Holy Days. Your participation and involvement is welcomed! Therefore, "let us continually offer the SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO YAHWEH, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name. But do not forget to DO GOOD AND to SHARE, FOR WITH SUCH SACRIFICES YAHWEH IS WELL PLEASED"! (Heb. 13:15,16) Yahweh’s Congregation is a spiritual organism, or organization of spiritual members, but it is not a “spiritual” church per se, in the true context of the word’s meaning. Members of Yahweh's Congregation are natural men, spiritual in nature, not spirits that are men in nature. Our membership is diverse and scattered in many parts of the world, leaving it difficult if not impossible for many of us to enjoy any physical fellowship with one another. Our faith is universal and our commitment to fellowship in the presence of His Holy Spirit is also, hence we have helped to overcome the distance factor by utilizing this wonderful tool called the internet. Basically, those of us that are within reasonable proximities enjoy physical fellowship while all of us enjoy an electronic fellowship which we have learned can be very rewarding and effective.
The “we” that is used in much of our electronic fellowship correspondence is done so for more than one reason related to this fellowship. Our responses to general inquiries on the issue of fellowship for example, end up as the result of input from several of our members. Typically when our web-site prompts an inquiry, that inquiry is automatically and randomly relayed to one of several dozen volunteer “correspondents” that are interested in learning how to help others. They craft an initial response which is then randomly forwarded to one of our more experienced correspondence members for review. This review typically results in comments and suggestions being returned to the students for their consideration,final editing and direct response to the initial inquirer.
The result of this multiple “vetting” of inquiries, is that many of our members become immediately involved in the questions, concerns and problems of our readership, thereby exposing everyone to a diverse opportunity to experience life and life’s issues from new perspectives. “We” have found this venue offers a very rewarding and practical way for many of us to share our love, to learn, and hopefully to grow in the grace and character of our Father and His Messiah.
So when you share a positive thought about our site, or when you write to us with an inquiry, the result is warmly received by the many that will contribute to your response. It seems thus to fulfill the primary purpose of “fellowship” – that of rejoicing for being enabled to truly help one another.
Also, the “we” is such that no one of us can take any personal credit for sharing or helping or listening or praying for anyone that asks. We all recognize that freely we have received from Yahweh, hence freely we shall give to His children. A free gift from Yahweh cannot come with any obligations for personal recognition. “We” have been truly blessed by your invitations to communicate – to help – to fellowship with you! Grace and peace to you, from our Father, Yahweh, and Yah'shua our Messiah!
