"This specific doctrine defines the Movement's identity and distinguishes it from the teachings of Messianic Judaism, which can be better understood as an ethnic religion rather than keeping with the universalismfound in Christianity as a whole.
The Hebrew Roots Movement adopts the Two House Theology description of the Church, as a union of the Southern Kingdom of Judah, consisting of ethnic Jews and the Northern Kingdom of Israel (Samaria), governed by the Tribe of Ephraim, consisting of the Ten Lost Tribes scattered among the nations, in the Assyrian Exile. The Hebrew Roots Movement is understood to be the return of the Northern Kingdom to its national identity under Christ the King. This national identity is not an ethnicone, as the people of the Northern Kingdom would have lost their ethnicand cultural purity while in exile. Instead, the restored Kingdom of Israel is defined as a mixed multitude of ethnically Gentile peoples, with a trace of Israelite heritage among their communities, adopting the Christian faith as a whole. This is known as the Ephraim Awakening. The Church, therefore, is the Restored Kingdom of Israel (United Monarchy) consisting of Jewish People, who have not rejected the kingship of Christ, as well as Gentile peoples that have returned to Christ from the nations, through the Tribe of Ephraim...The Hebrew Roots Movement is most known for advocating an adherence to Mosaic Law, laid out in the Pentateuch, among all peoples, both Jewish and Gentile. This is due to the doctrine that the Mosaic Law is eternal, having been taught to the prophet Adam and passed down throughout the ages, guided by the Divine Inspiration of the Holy Spirit, down to the prophet Moses, who codified it in writing. This implies that the Mosaic Law is as eternal as Godhimself and an unchanging criteria for a complete relationship with Him. The Movement thus rejects the concept of a Noahide Law, given to the Gentiles, as taught by Messianic Jews, because the Law given to the prophet Noah would be the same as that which is written in the Pentateuch. Therefore, an adherence to the Mosaic Law would be expected of all the people of God, regardless of ethnicity."
