    Fellowship Church

    Welcome & New MembersOrientation

    Introduction

    International Faith Christian Fellowship Church (IFCFC) was founded in

    1992 in Brooklyn, New York, by Bishop Dr. Evan Grant. IFCFC is a faith

    based Ministry with a yearning for souls. IFCFC is dedicated to fulfill Gods

    commission to the Church and the Gospel of Jesus our crucified Savior.

    IFCFC is committed to preach, and teach the gospel of Gods Holy Kingdom

    until every nation hears, knows, receives, and accepts the gospel which

    imparts salvation.Matthew 24:14 states And this gospel of the kingdom shall

    be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the

    end come.

    IFCFC is structured solely on biblical principles. These principles will

    encourage and support your walk with Jesus as a follower of Christ, anddevelop your discipleship. You will be convicted to live a Godly lifestyle,

    within the world without worldliness.

    Roman 12:1-2 states I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of

    God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God

    which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but

    transform yourself by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is

    that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

    IFCFC believe in the promises of God, and requires believers to be truestewards within the ministry, and return a tenth (10%) of your earnings in

    tithes, planting seed faith and other ministry offerings. In doing so, believers

    will secure the blessings of heaven in their life and obtain prosperity. Malachi

    3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in

    house, and prove me now herewith, saith the lord of hosts, if I will not open

    you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not

    be room enough to receive it.

    Please know that every one is a special asset to the ministry. We welcomeyour presence, talents, resources, needs, cooperation and good repute. We

    believe in serving our community in restoring what has been lost, stolen or

    destroyed by the enemy. We diligently work within nursing homes, rehab

    centers, prisons, correction centers, juvenile programs and provide

    supplementary food packages to distressed families and individuals. You are

    more than welcome, to work in any area to which you called, or in which

    you will be a blessing.

    In our ministry there is no FEAR:

    Fear is: False Evidence Appearing Real.

    We believe there is only one true God, and that is the God of the Bible. The

    God of our fore father Abraham.

    In our ministry we always PUSH: through trials, tribulations, hardships,

    disbeliefs, acts of unholiness, deceptions, unforgiveness. When we PUSH

    we Pray until something supernatural happens.

    Welcome, esteemed visitors, friends, and guests! We are truly honored to

    have you with us, and pray that you, and your family will find a special

    place with our family of God. We look forward to seeing you in all of our

    Gods Plan for Salvation

    THE PLAN OF SALVATION FROM THE WORD.

    What must I do?Jesus stated inJohn 3:3Verily, verily I say unto you, except a man be born again

    he cannot see the Kingdom of God.

    When the Holy Spirit convicts, he shines the light on all that is unrighteous or

    impure. You will become abundantly aware of what is wrong in your life. Yet, you

    will have no way to fix it. You need a change.

    1. Acknowledge Jesus. The first step toward salvation is acknowledging

    and accepting the fact that you need a change in your life. You need a

    savior. It is important to know there is no other name given whereby

    men might be saved.Acts 2:21, And it shall come to pass, that

    whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts

    4:12Neither is there Salvation in any other name given among men,whereby we must be saved.

    2. Repent. Repent means you want to turn to Jesus. You run away long

    enough. It is now time to Jesus allow him to take you to the

    sanctuary of our Fathers bosom, where you shall be comforted and

    protected. Do not look back; repent from your heart. This is not with

    your head or your lips. You must be genuinely sorry for your style of

    living and willing to make that change. 2 Corinthians 7:10 For

    godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of:but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Talk to Jesus about

    whats going on in your life. Confess. 1 John 1:9 states, if we

    confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to

    cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    3. Ask. Now ask Jesus to forgive your sins. Ask Him into your heart,

    to be your Lord and Savior, and your best friend. Jesus will not

    refuse. He promised inJohn 6:37, All that the Father giveth me

  • 8/14/2019 International Faith Christian Fellowship Book

    7/16

    shall come to me, and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast

    out.

    4. Believe. You must believe that you are whole; that you are saved.

    Romans 10:10, For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;

    and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Do not be

    moved by what you feel, simply believe.

    5. Set Free .Now live! For you are set free from the bondage of sin and

    death. You are saved; you decided to make a change. You are a new

    creature in Christ Jesus.John 8:36 states, If the son therefore shall

    make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Jesus not only made you

    free, he reconciled you back to God.

    RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A FREE GIFT FROM GOD

    2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no

    sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

    Roman 5:15 But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through

    the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the

    gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto

    many.

    16, And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment

    was by one condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses unto

    justification.17, For if by one mans offense death reigned by one; much mire they

    which receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall

    reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.

    International Faith ChristianFellowship Church

    Therefore, seeing we have this Ministry, as wehave received mercy, we faint not; but haverenounced the hidden things of dishonesty, notwalking in craftiness, nor handling the word ofGod deceitfully; but by manifestation of thetruth commending ourselves to every mansconscience in the sight of God.

    But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them thatare lost: in whom the god of this world hathblinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God should shine untothem.

    For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesusthe Lord; and ourselves your servant for Jesussake. For God who commanded the light toshine out of darkness, hath shined in ourhearts, to give the light of the knowledge ofthe glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

    2 Corinthians 4 1-6

    HOLINESS

    1 Peter 1: 14 16, As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves

    according to the former lusts in your ignorance. But as he, which called

    you, is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is

    written, be ye holy; for I am holy.

    1. In the verbal inspiration of the Bible

    2. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely the Father, Son

    and Holy Ghost

    3. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of

    the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified

    buried and raised from the dead. That he ascended to heaven and is

    today at the right hand of the Father as the intercessor.

    4. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and

    repentance is commanded of god for all and necessary for forgiveness

    of sin.

    5. That Justification, Regeneration, and the new birth, are wrought by

    faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

    6. In Sanctification subsequent to the new birth through faith in the

    blood of Jesus Christ, through the word, and by the Holy Ghost.

    7. Holiness to be Gods standard of living for His people

    8. In the Baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.

    9. In speaking with other tongue as the Spirit gives utterance and that it

    is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

    10.In Water baptism by immersion and all who repent should be baptized

    in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

    11.Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.

    12.In the Lords Supper and washing of the saints feet.

    13.In the Pre Millennial, second coming of Jesus, first to resurrect the

    righteous dead and to catch away the living saints from Him in the air.Second, to reign the earth a thousand years.

    14.In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal

    punishment for the wicked.
