Email: [email protected] The Personal Testimony Of Evangelist -Founder - Chaplain Jimmie Wayne Warren a sinner like all others. I serve our Father YAHWEH and by his Grace and salvation thru his only begotten son JESUS / Yeshua Messiah, I am Saved by the blood of his only begotten Son! It is thru Faith That Jesus the Christ is the Son of God,who died for ALL MANKIND'S SINS . Amen!

To begin, I was born in March 1947 in the state of Missouri, I became an Evangelist for our God (ELOHIM) The Almighty YAHWEH and his only begotten son, " YESHUA MESSIAH " or JESUS the CHRIST many years after being raised from birth as a Christian, I am now a humble servant of God and Past fellow sinner, as you all are.

I have the title of President and Founder of Simple Salvation Church of God, which was started and is inspired by MY PARTNER & MASTER,THE HOLY SPIRIT of God, back in February 1994 to this present day: I was lead to do church work on the Internet BY A CLOSE FRIEND, Brother Mike Leroy Webb (who has now gone ahead to be with the Lord) Along with his son Michael Webb, who designed our early website making it possible that I could preach on the Internet way back in early Febuary 1994. I had started doing a public TV. Show which after prayer I called Simple Salvation, by the way, the name of our church came to me to use this same name while I was in prayer before it was chartered. Mike Webb's brother Jerry Webb (who had died a few years before his brother Mike and is now also with the Lord) help me go to Cox Cable Public T.V

It was Jerry who told me Cox would teach my how to do even direct my own T.V shows,so I prayed about it and started in February 1994. I had been bouncing back and forth between churches after I had left the World-Wide Church of God in 1975 read more about me on my calling article here on this site.

 I had finished 5 T.V. shows then I decided to quit doing the Telecast shows. Although it was being watched and helping people a few started asking me questions about what Church organization I was with and Who had Ordained Me and so, I kept quoting “ John 15:16 " You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.”

See we are all called and ordained by God not man in sharing his word so I quit because Mans world needs papers to prove you are from God to do wedding or even to rent a building to hold church services,I had no papers at that time and even said I was a Lay-person with speaking experience and lots of Bible studies and learning I was 47 years old at the time. After waiting and doing nothing else I started asking God what he wanted me to do with all the training I had been taught and the abilities he had given me to use? Because I was not ordained by any church at that time, nor am I a writer, as most can tell by reading this, I felt not ready to finish the T.V SHOWS?

It took me five years later to become legally ordained as a minister of God on October 4th 1999. I want all you to know I was raised in the back of my grand mother Mrs.Lotti Brown who was a Pentecost minister of Jesus Christ in St. Louis Missouri for over fifty years so I gave my heart to Jesus when I was about four years old I always talked about Jesus to kids every where I was while we played. My grand mother told me and I didn't listen like any other kid,she said Jimmie one day you are going to be an evangelist it took thirty years and many sermons to finally get me to serve which I shall do until my death. Amen now for the rest of this article ,just wanted to add a little more about my back ground I am not a beginner I have studied the bible and read hundreds of books about our Lord Jesus and his return so please read what i have put on this site it is here to help you grow in your spirit. I was doing bible studies and thinking if I should start a church but there are two many churches then after praying about what to do, a friend suggested I check out ULC on the internet, and it was another five years to become a fully chartered church. The Lord Yeshua put in my mind to help others like me, who wanted to open a church or soup line or even some who were brave enough to do prison work. I started ordaining other men and women to go forth with the Good News that Jesus Christ or in Hebrew "Yeshua Messiah" is coming back to Judge this world soon! Then the Lord lead me to name this church : "Simple Salvation Church of God" which was chartered as a full service church on the Internet on Feb.12th 2006 to Present Day and as long as God permits us to keep going around the world we will do what he commands and wills us to do in His work. As of 2022 we now have over 90 ordained Men and Women opening their own churches or soup kitchens or prison ministry all called by God from being on our site.Amen!All Praise be to God,it is done only by his calling! Here are some of my past sins, which I believe lead me to serve and Praise Our God Elohim " YAHWEH"!

I was raised by God fearing parents with my mothers Mom (Ms.Lotti Brown) who being a Pentecostal minister taught the Good News of the coming kingdom of God being here on earth! I went to Sunday services every time I spent the night with my grandmother and my youngest aunt Wanda, who was just 5 years older than me. We grew up in church together more like brother and sister as we were so close in age ,until teenage hit, then like other teenagers, Aunt Wonda started listening to " American Bandstand " and a new singer named ELVIS!

