The plan of salvation that God has given us is a simple process that He has outlined in His Word.\u00a0 Acceptance that Jesus Christ died for your sins is as simple as believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that you accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once you have accepted Jesus Christ into your life you have become\u00a0a child of God and you need to get to know your heavenly Father. God knows all about you, but you need to know Him in an intimate and personal way. One way to do this is through prayer. Prayer is just talking with God. Start with 5 or 10 minutes each day. Make prayer a part of your life; for example, ask God to bless your food.<\/p>\n
Another thing you must do to get to know God is to have daily Bible study and meditations. Set aside a specific time each day to read your Bible. Start with the New Testament; read as much as you are personally able to grasp. For some it may be one verse; or it may be one chapter, depending on the person.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Below you will find information and Scriptures to guide you in the process of growing in your new relationship with Jesus Christ.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Origin of Man\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In the beginning God created the heavens and earth, and all things in the heavens and the earth.

As a result, man was cut off from God.<\/span><\/p>\n II. JESUS CHRIST IS MY SAVIOR AND LORD<\/span><\/p>\n Son of God, Born to Man to Save the World\u00a0 God has a plan that will reconcile man to Himself, His Son, Jesus Christ!\u00a0<\/p>\n There Is Only One Way<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Acceptance of Christ is the only way to be reconciled to God.\u00a0<\/p>\n Everyone will Acknowledge Jesus Christ\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n God placed Jesus above everything and everyone. All will have to acknowledge Jesus as Lord!\u00a0<\/p>\n III. I AM REALLY BORN AGAIN<\/span><\/p>\n I have Repented and Turned Away From Sin<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Repentance is an integral part of the salvation experience. It is being sincerely sorrowful for your sinfulness,\u00a0having a changed mind and deciding to be <\/span><\/p>\n no longer a part of this world, but to walk in righteousness with Christ Jesus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I have Openly Confessed Jesus Christ\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n With your mouth and from your heart, openly confess before men Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord.<\/p>\n I Am Saved Regardless of How I Feel\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Cast out all doubts about your salvation. God says in His Word that salvation is a gift to all who accept Jesus Christ. God\u2019s Word is truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n IV. I WILL STAY IN LINE WITH GOD\u2019S WORD<\/span><\/p>\n Communicate with God in Prayer\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Prayer is your privilege as a believer. It is a private relationship between you and God through verbal communication.\u00a0Prayer is sincere conversation with God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Always Give God Thanks and Praise\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n God inhabits the praises of His people. Give God thanks and praise for who He is and what He has done.\u00a0<\/p>\n Study God\u2019s Word, Know It Is True\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n God has unveiled Himself to us through His Word. Trust His Word and allow it to guide you into righteousness.\u00a0<\/p>\n Be Baptized\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Water Baptism is an outward sign of an inward new birth.<\/p>\n Confess Your Sins to God Immediately\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Make a humble confession of your sins to God. He is faithful and just to forgive you.<\/p>\n V. I WILL ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST<\/span><\/p>\n Give God First Place\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Make God first in your life and you will lack nothing.<\/p>\n Give to God in Service, Tithes and Offerings\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n God gave Jesus because He loves us. We give to the Kingdom of God because we love Him.<\/span><\/p>\n VI. I WILL REMEMBER THESE THINGS<\/span><\/p>\n Walk In Love\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Love never fails.

For some it may be one verse; or it may be one chapter, depending on the person.
Now that you are born again, it is important for you to join a Bible-believing, Bible-teaching church. It is the Word of God that will keep you steadfast in your walk with Him. God\u2019s Word says that faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
Here at FTHCM, we offer several activities that will help you to grow as a Christian. You do not have to be a member of FTHCM to take advantage of the New Converts Class, Men\u2019s Fellowship, Women of God: Lifegivers, Special Needs, Sunday Worship Services and Tuesday Night Bible Study.
If you have any questions about what happened to you today, please call the Church and ask to speak with a minister. The telephone number is (301) 899-9411 and our fax number is (301) 899-2029. <\/p>\n\n\n\n1. I AM A CREATION OF GOD<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
In the beginning God created the heavens and earth, and all things in the heavens and the earth. Then God made man! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
God gave man dominion over everything He created in the earth. Then God gave man one specific instruction. Man disobeyed God, thereby allowing sin to enter the world. As a result, man was cut off from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. JESUS CHRIST IS MY SAVIOR AND LORD<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>God has a plan that will reconcile man to Himself, His Son, Jesus Christ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acceptance of Christ is the only way to be reconciled to God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
God placed Jesus above everything and everyone. All will have to acknowledge Jesus as Lord! <\/p>\n\n\n\n3. I AM REALLY BORN AGAIN<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Repentance is an integral part of the salvation experience. It is being sincerely sorrowful for your sinfulness, having a changed mind and deciding to be no longer a part of this world, but to walk in righteousness with Christ Jesus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With your mouth and from your heart, openly confess before men Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cast out all doubts about your salvation. God says in His Word that salvation is a gift to all who accept Jesus Christ. God\u2019s Word is truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n4. I WILL STAY IN LINE WITH GOD\u2019S WORD<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Prayer is your privilege as a believer. It is a private relationship between you and God through verbal communication. Prayer is sincere conversation with God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>God inhabits the praises of His people. Give God thanks and praise for who He is and what He has done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
God has unveiled Himself to us through His Word. Trust His Word and allow it to guide you into righteousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Water Baptism is an outward sign of an inward new birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Make a humble confession of your sins to God. He is faithful and just to forgive you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n5. I WILL ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Make God first in your life and you will lack nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God gave Jesus because He loves us. We give to the Kingdom of God because we love Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n6. I WILL REMEMBER THESE THINGS<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Love never fails. We are commanded to love one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love and forgiveness are synonymous. We cannot love without forgiveness; we cannot forgive without loving. When we forgive others, God in turn forgives us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus has given us the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christ dwells within you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Help others to a fulfilling and eternal life. Share Jesus with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
