The Statement of Faith contains the central beliefs of Outreach Israel Ministries and Messianic Apologetics. The Second Statement details a number of secondary and debated matters, witnessed across the Messianic spectrum.
The topic of eternal punishment is one of the most unpleasant and least desirable which any Bible teacher will ever have to discuss. I myself get no sense of enthusiasm, excitement, anticipation—and certainly no joy—out of the requirement of how any discussion on death, the afterlife, and human destiny, requires an analysis of what happens to the unredeemed. This is something which simply has to be addressed, and one which the author of Hebrews actually considered to be elementary to people of faith (Hebrews 6:2). To only address the positive side of human destiny, and not the negative side, would be a dereliction of a responsible teacher’s duty to the Biblical message and story.
Death is one of the most difficult topics which any human being ever has to deal with. None of us likes dealing with the death of a family member, a close friend, or even people we do not know but still admire. Many people regularly visit the gravesite of a loved one, whereas others have their remains cremated and scattered into the wind. Even if you do not regularly visit a cemetery where your loved one may be buried, thoughts and memories of the deceased will undoubtedly still come to your mind from time to time, and the last memory you may have of such a person—that of your loved one’s funeral—is perhaps what you remember.
The Holy Scriptures give us as Believers a great deal of comfort, as we know that we will see those who die in the faith again. Those of us who believe in the doctrine of resurrection, know that a gravesite is not the final destination.

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee discusses how a negative orientation toward One Law/One Torah theology, does not mean dismissing non-Jewish Believers who have embraced things like the seventh-day Sabbath/Shabbat, appointed times/moedim, or a kosher-style of diet. A better way than “one law” or “one statute” has to be found, though. This is something which focuses on the dynamics of the New Covenant, a person’s growth in holiness, and furtherance in love for God and neighbor.