My aunt Wonda showed me how to dress like teenagers by the time I was Ten. Now I am not blaming her she was just a young teenager who wanted to go out and have fun like they rest of the world was doing. I was getting girls to notice me in grade school,also a lot of boys did too and they would get jealous and hit me and make fun of me but I aunt was a tough girl ,if she heard about a older boy hitting on me she would go after him and beat him up.She would teach me how to fight but I did not like hurting others so I would run. Better to hear the words "there he goes,instead of here he lays"! I started sneaking around smoking like all the rest of the teenagers,except I was only eleven or twelve.My aunt went wild-eyed into "rock and roll, she had boy friends for her age 14-15 while I was to young to know about the other sex yet, I discovered girls however liked the way I acted and the way I dressed because my aunt would help me dress and act like the guys on the American Bandstand. Later in the early 1960's where the Moto was "drugs, sex, and rock n roll" I fell head long into dancing driving fast cars and drinking with less and less church going,getting farther and farther away from Jesus and didn't even notice Satan was pulling me faster and faster towards him.

At that Time the girls became just as wild as the boys thanks to birth control pills, I was with lots of free loving girls about 16-18 we were all in love or what we thought love was, until some found out the hard way it wasn't love, it was only lust! Then of course we both wondered off from God and forgot our teaching of Jesus.God thru his love and Grace never gives up on people, never ever when you have been called he is there right beside you,waiting for you to come back to his love ! All thanks and PRAISE to Him for his loving GRACE and FORGIVENESS ! Amen.

Later some ministers tried to talk to me but, I said " take your God and go to hell", I was really angry with God and religion He took my only love and girl friend, gave me kidney stones and now, my Mother was killed,and I was still alive? I could just come out healed and maybe go to Vietnam War to fight for a war I did not even believe in, For What I thought? Then I remembered what my mom had said only a month or two ago "Jimmie you have got to change your life or God may do something to get you back to him. Oh!, did those words hit hard, later while healing in the hospital where this time I spent two weeks and had to wear a leg cast from my hip to my foot I suffered for months ,the cast I wore until April 1966 four long months,a life time of woe and misery! It took more to finally get me to the bottom of life where I ask God to show me the way he wanted me to go or just put me out of this life forever. I was born again on September 3rd 1967 and the accident saved me from going to war thank God. I lost a lot of classmates in that Vietnam war and for what?

This work is for all those who have had it with old time religion, If you are tired of FALSE TEACHING and Non-Biblical truth’s; If you really want to be free in the LORD JESUS CHRIST, then this is one of the many places to come ,you can come to learn about the real Jesus and what he taught in the Bible through articles written here for anyone to read. Read our beliefs statement to see we follow the Bible and not a church doctrine. I have been with many diverse churches along my path of searching for truth. I was first baptized at a very young age through my dear grandmother’s Pentecostal church in Saint Louis, MO. in 1960, at age 13. Later In Oct.1962 when we all thought we were going to die from A-Bombs I was baptized again, this time at the age of 15, in the CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST in Livermore, California.

But as human nature would have it back to the same old life style. I was going to church and Bible studies and Spokesman Club all to change and come back to God. Then FINALLY on Sept.03 1967 at Age 20, I asked the Lord back in my life for real ! After many years of being in with the wrong crowd of booze, drugs, and Free Love. The Lord let me hit bottom, until I was sick of my life of drinking and running around . Then I repented,The Lord lead me into the WORLD-WIDE CHURCH OF GOD in Oakland, California. Later on moving to southern Cal. where their Head Quarter's Ambassador College is in Pasadena, CA. I thought I had finally found the so called true church of God!

Through the help of the Holy Spirit I receive most of my biblical training and spokesman skills with the WORLD-WIDE CHURCH OF GOD from the years 1966-1976. After ten years with this church, God used a new calling in the search for his true word. I started visiting many other churches seeking bible knowledge to further gain wisdom in helping others find their way to more truth. The real TRUE CHURCH OF GOD IS SPIRITUAL - IT IS NOT IN ANY BUILDING OR ANY OF THE CHURCHES WHO CLAIM TO BE THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE CHURCH. You see you can not put God in a box with a high steeple then say he is here and we have the only truth and the rest of the Christian churches are all wrong? STOP THE FIGHTING, NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE, WE ARE ALL SINNERS !

