Meet the CACI
Covenant Apostolics are Acts 2:38, Spirit-Filled believers who honor God's original 7th Day Sabbath and celebrate the great festivals found in the scriptures. We are linked through a rapidly expanding network of congregations, bible study groups, and ministers.
The twentieth century brought great light back into Christianity. Several scripturally focused movements began to resist the pagan influences of Rome. Among these are millions who have discovered the true 7th Day Sabbath, rejected the deeply pagan celebrations of Christmas and Easter (Solstice & Equinox), and reestablished the New Covenant practice of observing biblical feast days "regarding them unto the Lord".
Add to that the Apostolic Faith movement embracing the Biblical gifts of the Spirit, Spirit-filled worship, and the "Acts 2:38" message. What has emerged is a vibrant, Spirit-filled group of believers who are passionately connected to the Messiah and boldly living out the culture of His coming Kingdom! Our passion is to experience and share the Authentic Gospel of the Kingdom around the world.
Not Rabbinic...
The Messianic movement is often more about pretending to be Jewish than discovering the original Apostolic Faith.
Many things that both Jesus and the Apostles sternly taught against are commonly celebrated in Messianic groups. Why? Simply because they are false traditions embraced by Rabbinic Judaism.
For example;
The Scriptures reprimand Israel for adopting the Star as her symbol. This star has no biblical connection to David, but rather is called in the bible 'The star of your god Remphan' Acts 7:43
Also, the Apostle Paul taught that men should never cover their heads in Apostolic Assemblies, when praying or addressing the congregation. Yet, wearing the Rabbinic 'yarmulke' is common among Messianics.
The origin of the word yarmulke is "Yaar" which means "to fear", and "Mulke" which is the name of the pagan god "Molek" and can be interpreted as king.
While the Yaar-Mulke (Fear Molek) cap is certainly not Torah compliant, it is common among the non-biblical traditions of Rabbinic Judaism. Therefore it is a beloved emblem in Messianic circles.
Another example is the Rabbinic renaming of Yom Teruah (Day of Trumpets) as Rosh Hashana (Head of the Year).
This tradition moved the New Year from springtime near April, to the fall in late September.
This is significant because God Himself had set the “First month of the year” to be in spring when things begin to show life and turn green. [Exodus 12:2]
This is yet another example of the willingness of the Messianic movement to ignore Scripture in order to embrace anything that connects to Judaism.
It is important to understand that “Judaism” and the “Jewish People” are not the same thing. We, along with Jesus, reject the man-made “religion” of Judaism, while praying for and loving the “Jewish People” who have been trapped by it.
