Under point four you talk about Christ's kingdom. Do you believe that means that Christ will reign for a literal 1,000 years on earth after His Second Coming?

Yes, we do believe that.

The Torah service is somewhat similar to Jewish services, however during that time we also read from the New Testament. During praise and worship, we have dancers dancing very Israeli dances. Some of the liturgy is spoken in Hebrew.
Ooh, liturgical dance. Neat. \:D/

I have no questions, either.

What kind of things do Messianics do on the Sabbath? I am a Seventh-day Adventist so I keep it as well. I was wandering if they are more like us where the day is devoted to G-d but you can do things like take a walk or do work if it can bring someone to G-d or are you guys more othodox as in you follow the Jewish law where no work at all is allowed?

It is different with each person or family. Generally, we believe that on that day we should take a break from our normal work and rest. We should set aside the Sabbath for God and the people we love. You can certainly take a walk and work to help bring someone to God. You can do work if your boss says you have to. There is really no law set in stone about the Sabbath at our congregation. Some people are more lenient on what is acceptable on the Sabbath and what is not, while others are more strict. Like I said before, it differs with each person or family. Our congregation is not very orthodox when it comes to the Sabbath, however we do try to make the Sabbath special by focusing on God and our loved ones.

some people go as far as not using a telephone. I'm half Jewish and my mom isn't the jewish one lol but she goes to kinda like a messianic thingy. and my mom thinks that you shouldn't spend money on the sabbath. (which I don't agree with cause...then she won't take me shopping or anything lol) but it says something like that in the Bible. so I'm sorry for butting in, Sapphire.