In 1976 with my good friend Minister Mike Webb and I started studying our bibles every week. It was then I becoming a visiting minister to those who had left their different churches, or who had lost their contact to God, all because of Religious ideological differences. Again a lot of these people were asked to leave their own church, just because they dared to ask questions from God's Holy Bible. They were told to follow their so called Leader of their churches until their leaders changed to what the Bible showed something they failed to be doing. Now I ask is that a loving church of God or a mans church with righteous men who want to be dictator's,you decide. Check out your church and ask questions, questions from your Bible, see if your church is doing what is right , IF NOT, FIND A NEW CHURCH!

Later I began holding Bible studies in homes of those who wanted to meet and learn more of God’s freedom. I was lead by The Holy Ghost to help those who felt Lost and abandoned after leaving or being kicked out of their churches.The one I had left taught "They where the only true church of God, because they kept the Old Testament Laws they taught about Holy Days (but,not all) the kept the 7th Day Sabbath which most cannot prove is on a Saturday, simply because they don't know when the first day of Creation was? So, how to have Saturday be the 7th day is a mystery to me? Read and study my article here on our site titled "LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU" I began to tell others "You can not be thrown out of God's true Church because, it is not in any certain organized religious church".

You see GOD'S REAL CHURCH IS SPIRITUAL, AGAIN IT IS NOT IN ANY ONE CHURCH BUILDING,OR CAMPUS OR HEADQUARTERS SOMEWHERE MEN MAKE THE LAWS AND DOCTRINES BUT, IT IS IN YOU,YES YOU ARE THE TRUE CHURCH AND THE KINGDOM IS WITHIN YOU THAT'S WHAT JESUS SAID!

Many who wanted to get back on the road to God and seek comfort in the Holy Spirit have asked me to have church services. Those who felt completely lost and who are seeking Bible truths will find it at our church site! If you have a open mind and ask Jesus to show you the real truth of His word, it is there for all to read in the bible, forget what you were told and read the your Bible for yourself and prove it for yourself. Amen Between the years 1976 - 1994 I really disliked that many so called Christian churches still taught the old HELLFIRE AND DAMNATION which is not even in the bible but the Catholic teaching has seeped into religion and man made doctrines are pulling our churches apart,even God hate religion it is FAITH and GRACE that saves you!

You see churches keep preaching HELL-FIRE because this is the only way they know of to keep people in line. (This doctrine is not even in your Bible as you will discover when you study with an open mind yourself ! ) I want others to share in the truth of the Bible to show that God really does love us and that God's salvation plan is simple and that our Father YAHWEH WILL SAVE ALL MANKIND WHEN YESHUA COMES BACK, THESE ORGANIZED CHURCHES cannot stand this real truth, God wants all mankind to be saved. The Holy Spirit showed me that I was called and ordained by God in John 15:16 when he put me back when I surrendered my life to do what he wanted me to do.

I except this truth in 1994, I was then ordained by the Universal Life Church of Modesto, Ca. on October 4 TH 1999. I was given the title Evangelist in Nov. 2000. Some people or officials have to have Prof with a piece of paper from some church to see your a minister to do work like prison work or rent a building to open a church or get a loan from someone who needs Prove to let you in and do the work of the Lord. OUR MAIN CALLING IS TO ORDAIN MEN AND WOMEN AND GIVE THEM THE PAPER THIS WORLD NEEDS YOU TO HAVE. Later I had to Resigned from The ULC Church on Feb. 2005, I felt I had to quit the ULC because they recognize Pagans and Satan ministers as the same as Christian ministers. I then became really ordained ,Through Saint Luke Evangelical Christian Church plus two other Christian churches to replace the ULC as of Nov. 2005. (see my credentials below)

With the help of my friends (Mike Webb now is gone on to the kingdom with our Father) & his son Michael Webb, and because of their know how on computers, worked and by the power of the Holy Ghost, they helped us greatly to start on doing our Inter Net Church which you are now reading and we hope learning some new word. We started the web site church called www.simplesalvation.org on Feb.1994. This site is for those who wish to express their views without condemnation from their own churches and for their freedom of their religion. Many other women and men ministers, have joined in writing articles to share the love of Jesus to all peoples. We are now in many other countries reaching out to a lost world in Jesus' name and for him alone , not of ourselves but, by Yeshua Messiah our KING!

We invite everyone from all walks of life to come and enjoy the many poems and written articles that our site's have to offer you and your loved one's. There are very different churches connected to us and we can agree on one thing for sure ,Jesus Christ is our Lord and is coming back soon! We now have 91 Independent ordained minister of Simple Salvation Church of God. We are all around this country with 6 other independent chartered churches,witch we chartered and have added as churches of God as they share this calling too. WE GIVE ALL PRAISE AND HONOR TO GOD ALMIGHTY OUR FATHER FOR EVERY THING DONE IN HIS NAME! There may be many views on this site that you may not like but, we feel everyone called by the Holy Spirit has been called and sees things in many different ways, and as long as they use the Bible to prove their point of views, then we can agree in most all things. We can also agree to disagree as long as it is ALL about Jesus/YESHUA MESSIAH!

I has been preaching for many years now on how simple it really is to be saved through JESUS CHRIST. We seek new truths ALL the time that can be proved by the holy Bible and we are searching for new ways to serve our fellow believer as the spirit moves. We have open hearts and minds as we look for the truth for it is by God who shows all truth and by his son only can we be saved in the sweet name of JESUS /YESHUA MESSIAH.

I was ordained also as a minister for Saint Luke's then also two other Christian churches to improve MY walk with God as I strive to be a good and faithful servant for the Lord. As an Evangelist/Bishop,Pastor/Archbishop I try to show continual service to my Lord and Master Jesus Christ.All the above are all titles of men bestowed on me but, I prefer to be called simply a humble servant of God as brother Warren. I also became a Chaplain with the United States Corps of Chaplains on Nov.22 2005 to better serve my fellow man. I was given the rank of Second Lieutenant in the Washington BGD 5TH DIVISION , and made Spokane Team Leader. After my first year I was promoted to 1st Lieutenant on October 10th 2006 and most recently after three years of service I was promoted to the rank of Captain on Feb 2008, then promoted and made Acting Commanding Officer for the WA BDE 5TH DIV USCOC. As of Sept 2008 I was raised in rank to Major and Commanding Officer for the 5TH DIV (in 2009) I retired and am doing More work for our Lord Yeshua through our Internet church by ordaining other men and women to go forth as our God said to do for the world to hear about SALVATION FOR ALL !

I humbly teach that to "BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST then, repenting of your sins, confess with your mouth OUT LOUD that JESUS is your LORD and MASTER ,KING OF KINGS , " YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE by Father God ELOHIM /Yahweh! (THIS is a sign of your new life in Christ Jesus and by Living by the Bible and acting like Christ ,YOU WILL BE FILLED by the Holy Spirit .This is being saved! Yes, You are saved when you except Jesus by change your ways of living a life of sin! This is all you need, the rest is pure religion folks. Reading YOUR BIBLE for what it really says YOURSELF, This IS YOUR WAY TO GET CLOSER TO GOD. The word of God will show you the truth. It tells you, That JESUS is the son of GOD and that he died on the cross (tree) and was RESURRECTED from the dead after three days and three nights in a grave ,then he rose again. Jesus Christ then ascended to the Father in Heaven and sits at his right hand. Jesus will return to this earth visibly soon! Be ready, Stop playing religion. Give your life to God! Have Faith, you are SAVED! Start thinking saved and you will stay saved for there is no power that can pull you away from God, you are now His child act like it, walk with your head up, your now a ex-sinner! By believing this, you will live forever with Jesus Christ and Our Father God FOREVER!

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO REPENT, DO IT NOW. Say this prayer with me " Father in Heaven I repent of my sinful past I confess you only begotten son Jesus and want to live forever with you. Please forgive me, fill me with your Holy Spirit ,lead me into your paths for the rest of my life. Amen" Jesus loves you for who you are right now, give him your life, he is waiting for you ; What are you waiting for? As I start my 70 th year on this old world I was given another hard test as I have lost my youngest son who killed himself on his 42 birthday over some stupid fight with his girlfriend but now he is with the Lord ,I hope to be with him and all my loved ones soon.I encourage all of you to get ready to meet your Lord and Master as He is nearer than you think,if you believe even a little then I say to you WAKE UP AND REPENT OF YOUR SINS! I will keep running the race as long as the lord wants me to share what he has given me to share which is his word YESHUA MESSIAH! HOW SWEET IT WILL BE TO LIVE IN GOD'S HOLY KINGDOM WITH THE FATHER AND HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON AND ALL THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE US,OH COME BACK SOON LORD! AMEN! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credentials of Pastor= Chaplain Jimmie Warren United States Corps of Chaplain Chaplain Title Nov.22, 2005 Chaplain(Major) Jimmie W Warren Commanding Officer WA, Brigade, 5 TH, Division Nov.22 2005 -----Retired July 2009
